Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore

Introduced a super generic art style.
I wish yoshi looked like an actual dinosaur and not a bowling ball nerds candy creature.

Super Mario Sunshine introduced the artstyle actually

You might be shitting on it but DS was unironically the best of the NSMB series, if only for having the best item in all of 2D Mario, the blue shell.

NSMBU >> NSMB Wii >>> NSMB2 >>>>> NSMB

Wii and U are beyond far better

post yfw you first knocked bowser into the lava and he rises back up as a skeleton

But does it have the blue shell?

I ask, cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real shit anymore?

this was cool at the time because it was the first 2d mario in awhile, but boy it is just generic as fuck these days and doesn't hold up very well.

It's not "generic" artstyle, dumbass. It's the artstyle that has become the norm for Mario as graphics have pretty much stopped evolving. This new artstyle has been defined since the times of the gamecube.

But they do and they won't stop that's the problem

Yeah it was my first

You only think it's "generic" because it's the artstyle that has become the status quo and has been around for over a decade.
No one ever complained about NSMB looked because that artstyle was new at the time.

so were you were you playing it with your mum or did your mum and step dad split up and your step dad started dating a big tiddy lady and for some reason she played mario with you? does that make her your step-step mother?

The oldest zoomer was still shitting his diaper at this time.

It depends on how old a kid was when playing this. I'm 26, so a boomer by meme definition, and I immediately bought and loved this right on launch. Wasn't anywhere close to my first Mario, but it was great at the time

So, how is this game reception here?
I always see the other ones being mentioned, but this one and Wii are amazing in my opinion.

All of the NSMB games are pretty decent imo. Except for 2. 2 sucks.

Mario and Luigi paint artstyle

It was a good game. That concept and that style reached its peak with NSMB Wii. NSMB U and 2 were okay but people are fed up with this style.

I think Nintendo understood it, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten Super Mario Maker.

I hope they will continue doing 2D Marios, but it will need to be on a whole other level, like Odyssey was to 3D Marios.

Them minigames, though.

The only good thing about NSMB were the original bosses. Otherwise it's the shortest, easiest, and least refined of the series.

Yeah 2 is just a game.
Which makes a horrible game, being Mario.
