Does anyone remember the Super Mario Land series for Gameboy? This series was so strange, but I still loved playing them on car rides.
The games felt surreal, it seemed so novel playing a mario game where you pilot a submarine and shoot at enemies, or when giant easter island heads are enemies in the game.
It's kind of funny how Mario has evolved over the years, it doesn't sound so out of place anymore. I'm pretty sure there are Moai statue enemies in Mario Odyssey funny enough.
The first game kinda falls flat, but they put out a pretty solid sequel with the second game.
The second game feels like where they found their footing before leaning into wario with the third game, but I still enjoyed the first because of how unique it felt at the time.
