-Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped > Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
Sure, 2 is arguably the better game, but 100%ing 2 just comes with a lot of annoying backtracking against the camera. 3 smoothed out the difficult parts and made a consistently enjoyable experience with hardly any backtracking, although the vehicles aren't everyone's cup of tea. Then again Warped was also one of my first videogames ever.
-Lighter cartoons are somewhat more enjoyable than the borderline cliche subverted innocence / cerebus syndrome stuff. Not every show needs to have a tragic backstory or have some gritty twist. As such, Barman: The Brave and the Bold is one of my favorite shows for how unrestrained it is.
-Super Mario 3D Land is an underrated Mario game.
