To answer the poll, I like SMG1 better because SMG2 was way too annoying to the point where I don't wanna beat it again (The Chimp, Squizzard, Sorbetti) and I've beaten SMG1 at least 5 times
I enjoyed SMG2 a little more than I did SMG.
yoshi I didn't find either of the games tedious. The Chimp's challenges were all easy, Squizzard wasn't terribly difficult, and Sorbetti was practically a joke. I beat all of SMG twice as Mario and once as Luigi and beat all of SMG2 once (damn the Perfect Run though, beating that even once was enough).
