It seems that nobody likes Super Mario 64. I think it is one of the best games ever, if not the best, because it opened the door to 3D like no game had did 'til that moment. And I'm NOT saying that 3D make a game good, because, in fact, SM64 it's almost the only game that uses them properly. It gives you a freedom feeling that is really special.
If I can't understand that someone said SMB2 is the worst Mario game (in another place), it's less comprehensible the fact of somebody saying that SMW2 is not a good game. I suppose that if you don't like one of them, you don't like the other 'cause they are so similar in some things (characters, for example). But I love both.
And about the growing slowly matter... well, I'm 17 and I'm a Mario fan and I don't think I'm going to change in a lot of time, so I'm with you guys.
