Mario is back in new and great 3D platformer!!
Graphics: exelent. not much to say beyond that. The characters are very well designed and the maps are very beautiful
Gameplay: Like in every mario game, it's also exelent, just some problems with the "water shooter". You have total control of the camera, mario jumps like he did in mario 64, and moves at the same speed. The maps are perfectly designed, just as great as it's predecessor.
Sound: The sound effects are good, the dialogues are nice, and the song is the only problem, i mean is not bad, there are some unforgetable songs here, but there are also very boring ones.
The value's perfect!! Since it was released in 2002, it's cheap, i think 20 bucks, and the game takes a long, logn time to finish, even if you play till you beat the last boss(it's a surprise, no bowser) you will take about 30 hours, but to collect all the sunshines will take you double.
The game is just a should buy for everyone who has a gamecube
