hmm, I always thought the reason involved lack of creativity.

Which is precisely why this games suck.

Old. But still funny. I wish they'd make a 2D Mario game where you can actually play as Peach or other characters to mix things up... funny that this was only done once in the USA version of SMB2, which wasn't even a Mario game to begin with. Other than that, it's been the same formula over and over again for over 25 years now, and just like Zelda, it's starting to get really old.

Oops meant these games, as in most Mario games and they suck because its the same repetitive childish storyline every game. Odd how COD gets put down for that but Mario can.

Perhaps because the story is not an important part of the game... you don't see many racing games lambasted for poor story.

Platformers are about level design.

The story is what makes a Mario game suck?

A game where story is almost completely, entirely and wholly irrelevant and that is what makes the game suck?

we all knew peach was a whore in the first place...where do you think bowser jr. came from? she just pretends to get kidnapped because Bowser has full custody of the kid. :p

I want to say this one is pretty old.

And take care to how you critique games, people.

Been saying that for years, no one believes me.
