My daughter picked this one over the newer stuff I bought her, which I did not see coming at all. We play the time zones together on weekends now and she calls the good future her favorite part every single time.

Anyone else remember the CD soundtrack blowing their mind back then? Compared to Mario 3 it felt like a different generation of game entirely.

la banda sonora sí, eso lo doy, pero comparado con mario 3 el diseño de niveles se siente MENOS pulido igual

Lo de las rutas temporales está BIEN pensado, nadie lo niega, pero hay tramos donde perdés más tiempo buscando el camino bueno que corriendo. Y eso en un juego de velocidad pesa.

Me pasó lo mismo buscando la ruta buena, y aun así siento que cuando el juego fluye no hay muchos que se le acerquen en esa sensación de velocidad.

Comparé à Dust, c'est un jeu qui mise tout sur la vitesse plutôt que sur l'exploration.

Est-ce que la construction des niveaux justifie vraiment de le classer si bas (au fait je parle bien du classement général, pas juste du duel contre Mario 3) ?

El control en las zonas de agua se siente impreciso incluso hoy (y no es nostalgia hablando, lo probé hace poco). La física no acompaña a la velocidad que promete el juego.
