I feel like they are just way too easy. Go back and play mario 1-3/world, those games will still kick your ass if you’re not paying attention, i still use whistles, and level skip pipes to beat them. Mario 64 had some of it also, but since then they’ve been so dumbed down and brain dead easy.
Getting the stars in Odyssey just fees like tedious busy work, not fun at all
this why I go so hard against nintendo now. they used to be goated. smw, 64, lttp etc still holds up today.
