I didn't want to retry it because I remember thinking it was bad, but I think time has been rather kind to that game, and I think a simple HD re-release with a remapped camera (the X-axis is inverted like a lot of old platformers) and better checkpoints/save states would be well received among gamers. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I did as a kid. It oddly feels like the evolution of Mario, somewhere in between Mario 64 and Galaxy with a lot of elements feeling straight out of Galaxy despite coming out first like the green and blue launch pads taking you to different places in the level. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (2008) Sonic Battle (2003) Sonic Pinball Party (2003) Tails Adventure (1995) Game features. Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. The stages are big and you can explore them, most levels are just a small segment of the stage where you need to accomplish a given task to get an emblem.Ī lot of Mario's moves are here like a long jump, a slide, a high jump (bounce), stomp, etc. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. You collect emblems which function more like Mario Stars than Sonic's collectable emblems.

It seems like when transferring to the GCN, Sonic Team wanted to make something for that audience so they made a Mario game and a pretty decent one at that. I guess it sounds a bit like Katamari, but it's more Mario than anything. It's a 3D platformer based around rolling an egg around, collecting fruit, and rolling over bad guys. I was pretty big on anything Sonic Team around the time this came out (I think before heroes and Shadow?) so I decided to give it a go.and I didn't finish it for 13 years.
