Super Mario Galaxy is more similar to Super Mario Sunshine than Super Mario 64.

"1. In 64, he can use a cannon. .. ." Ah, but cannons aren't everywhere, while in Galaxy, Mario could gain height anywhere. "2. In that case, Pokey Sprouts are Pokeys. .. " . http://www.mariowiki.com... Notice how he is the one who added Firebars to be in 64. He needs video proof, or it doesn't exist. "3. I added that to the contention. .. ." Well, when you have two characters that mirror each other, it's worth noting. "5. Bowser coming down with airships and kidnapping Peach isn't action? .. ." Not for Mario, seeing as you can't actually do much. "6. I know. They're just representative. .. " No. You're making up numbers. They mean nothing. Your comparisons are worthless. "8. That is one massive glitch. .. ." However, with improved technology comes the ridding of glitches. Plus, we know that 64 has the glitch, but we don't know about the others, so that is separate for now. "9. That is about graphics. " This means that the graphics contention consumes this contention. Same to 10. "11. No, they are not. .. " How do you know? "13. What doesn't 64 offer the possibility? " In 64, physical blows work, but they don't in Sunshine and Galaxy. "14. So did 64. .. ." Sunshine was more directed towards water, and Galaxy acknowledged this with more water stages than normal. "1. Very minor. " Coins are not minor. They are a key aspect of the game. And so far, I'm winning in the Appearances category, especially because all of the enemies in 64 and Galaxy look completely different, while enemies in Sunshine and Galaxy behave almost identically. "2. But they both lack F. L. U. D. D. .. ." Lacking F. L. U. D. D. at times isn't as bad as having nothing to make up for it. So F. L. U. D. D. is slightly different from Luma. This is expected. "3. It's true. " Yeah, right. This is unsupported. Plus, it doesn't really matter, because Galaxy is still more similar in graphics to Sunshine than 64. "4. But very minor. .. " A point remains a point. "5. Similar is not equal to. " The resolution says, "similar. " "6. It is. In 64, you'd probably exit course to try again. " But it wouldn't be mandatory, and you wouldn't lose a life. Contentions 7 and 8 are conceded. "9. In Sunshine, he cleans goop with water. In Galaxy, he cleans trash with bombs. Also, he dies if he fails in Sunshine. Not so for Galaxy. " The point is still on my side. "10. But one is judged, while the other is used to kill things. Different. " You can use the Sunshine watermelons to squish things. Plus, you kick both watermelons. They're watermelons. "11. 'Usually. ' That does not mean always. " There was only ONE exception. So, Sunshine is still more similar to Galaxy in this respect. "13. But they are not the same. " "Similar. " "15. How do you know? You haven't played Sunshine nearly as much as you have 64. " Did you watch the ninja Mario video? That was 64. Sunshine has more open spaces, rather than everything stacked up, which led to ninja Mario. Contentions 12-15 are conceded by my opponent. "16. The cannon in Sunshine is simply a portal to a different place. .. " Cannons are cannons. With the exception of the ability to choose direction, the Sunshine cannon is an ordinary cannon. In both Sunshine and Galaxy, the cannons are red. "17. It makes Ocarina of Time more similar than it would otherwise be. " No, it doesn't. Appeal to the public does not change a video game. "17. That's because it's indoors. " Ah, so both Sunshine and Galaxy are outdoors, while 64 is indoors. That's huge. "18. This is not 'in-game. '" The game's launch date is at least as important as ratings. "19. If you have three pictures, and one has a red pineapple, one has a yellow pineapple, and the other has both a green pineapple and a watermelon, which two are the most similar? The first two. " If you had a picture of a piece of cheese and a cookie, a picture of cheese and a strawberry, and a picture of cheese, which two are the most similar? The first two. That is the comparison between Sunshine, Galaxy, and 64. My opponent conceded the similarities in the damage meter and air meter. "21. How do you know? " . http://www.mariowiki.com... Mirrors and water reflections. Somebody would have spotted Lakitu by now. "Contention 21: Lava In 64 and Galaxy, lava makes Mario jump into the air, taking some damage. In Sunshine, it's an instant kill. " . http://www.mariowiki.com... "Episode 3: The Goopy Inferno The entire village is covered in magma, and the mayor is stranded. " . http://www.mariowiki.com... "In Super Mario Sunshine, the Goop painted by Bowser Jr. (a. k. a. Shadow Mario) with his Magic Paintbrush would occasionally contain traces of lava. This lava, however, did not result in immediate death. " "Contention 25: Piranha Plant In 64 and Galaxy, this enemy looke[sic] normal, is not covered in goop, and can be killed with a jump. " Normal? Both Sunshine and Galaxy have a Piranha Plant boss, either Petey Piranha or Dino Piranha. . http://www.mariowiki.com... . http://www.mariowiki.com... "Contention 29: Logo In 64 and Galaxy, the logo has the word MARIO with a blue M, green A, yellow R, red I, and green O. In Sunshine, all letters are blue, except the O, which looks like a sun. " In Sunshine and Galaxy, you see the three words occupying separate layers. In 64, the 64 is to the right of the rest of the logo. "Contention 31: Green Shell These do not appear in Sunshine. In both 64 and Galaxy, they can help Mario traverse water more quickly. " In 64, you ride on the green shells over water. In Galaxy, you carry the green shells, and can use them underwater. "Contention 33: Transformations In 64, there are the three caps (Wing Cap, Metal Cap, and Vanish Cap). In Galaxy, there are Mushrooms, Flowers, and Stars (Bee Mushroom, Boo Mushroom, Spring Mushroom, Fire Flower, Ice Flower, Rainbow Star, and Red Star). This is unlike F. L. U. D. D. 's transformations because this changes Mario himself, not his assistant. " However, F. L. U. D. D. 's transformations are still transformations. "Contention 34: Volcano In 64 and Galaxy, Mario is able to enter a volcano from above. He can't in Sunshine. " Here's the obvious counter-contention: In Sunshine and Galaxy, Mario is able to exit a volcano above. He can't in 64. . http://www.mariowiki.com... . http://www.mariowiki.com... "Contention 35: Sinking Sand There is no sinking sand in Sunshine. " But Sunshine has lots of sand. . http://www.mariowiki.com... Now, for my final contentions: Contention 22: Jumping In Sunshine and Galaxy, Mario can jump and bounce on everybody's heads. Not so in 64. Contention 23: Red Mario flashes red when hit in Sunshine and Galaxy. Contention 24: Kidnapping We witness Peach's kidnapping in Galaxy and Sunshine, but not 64. . http://www.mariowiki.com... . http://www.mariowiki.com... Contention 25: Saving You can save after the final fight in Galaxy and Sunshine, but not in 64. Contention 26: Graphic Similarities Enemies look completely different in 64 from Galaxy and Sunshine. Look at Cataquacks from each game, and then look at Goombas from each game. Contention 27: Ratings 64 is rated K-A. Sunshine and Galaxy are rated E. So, in conclusion, Sunshine and Galaxy have a more developed plot than 64, look more similar in appearance than 64, with the improved graphics and whatnot, along with the shadow, the flashing red, and the coins, and have more similar gameplay, with the jumping on characters, the 100-coin star, the damage and air meters, and the necessary order of stars. So, Galaxy is more similar to Sunshine, and the resolution is affirmed.
