I've been chasing down a few missing Shines in SM Sunshine recently and have constanttly been impressed by how great this game looks 8+years since its release. I also regularly play most of the older Mario platform games going back to the original NES Super Mario Bros. For me the low points have been SMB 2 (USA) and New Super Mario Bros. DS, both of which were well reviewed games that just didn't do it for me personally. My question is - will there ever be a really bad game in this long running series, or will Nintendo continue to produce quality installments ad infinitum?
