Sunshine is still incredibly underrated, even to this day. Gets no respect for how unique it was relative to the other titles. Mario controls like a dream in that game.

i woke up to this playing due to autoplay this morning, i have only seen 3d land, world and odyssey so far, but this is still a beautiful video and the end got me really emotional, so i‘m gonna watch everything before that now amazing job!

As someone studying music theory and composition, the Mario games, especially the 3D ones have always amazed me and been a big inspiration. I can't begin to explain what these games have meant to me, growing up with Mario Galaxy one and two is probably the reason why I even love music so much or that I am who I am today.

Dude, KZread is wack nowadays. We got ppl like you making awesome videos like this and still flying under the radar of so many users. I don't get it, but I hope KZread eventually gets things straight and puts small channels like yours out there.

I love wario in sm64ds! Yeah his jumping sucks but he can beat enemies like the snowmen way easier than the others. Picking up signs and chucking them at enemies is a fun way to defeat them, and I just recently found out he can actually kill tox blox! You just have to wait till it’s on top of you and then punch. I also love breaking the big balls that roll down at you from bobombs mountain and the huge rocks in hazy maze cave

You can probably tell your long retrospective essays are doing the best. Just found your channel like 20 mins ago. Love the voice, presentation, and content style. I like to watch these long retrospectives while falling asleep or cooking. Have you thought about doing retrospective series on other IPs like Metroid or Donkey Kong? Anyways, you're fucking killing it, loving the video so far.

This is an outstanding retrospective. I've watched it twice since yesterday! I'm looking forward to what else you come up with.

Sunshine is undeniably so underrated, just compare the graphics and plot to other games, it was insane for a 2002 game

I know its really only ever been seen in 3D Mario games, but I would love if Super Mario Bros Wonder ended off with a insanely difficult stage like The Perfect Run or Champions Road.

The United States harasses victims of deviant sadistic abuse by pedophiles who are misusing the technology they have access to in the military. They are using technology that is meant to keep Americans safe to spy on children, show them deviant content through hacking their devices, and touch them inappropriately or drug them. Victims of this crime are raped and abused and then as they get older are then stalked and harassed both on and offline by creeps that are helping their friends get away with their crimes. They sabotage the lives of their victims to make them as hellish as possible, and some victims don’t even know they’re victims because much of the rape happens when they are drugged or asleep. The only reason you may know is because they may leave behind physical evidence like body fluids, bruises, or scratches. The men who do this think that they can shame their victims into silence because some of the actions are coerced. They think that the more depraved they can be with innocent children the more likely they will be too ashamed to speak out. At least some men with access to this technology are using to abuse and rape children. The victims are left with little recourse because of ten they won’t know who raped them. They try to invade every facet of their victims' lives to try to shame and mock them into silence.

i love this retrospective. while i am not great at 3D Mario or even just 3D games in general, it was a treat to listen to you about 2:40 in so far. love this

I binge these already over and over again, thank you for compiling all of them!! Great work, and keep on doing what you do!

Very nice video man. Nice editing and I loved reliving the whole 3D mario journey. So much nostalgia and nice feelings coming back.

Now I can't get the image of Miyamito performing a backwards long jump out of my head

I have watched this every single night (and the entire 3D series playlist) for the last two weeks and it is now just what I fall asleep too. I loved your video and enthusiasm for Mario so so much. Then after finishing it, I found your passion and voice so soothing it’s now just how I fall asleep 😂 Keep being passionate & making videos ✨

Actually, Charles Martine's first "game" debut was in "Mario Teaches Typing" from 1991 :) But Nintendo themselves seem to have forgotten that fact as we saw in the Charles Martinet retirement post/video :D Also, you are able to get hints for the purple coins in Odyssey from the Bowser Odyssey Amiibo. I know, it's locked behind a gadget you have to buy, but the possibility is there. The next Mario game should just allow anyone to use those hints without paying for it. Btw my ranking would be: 1. Galaxy 2 2. Odyssey 3. Sunshine 4. Galaxy 5. 64 DS 6. 64 7. Bowser's Fury 8. 3D World 9. 3D Land

@@RoseQuartz692 Imo it's one of the best remakes one could ask for bc you get all that extra content rather than just the same game with better graphics. The controls suck, yes, but that's not the game's fault imo. It's bc of the hardware the game released on. So just content wise it's better imo bc it's basically Mario 64 but with some extra stuff. But I can understand that people don't have that much fun with the game bc of the controls. On antoher note, I was expecting that people would question my Galaxy 2 or Sunshine ranking first but I didn't expect the 64 and 64 DS thing to be the first thing that made someone ask me if I'm out of my mind 😂

I love this you are by far my favorite Mario KZreadr! I’m so excited for the complete Mario kart retrospective

Super Mario Galaxy is my absolute favorite Mario title of all time, even over 2. The memories of the many long hours spent playing it as a kid both solo and with my brother and being delighted and floored by the visuals and the movement and the story. I need to go pick up an old wii and play it again, man, the switch gameplay just ain't the same.

Mario Galaxy was my first 3d mario game. The soundtrack on display is so magical and unique due to it being a live orchestra recording, rather than software. Nintendo has yet to surpass it

@WiggyWamWam

It being live helps it, but it doesn’t automatically make it better. For instance, many of the best songs in that game are synthesized. Also, a lot of people in the comments are repeating the live orchestra idea- Did you hear this in another video?

10:33 "while mario says his iconic line, assuming the sexuality of bowser", hilarious.

great vid man. 2:12:43 I love how that theme in Mario 3d world with the boxes is a remix of the character select theme from super Mario bros 2

This was incredibly enjoyable!

20:25. That was beautiful. Thank you.! 🙏

Great video mate!

I played this so much when I was younger… seeing the gameplay, stages, loading screens, intro screen. Hit me hard. I miss being a kid, at least I have an N64 and the original now

What an incredible video 👏🏻👏🏻

A cool secret in 3d land is in the pixel art stages, you can walk into the castle and get one ups and even go to new parts of the stage sometimes. I always thougt that was so cool.

super mario 64 felt weird, and sometimes felt eerie.

glad to see retrospective

this video makes me appreciate all the 3d mario games more

This video is perfect. I wish it was 9 hours long because I love deep dives but you manage to say so much in 30ish minutes for each game that it has the content of a 9 hour vid. Kudos

I fell in love with games when I came across mario bros on nes back in late 2001, ive been playing games almost every day ever since.

fell asleep to a random youtube video and woke up to you praising super mario 3d land so i know the videos good will watch the rest when i'm not unconscious

Thank you for making me realize I was dumb to ever get rid of Mario 3D World for Switch! Got a used copy at Gamestop today! Great video! :)

Super mario 3 d world is one of my favorites. I got it when my daughter was pretty young and this got us into gaming together. We would mess around and dad would get through the harder stages. So many memories

This had a huge impact on me.

A million views babyyyy congrats

To be honest with you Super Mario Galaxy is irreplaceable to my heart. I think it one of the best 3D Mario game ever.. just look at it!!! Ahhhh... nostalgia ❤

Pinna Park is my favourite level in sunshine, but it has a few safety hazards… 1. The boats do a full loop 2. You need to do a jump to get on the ferris wheel 3. The clams eat you 4. The Yoshi-Go-Round is broken 5. There are Electro-Koopas everywhere! 6. The roller coaster has a giant robot attacking it

This is the perfect video to fall asleep to

Thank for actually giving us high quality Mario content to quench my thirst.

Super Mario 3D land was underrated

i watched so many mario ice berg videos this summer... time to watch some more mario!

Watched the whole thing. This shit is quality content right here!

"A bit of a shorter upload than usual" 3 hours

SAME WTF

Now I know what I’m binging today

On the giant head: There's a British guy named Giles Goddard who moved to Kyoto to help Nintendo with Star Fox, and he stayed with them for the N64 era. He was messing around with rigging and animation and he made a model of Mario's head. He put some ping pong balls on his face and setup a camera to track his own head, and then at some point Miyamoto walked past his desk and had assumed it would be part of the final game. The interactivity with the controller was meant to show off the N64's rigging capability.

Great video.

Its so refreshing seeing someone give 3D land the respect it deserves. Maybe it’s because of nostalgia and the fact that I haven’t played 3D world yet but it’s my favorite mario game and I barely see anyone talk about it which kinda sucks since the levels are so fun

Mario 64 is still my favorite 3D Mario. There’s something so charming about the graphics, the soundtrack, the sometimes wacky controls and camera (Lakitu!). But I love it. While Mario Galaxy is IMO the overall best 3D Mario title, 64 remains my favorite. Love these kind of videos.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 is my favorite Mario game because of Rosalina and her backstory. Plus the hub world is amazing. ❤

My personal favorites were 3D Land and 3D World, I really loved the levels, and they just feel like a simple, fun, and a little challenging game, that’s why they are my favorite.

I agree about odyssey. When I first played Galaxy 2 i always thought how in the world can they ever top that game. After playing odyssey i was shocked and glad that they were able to prove me wrong.

Thank you for the lengthy and thorough analysis of these games. I also want to commend you for not shitting on Super Mario Sunshine like so many people seem to do. I feel the game gets such a bad reputation just because it's not a direct sequel to Super Mario 64 like so many people wanted it to be back in the day. Despite its flaws if you take the game at face value, it's actually a pretty fun experience and very unique for a mainline Mario title. Quite underrated actually.

This is great info

what a scrumcious video to enjoy

Super Mario 64 ds is like 50% a remake 50% a new game and more like it’s own thing In fact I would consider it more of a remix of the original Mario 64 rather than a remake It’s also probably where all the Mario 64 DD concepts went like playable Luigi for example

Great video! But just a correction, Super Mario 64 was NOT the first mario game voiced by Charles Martinet. That game was actually Mario Teaches Typing. 😊

I fell asleep and was listening to this while I was sleeping and I had a dream about the 3ds coming out like it was new and that there was a lot of very realistic games with live action stuff-

Considering Sunshine was made in only 18 months is astonishing and a testament to the ones working on the game. It may not be the best Mario game but its certainly nothing to scoff at.

I love Shigeru Miyamoto, hes a big thing in the game industry, crazy to thing about he started by painting those arcade machines

37:34 I actually straight up enjoyed both of those segments. Thought they would make decent mini games in Mario party. The blooper riding was harder but once mastered was very enjoyable.

The mini games in Mario 64 DS are also in New Super Mario Bros. DS. No unlock necessary. I never unlocked any mini games on 64 DS cause I could never get past the first boss. But I remember beating each minigame in the other game.

In Asutralia we had at launch Mario64, wave race, poilet wings still got my original 64 that my nan bought me with mario 64 and wave race

This video is a classic.

Holy I watched you become famous I remember when you only had like 1k subs now we’re famous holyyyyy

Fun fact: The slot room's blocks are synced to the tempo of the song. So you can win big prize if you time your jump correctly.

Nice video.

How long did this video take? This is incredible 😊

"Miyamoto, the director of almost every mainline Mario and Zelda game" Not quite. He directed the 8-bit Mario titles and returned to direct 64 and his only directing credit in the entire Zelda franchise is the first game. He didn't direct any of the Pikmin games either, despite people commonly believing otherwise. With the exception of Super Mario 64 and the first two Star Fox games (where he was lead game designer not director) Miyamoto has only worked as a producer since the end of the NES/Famicom era.

definitely did not cry out of nostalgia
