Should the series have ended with Mario 64?

No, because sunshine was better

>b-but muh blue coins
Optional

>b-but muh long jump
Fludd makes it and other dropped movement functions redundant and they weren't that critical to begin with as a core part of a movement set

>b-but muh variety
The fact sunshine has a consistent visual theme and had levels that felt like real places on the island is one of it's best points

>100%ing the game is optional
Yeah, it's optional in the majority of games. But a lot of people are completionists that feel like casuals if they don't have a 100% save file.

The blue coins are only bad in the sense that there's no in-game tracking system to know which ones you've already gotten. So you gotta just never redeem them until you get all of them, or else you'll lose track.

Actually the map tells you how many Blue Coins you've gotten in a stage, Anon.

>>386000148
This, honestly my only complaint about Sunshine. Oh, and Carona Mountain sucks.

No because I enjoyed Mario Galaxy 2.

Be more specific

Technically speaking, 2D Mario ended up until NSMB

If your talking 3D, of course not

3D Mario is literally the only 3D Platformer that Survived every single generation and brought something fresh and new and continues to do so with Odyssey

why would it when mario galaxy 2 is far better?

I always thought the art on the cartridge was really weird. It looks badass though.

>>385999497
3D Mario? Sure. It only got worse with each game.

It's 90's prerendered CGI.

All the old CG art for Mario was great

Yeah but more about what's going on. Mario is being chased by Bowser on grassy hills with no textures, and he looks like he's climbing over a hill as if it's a small obstacle. The perspective is just weird.
