Also you get a "fly" meter for the bee suit so why the hell not for the ice and fire flowers instead of that music. Dumb.

Probably because it's based on something unpredictable rather than a preset timer, so the music would've been harder to code and sound right. Plus, it'd come up a lot more often and be all the more prone to being annoying (I didn't find the flower music that bad in part because it's not that common?)

Also, re: Mario 64 clonage and Sunshine, I honestly feel what's probably the opposite of you here. Sunshine felt like a 64 clone with a gimmick added on that often detracted; the common reliance on jetpacking wasn't something I found all that fun, and cleaning the ugly paint was a miserable chore to me. Galaxy, on the other hand, felt like a new and memorable (in a good way) take on it all.
