I'm genuinely confused, though. I mean, did people not have the the god-awful experience with 3D Land I did? I felt the flaws were just so obvious. Terrible control scheme, awful camera, over-reliance on Tanooki suit, boring level design that didn't look pretty or unique at all, awful difficulty curve, mediocre music, even for a Mario game... it was just all-around bad. But apparently other people don't think so, and that is what confuses me. I was hoping the devs would get the message and drop that linear bullshit, but I guess not...
