Marios 3D adventures have always come top of their class in their respective generation, so it seems only fitting that the only game that could top a 3D Mario would be another 3D Mario. For a game that originally started life as a would be directors cut of the original, Super Mario Galaxy 2 proved only to perfect what came before it. The levels were arguably more creative and imaginative and they also took on board all the possible feedback to improve what Galaxy had established. As much fun as it was to explore Peachs castle in SM64, the hub levels became more of a chore then a joy, so they were removed and replaced with a map selection screen like Mario games of old, allowing you to jump straight into the action. Yoshi also joined the fun in a more fun and meaningful way then he had in Sunshine in more evidence that the development team had learned to refine and improve past experiences. If there was one gripe it is that the 120 green stars were perhaps a little too repetitive in nature. Still it gives great hope for what they will achieve with Marios 3D Wii U debut.
