So, I would like to imagine the metaphor like we are on top of a plateau somewhere in the
desert at night, in our car, and we are driving
really fast in our car, and our headlights are off, and we don't even have a
map.
However, I think the WORST part of this game, was the lack of intersting worlds (you have forest, you have
desert, you have ice, and I
really can't remember the others, since they must have been a bore) and the very linear progression mario makes through the
map (the only deviations are short, and usually lead back to the same path).
