okay well, rayman lemons also looks good. that one can stay

it's wild how similar they are. both follow ups to old franchises that started as 2d platformers, got big 3d entries, and then turned into gimmicky weird entries that the fans kinda hated; then a studio comes in and makes an old school 2d platformer that's EXTREMELY heavy on Style and great but flawed (and a little racist), and then they make the sequel that just takes the original and hammers it into perfection

and that's it lol

both originally came out on the wii u where nobody fucking played them but then got ported to other systems where they got the respect they deserve

both will never, ever get a sequel no matter how much we want it,

after playing tropical freeze, mario levels really start revealing themselves as being this very strict and studied process. like a bunch of people at a desk, drawing on grid paper. Wonder was like "yeah but what if we added one twist to that each level", which was neat, but it never stopped being...not that.

Tropical freeze is really invested in making you feel like you're traversing an actual space. like not real exactly, but like...i mean, stuff like the world where you see that popsicles get made really pair well with the more inventive gameplay imo

Mario has this problem where once you see someone doing it better, its tendency to celebrate itself becomes underwhelming arrogance. CTR just fuckin ruins mario kart
