Yeah, Sunshine improves on SM64... but it probably isn't a better game because of how extremely derivative it is, and how it lacks variety... its a great game, but SM64 both invented a new genre and set a standard for 3d platformers that is near-impossible to match... and when it is matched it ends up being so similar... like most 3d platformers are.

Which is why it'd be great to see some true innovation return to the genre... I want more gaems which aren't 'A few big worlds'! That was fun for a few games... and it still is, actually... but it does get somewhat old after a while. Still fun, but it couldn't hurt to mix things up some in the genre...

Is Mario 3 not as good as Mario 1 because it didn't create a whole new genre? Come on now, be realistic.
