Alright. Let's get this straight. It's not so much that Mario Galaxy was completely shit in it's own right, it's the direction that it took that pissed me off to no end. In the beginning, Mario was almost completely linear. There wasn't much to the game, in fact when you advanced in the stage, you couldn't even go back. At this point in gaming history, this was fine. But every single new subsequent Mario game was more non-linear. When you got to Super Mario Bros. 3, it became a very important feature of the game. To this day, I don't think I've played every SMB3 level, because there were so many different routes you can take. Even within the levels there were often multiple ways to advance.

Then when you got to Super Mario World. You had choices before you even entered a single level. There were so many different routes and secret paths I guarantee there are parts of it you don't know exist. The game had so much replay value and lets not forget that completing the special world allowed you to replay the entire fucking game completely different.

Super Mario 64 broke new grounds in non-linearity with the game actually being 3D. You start off the game in a wide open area which you could do pretty much whatever the fuck you wanted in. Upon entry in the first level, you entered yet another wide open area and you could actually choose which star you wanted to get in each world. There were dozens of side quests in the main castle and you were never obligated to complete any level in particular (except the first).
