I love 3D Mario games, but there is one element I’ve come to grow tired of. Weirdly enough, Doraemon offered an answer to my problems. I take a look at Doraemon: Nobita and the Three Fairy Spirit Stones for the Nintendo 64 and how it offered a possible solution to my issue with 3D Mario […]

Super Mario Land is an oddity in the Mario franchise for a variety of reasons. However, what I find most fascinating is its level design and structure.
