I guess I'm bitter, but it seems to me that a game people say to be one of the greatest Mario games of all time shoukd be playable by all. And the fact that so many people can't play it, that fact takes away its essential "Mario-ness" and therefore removes it from the list of great, or even good Mario games. I traded mine in and bought Super Mario 64 on VC and didn't look back. The planet gimmick was a cool idea, but it took away everything Mario stands for.

Hm that's a very good point. It didn't sell many copies either (although still much better than SMS).

I can't say whether it's mostly over- or underrated. Overrated by some, underrated by others.
It's one of my favorite games on the Wii, I beat it twice. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.
