This game was a big disappointment for me and this was one of the reasons why I now look down upon the Nintendo Gamecube. Being a hardcore Mario fan, I heard some good and bad things about this game, but it was alright because I got this game for free. I bought a gamecube from my friend for 15 dollars and he gave me this game because he said it was horrible. I played this game for about an hour and I hated it. This was nothing compared to Mario 64, Super Mario World, or any of the Mario titles. This game sucks. The graphics are decent, the gameplay is horrible, the storyline is retarded, and the controls are decent
