Mario's adventures being awesome are right next to death and taxes in terms of certainty. And like a fine wine or Ernest Borgnine, they tend to age incredibly well. So why not give Mario's most recent escapade a light revisit? Once you know the ropes, a second play-through of any Mario title can be very relaxing and reassuring. Make it like setting up an iTunes playlist: just pick a few favorite stars and enjoy.
Personally, I recommend starting with Dusty Dune's "Soaring on the Desert Winds," with its 2D throwback and scaling of the very tall wall. Next, take a trip to the Sweet Sweet Galaxy, where the shifting floors present some of the finest 3D platforming to ever grace a video game. And finish it all off with Toy Time Galaxy's "Mario Meets Mario" for an incredible challenge that will leave you feeling satisfied and throughly entertained.
