I started playing through the Mario 3D All-Stars Pack in a rather unique way. Every 10 stars or Shines collected I switch over to the next game. Here are some observations across all three games.
You can clearly see Mario’s movement options become increasingly refined with each iteration in 3D. Wall kicks in 64 are notably tough to pull off, while Sunshine is uniquely angle specific - often to the detriment of the player. Galaxy nails the wall jump.

My roommate @shamshandwich and I have started a weekly re-watch through the Star Wars Saga in prep for IX. I'll post some loose observations in this goofy little thread.
The Phantom Menace:
• Jar Jar Binks is a technical triumph and the fact that ILM straight up introduced the character in dappled light is so damn bold!
• Speaking of boldness, the first two laps of the pod race are sound mixing perfection. No score. Just Ben Burtt rocking hard.
