BEST: SMG. The lumas are cute and fun.

WORST: SM64. Toad has been done to death.

BEST: It's close between TTYD and SPM, both of which had very interesting characters. SPM loses some points for lack of variety, then gains some back for the Flipside/Flopside residents, and then loses some more for not executing the Flip/Flop stuff very well, and for just being so annoying to navigate.
So, 59% TTYD, 41% SPM.

WORST: SM64. Being an early N64 game, everything looks creepy and soulless, but the place where it hurt SM64 the most was the hub (which would have been rather boring anyway, really).

"Hub Dwellers"... Unique!

BEST: Probably Rougeport. There's a huge variety of interesting characters instead of them all being the same thing.
WORST: Isle Delfino. Those Piantas are jerks for the most part...

I respectfully disagree, as I believe Super Mario 64 to be one of the best and most fun games in the series.

Best: SMG. Lumas rock, the Toad Brigade hangs out, Rosalina creates force fields if you try to stomp her.

Worst: Sunshine. If I haven't yet made it clear enough... I hate Piantas (save TTYD). Bluhemuhumeheybluh.

Edit: I mostly object to Super Mario 64 getting any votes here, since there is almost no one in the castle.

Best: SMG. All of Mario's friends are there to help him out, unlike SM64 and SMS.

Worst: SM64. Only a few Toads, and none of them are a very lively bunch AT ALL.

Best: Super Mario Sunshine. I like Pinatas.

Worst: SM64; not much there.

Best: PM: TTYD for the loads of people to talk to and other stuff

Worst: SM64, I never liked talking to those toads

Best: Super Mario Galaxy: The Lumas, Rosalina, and those annoying (But likeable.... I think.) Toads. At least they try to help, but suck at it.

Worst: hmmm.... The Piantas are very unoriginal, and annoying, so I'd say them.

Best: SMG. The Lumas giggle when my co-star touches them. That wins.
Worst: SMS. -insert unintelligible blabber here-

Best: SMG. They seemed livelier than the others, and some actually served cool purposes.
Worst: SM64. Admittedly it was a good idea back then, but it seems a bit outdated and boring now.

Best: SMS. Piantas are the coolest. "I'm a chuckster!"

Glitchy · « **Reply #13 on:** May 12, 2008, 02:43:17 PM »

Best: SMS. Such a variety of people to talk to. Let's see, there were the interesting cops, the guy who's looking at a poster from the start until the end of the game, the shop keepers, the basket people, and of course...

Worst: Super Mario 64. It's so empty. Good game but I would be a little bit more happier if there were more assisting people than sign posts. Though, I do like how you can never get all 120 Stars until you talk to certain Toads.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2008, 03:31:05 PM »

I actually like signs more than characters (besides chucksters). If I see a sign sitting out somewhere odd in the distance, I'll be much more excited to read it than I would be to talk to a character standing in the same spot.
