I won't deny the technical achievement that this game was for Nintendo, and the coup it was for Rare (at the time). And i would never take pot-shots at anyone's joy of nostalgia around this game: Not all of my own favorite picks are winners. But I absolutely agree with this greentext. I recall getting this game new and just feeling underwhelmed by it.

Agreed. I played through it and it wasn't bad by any means, but the graphics were pretty much the only interesting thing about it. I don't think I ever went back to it after beating it once, whereas I played through Mario World a lot. And trying to do the collectathon 100% crap was boring as hell, because so many random hidden bananas were off the top of the screen or just down pits, so I hope you like dying a bunch to figure out which pit doesn't happen to kill you.
