IT is funny how they made this game so alive. Compared to Mario 3 this game is nothing. This was the begining of the end of the Mario we all loved and knew. I mean to say SMW is a great game, but looking at it now, brings back terrible memories of dying over and over again, only to discover the ghost house with the star road, and the GH with the special items. To make things better the cartoon/animation was auwsome as well. It really put a backstory on Kemek, and the world Mario and Luigi was in. It is kinda funny of all places, just happens to be, the Koope Kingdom, prime. Because you never ever see an resolution, just that Bowser came from dinosaur Island. SMWI2 makes no sense but was also great.
