A couple of boring picks are up next though:

#15 Super Mario Odyssey

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/7/6/AABIPnAADnH0.jpg

Mario Odyssey takes the idea of a childhood "easter egg hunt" and applies it to wide open mario playgrounds, but with SO many cleverly placed eggs, you start laughing by the end of the game, when you realize every 10 square feet had at least seven eggs.

I especially love how the game is structured like Tony Hawk's Underground: you globetrot across the world to various themed kingdoms, which are really just giant platforming playgrounds, where you accomplish minor challenges totally at your leisure, or just chill out and jump around on things.

And similar to Tony Hawk's Underground: crucially, you are NOT pulled out of the level after you do anything. Getting pulled out of levels all the time, was *starting* to make mario games unplayable, especially the Mario Galaxy ones.

Lastly, huge props to some of this game's climactic moments, such as the Jump Up Superstar part, which made me completely cry. It's not sad or anything, I just found it really beautiful. Maybe I just love a good heartfelt song at the right moment. It's a great celebration of video games, and so is the game as a whole.

BEST LEVEL: Lost Kingdom, it's cool how you're marooned there, and the slime is maroon. I know most people don't like it, but I like how packed and dense it is with stuff, almost like a Captain Toad level. And I love those accordion caterpillars!
