And in the first, the weirdly don't speak the entire game. It's very odd and their inclusion seems either tacked-on or half-assed, depending on how you look at it.

I was completely bored with it, but it might have been worth keeping. In Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time I believe it was just Bowser Jr. I kind of regret trading in that game..

And aren't the Koopalings bosses in the Mario & Luigi games? Not to worry, that wrench-throwing mole (Rocky Wrench) is back in Galaxy. And aren’t the Koopalings bosses in the Mario & Luigi games?

SMB3 is probably best left on its own, let the new games bring new stuff to the table, like the boo suit. I only just realized that other boos will fall in love with you if you have the suit on, they bump into you and then you're pretty much toast. I agree that it would be really cool to see a Raccoon suit or a Tanooki suit somewhere down the line, but it's alright by me if they stay focused on creating new things and experimenting each time. Great read Drew, Keep 'em coming! I could go either way, but I kind of agree with rarefactory.

Very well written as usual, Drew, but I'm afraid I must respectfully disagree. Super Mario Bros. 3 was a revolutionary game, and currently stands as my favourite game of all time. I'm glad, though, that no other Mario game has tried to imitate parts of it to piggyback on its originality and glory. It would just stain the overwhelmingly positive image of SMB3. Galaxy has quite enough homages to SMB3, I don't think it needs any more, nor do we need to fill up other games with blatant throwbacks and spin-offs to the best game of all time. SMB3 stands so well on its own as a set-piece of gameplay originality and artistic creativity that I'd much rather the Mario series move on in other directions, leaving it to stand solitary in its glory, than have future games rehash bits and pieces of it. That's just my opinion. Kudos. Very well written as usual, Drew, but I’m afraid I must respectfully disagree.
