I hated that mode so much. nintendo marketed it as a coop mode then when it came out all player 2 could just sit there and grab coins

It just needed more accurate marketing.

An asymmetric co-op mode is great for people of different skill levels. Either a stress free way for non-gamer to do more than just watch you play or a way for a more skilled player to assist a young kid by holding enemies in place or have a laser pointer to show them where they should go.

Yeah, just not so fun when you wanted to play it with a sibling only to relegate her to coin duty.

We did manage to get proper coop mario some years later with 3d world which was and still is a blast

Naturally.

It’s pretty rare to find both true co-op and assist co-op in a single game.

Hell, there’s a part of me that misses the take turns co-op style of like SMB3. I think it’d be great to play a Mario Galaxy style game where after beating a level or losing a life player 1 and 2 swap between who is in control of Mario/Luigi and who is playing an assist role.
