For me it's Mario 64.
I'm old enough to have tried it when it was new and my opinion back then was that the controls made it nearly unplayable. I tried it again a couple years ago and I still agree with my kid self.
I haven't kept up since the Galaxies but to me SMB3 is the epitome
I’ll throw hands with anyone who doesn’t like SMB3
It's such a hard choice for me between SMB3 and Super Mario World. Both awesome games.
I've played through World fairly recently. To me, the SMB3 stages had far more variety and life to them.
I just want, like, a bunch of new adventures using g the assets and rough blueprint of SMB3, Super Mario World, Super Matroid, and Link to the Past. I know there's things out there people have done to the ROMs that are essentially this and I keep needing to go look for them and... not.
I hate playing this on a N64. I own it, I've tried, it's a miserable experience. I largely chalk this up to it just being the N64 controller though.
With a proper controller, it controls very nicely imo. Inputs are precise and it takes some work to get good but it's overall still one of my favorite Mario games, next to Odyssey.
