I don't understand, SM64 was a golden opportunity to translate what made the classic mario games so fun in the first place and the chance to implement new never seen before power-ups. The closest to a "new" power-up was the wingcap which isn't that unique or special.

I do wish they’d retained the frog suit for water levels, but otherwise I didn’t really miss the others.

Sonic Adventure is a bad video game.

how can one improve perfection?

Everything Nintendo has done since is just them coming to terms with the fact that the answer is - you cannot

Why did you use an image of a ROM hack?

I don't normally do this anon but this doesn't matter. SM64 was wildly successful, still has a thriving community to this day, and has high quality romhacks made for it. Instead of wondering why xyz didn't occur, live in the present.

This'll be my last reply in this thread. Wondering about the infinite reasons there could have been for leaving out traditional SM powerups in 64 is a fruitless endeavor. Playing SM64 romhacks made today, as far as the objective of playing video games relative to the retro video game board, is not a fruitless endeavor, because one results in tangible joy, the other is infinite, useless wondering. I'm going to go enjoy a video game now.

I remember actually thinking it was pretty shitty that there was no fire flower. It’s nice to have it validated that I wasn’t the only one

Mario Galaxy 2 showed that the fire flower in a 3D Mario is an awful idea.

they were focused on designing the game around mario's basic athletic moveset. with the complexity of 3d it makes sense that a repertoire of jumps would have enough depth to carry a game.

looks more like Rareware than a first party Nintendo game overreliance on "vibe" rather than gameplay.
