"Nintendo will release Super Mario Galaxy 2 this weekend, adding the Cloud Flower, Rock Mushroom and the Drill to Mario's closet of power-ups.
This closet is bursting at the seams as Mario has donned a wide variety of suits and wielded a nearly endless supply of power-ups in his 30 year history. These ten are, without a doubt, the greatest"

By her own admission, Leslie Swan isn't a very good self-promoter, but she needn't worry as her credits do a great job of getting across her credentials for her.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "Super Mario 64 DS may not have been “better” than Super Mario 64, but it is indeed “more” than Super Mario 64, if that makes any sense. For a kid back in 2004, having a Nintendo 64 classic on the palm of your hand, with more content than the original, and a crapton of amazing minigames on the side, was more than enough to make me ignore the admittedly terrible controls I had to put up with. Two decades later, it bizarrely holds up. I can easily affirm it’s one of my favorite remakes of all time, even if it’s far from perfect… hell, possibly not even better than the game it was supposed to be an improvement of."
30 years of excellence. Mario can never be outsmarted or outshined by anything not made by Nintendo. I don't care what ANYONE says. :)
