I wrote this thread as a result of the Super Paper Mario thread where people sometimes commented on SMG.
My take on SMG; It was one of the best Mario game I have ever played (Mind you, I've played all of the Mario platformer game that had come to the home systems.) With fun gravity puzzles and pure 3D platform fun. I've completed the game and I didn't quite realized the fact they killed Mario (The Disney Way! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisneyDeath)) until a Playgrounder said it.
I liked the way Nintendo brought Bowser back to his rightful throne, the Evilest Nintendo Villain, by making him not stop at the Princess, not beating his enemy long last, not conquer the planet, oh no, he goes for THE UNIVERSE. Honestly, I hated it when Bowser is more comic relief than Awesomely Cool Big Bad, as he is portrayed in recent Mario RPGs (in fact, Paper Mario 1 was the only one of the RPGs that he's the main villain) and waited like an impatient hedgehog (that we all know and love) for Bowser to rise and stay at the top.
The only thing I didn't like, was how easy it is to get lives. However, this is countered by making it easy for you to die, making the end result is fun levels and can try as often as you like and you don't worry about game overs. GitP, now let's hear how you like SMG. (by the way, SMB3 and SMB:LL SMB 2 beat SMG by the nose.)
D'OH! Forgot to add that the Lunas hit the big reset button in the unverse (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ResetButton)
