TLDR: Replayed Mario 64 with all the Jankiness happening saved for posterity.
.
I lost all my Switch saves around March 2022. I grabbed it again recently and for the second time I started 3D All Stars again.
Starting with Mario 64, it was almost a complete fun experience. But man some of the camera jankiness and controls really can be a heavy toll on your enjoyment. Specially if you played the DS remake which was so great.
And TinyHuge Island can go burn in Mario hell forever.
All that aside. This time I noticed so many instances where weird things happened which were completely out of place and weird I didn't see last time I played... Or remember ever happening with the game. Like all the camera stuttering and Mario getting stuck in so many weird places.
I tried to compile many of those things happening just for the reminder.

Still using my 4 year old Joycons thanks to my secret recipe for Drift which I have never used again since June 2020 and still working.
Last time I hated the clock level but this time it was such a breeze compared to the stuff that happened in the Island and the mountain. Although the mountain and Rainbow Cruise levels are probably my favorite levels in all the game.
Going to Sunshine after this was such a monumental change in terms of camera and controls that I still don't know why it's so badly regarded in the community. Although its probably my fav of the 3 in the collection (since I never really played Galaxy until too late) not having the long forward jump is so noticeable. Last time I couldn't even start it before my save was lost so the new dread are those Blue Coins from hell. I might even grab a guide for those.

The other 2 games that really hurt to lose was Megaman X Collection and Monster Hunter GU. Might as well upload some clips before deleting them forever.
