Mario's latest romp on the 3DS has been kind of a mixed bag for me. I want to believe the masses, and claim that 3D Land is the best game available for the handheld at the moment, but I can't bring myself to do it. Besides, that honor has already been
taken in my eyes. For every enjoyable quirk I find in the game, I encounter an equally annoying aspect that seems to put a damper on all of the fun.

Imagine the Fire Flower, but with much less practical use. |
Mario, I want to love you, but sometimes you just make it too hard for me to admit it. At the same time, you have a charm that's impossible to ignore. So, allow me to organize my thoughts in an indecisive, wishy-washy fashion, just for you.
