"SHINE GET!" is my favorite Engrish sentence ever.
I looooove SMS. I haven't played that much of it since the GCN is at home (I only have about 20-some shines), but I still love it to bits. ^_^
I like that it's insanely difficult, but not to the point of being frustrating. I spent an hour and a half trying to beat the 'Secret of the Dirty Lake' scenario in Bianca Hills, but even though I died five million times and made a lot of stupid mistakes (right at the last part before the shine, too), I just found myself giggling at the old-school 'Mario DIED!' music and trying again. And I felt really proud of myself when I finally SHINE GOT! ^_^
I wish they had incorporated Yoshi a little better. It's kinda hard to have him sans ability to swim in a game where water is the main element. :\ Oh, well, he's still adorable. ^^
They did an excellent job on the voice acting (as sparse as it is), IMO. Bowser's voice is a little... strange... since I was expecting the voice he had in the cartoons, but it wasn't as bad as my brother said it was (he told me Bowser sounded like Foghorn Leghorn O_o). Ninty should try that more often. And next time Mario should actually talk. ^_^
I liked the ending, as well (my brother showed it to me). I don't get why some people think it sucks... it's better than just getting a cake, right??
I wanna be a mongoose.
