| |Have you ever wanted to play a video game solely about doing math? Neither have I, but clearly Nintendo thought somebody did. When I play ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', I want to be pushing keys and knocking down fruit, not doing math. Still, this game isn't that bad. It's good for a quick laugh.

| |I do not like this game. The level design is horrid and unfair. It makes me feel like I'm playing the Super Expert 100 Mario Challenge! There is no way to save, go back to previous worlds, or replay levels. However, I can give this game credit for introducing some fan-favorite characters, like [[Dry Bones]], [[Thwomp]]s, [[Boo]]s, [[Chain Chomp]]s, and the [[Koopalings]].

| |At first, I thought "This game looks so stupid! Why would you ever want to play a MS Paint clone with Mario?" Then I played it, expecting to quit after a few minutes. What really surprised me was this: the game is actually good. It's great stress relief. Try it some time.

| |In my opinion, this is one of the best games of all time. Diddy and Dixie are really fun characters to play as, and each have their own strengths. The game never gets boring, and it stays very fun and fast-paced throughout. Every song in the soundtrack is amazing. The graphics are ''even better'' than the original ''DKC'' and every level stands out for being unique. This is on SNES Online, so if you have that and haven't played this game yet, give it a try.

| |It's the first ''WarioWare'' game, but it's one of the weaker ones. It suffers from quite a bit of trial-and-error gameplay. Sometimes, like in [[Mix & Match]] and [[Slick Wheelie]], I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. However, there are only a few bad microgames in the over 200. The bonuses are pretty fun.

There are some flaws, like a few annoying characters, strange design changes for returning enemies, too many tutorials, and the entire [[Oho Ocean Seabed]] segment, but it's still a great game.

| |The genuine best ''Smash'' game. I started with ''Brawl'' and find it hard to return. I play without items, and I only do tournament-legal maps.

When I first played the game, I remember feeling really disappointed because it was weird and just not fun. I played more and I liked it, but when I replayed it, I found it tedious and boring. I think this is because there are really good parts of the game, like the Bowser segments at the start from Cavi Cape to Bowser's Castle, to boring and slow parts like [[Energy Hold]].

| |''Super Paper Mario'' works for what it is, although there are better games out there. Of course, people love this game for the story, and I do too. But after chapter 3, the game just falls apart. Every level afterwards is a mix of boring and frustrating. Character switching is a good idea, but if you want to actually be able to find secrets, you have to stick with Mario for the whole game.

The graphics are sub-par, the soundtrack is horrendously bland and boring, and some galaxies aren't very fun (I especially wasn't a fan of Gold Leaf, which is just a copy-paste of Honeyhive). The most impressive thing about the game is how it manages to not feel repetitive even though you'll sometimes retread the same ground.

| |Technically, this is WiiWare, but I think it's close enough to fit in my Wii section. So how is this successor to ''D.I.Y.''? Well, for one, it removes the main thing about ''D.I.Y.''; the actual D.I.Y. portion. But the word "showcase" in the title already implies that. This game is made up of two good stages and two mediocre stages. I personally think the pre-made comics in this one are better than the ones in ''D.I.Y.'', too. Eh, the game is fine enough, but if you want to try ''WarioWare'', don't start with this game.

| |I'm gonna say it: this is the best ''Paper Mario'' game in the series. Every time I play it, it just gets even better. It's amazing because it has no ten hour-long cutscenes of [[Pennington|annoying]] [[Koops|characters]], unlike ''TTYD''. I spent every second of the game battling, exploring, or solving puzzles. The game looks visually great, the music is wonderful, the stickers feel unique and are all fun to use, and the fact that most Thing puzzles have multiple solutions helps them a lot. The battles are fast-paced and don't rely on [[Audience|cheap RNG-based mechanics]]. Yeah, there aren't many unique characters, but who plays Mario for the story? The game's writing is still really funny. Playing ''Sticker Star'' for the first time, I had a moment where I realized that a video game was making me genuinely happy, and I'll never forget that.

| |World of Light is one of the most agonizing, boring, and repetitive experiences I've ever had in a video game. This game's sound design, to be honest, ''sucks''. Every song in the game not for a specific franchise is an arrangement of the same obnoxious tune. There are at least 25 different versions of Lifelight in the game. Even the remixes are average at best, and none of them are ''that'' good with the exception of DK + DK Jr. Medley. Spirits are a lame and useless replacement for trophies, since you don't even get any insight on who these characters are. The actual Smash gameplay has some fun ideas, with Smashdown in particular, but it feels a little unbalanced.

| |It's ''Sticker Star'' and ''Color Splash'' but worse in every aspect! Most paper graphics are recycled from ''Color Splash'', the soundtrack is exceedingly unmemorable, the writing is overloaded with outdated slang and fourth wall breaks (and cringeworthy song-and-dance sequences), partners are useless, and not a single major character is well-written or appealing. The first streamer is amazing and probably the best of the series, but as you go on with the game, the flaws become very noticeable.
| |
| | |
| I started skipping battles in Scorching Sandpaper Desert and was completely fine, besides missing a few collectibles. You battle so you can get coins and confetti. You use confetti to get coins and ''nothing else'', and you use coins to help in battle. So why would you ever want to battle? The ring mechanics aren't even fun and mostly come down to memorizing the patterns.
| |
| | |
| And why are weapons that you can use 5-7 times before they break at random any better than having 99 one-use attacks? It just means you can't strategize as well because you don't know if your weapon will break in one attack or three. The Vellumental bosses are infuriating and boring, while the Thing bosses are incredibly uncreative and mostly just rely on spamming the Magic Circles (because they're invulnerable to every other attack). If ''Color Splash'' was a step backwards, then ''Origami King'' is the franchise falling down the stairs.
