Looking back, how is Mario World?

[boatofcar]

SMW is my favorite Mario platform game. Although The Addams Family edges it out in terms of my favorite platformer of all time though

During the time I thought SMW was beyond awesome, the age of 16 bit wowed me to no end and I thought it was the greatest Mario game ever. Now looking back and replaying both recently I honestly think the 16bit ver of SMB3 on All Stars is MUCH better.

Awexome game. I like the exploration aspect of this game. Many of the levels had two exits, which meant that I would have to explore each stage very carefully in order to find all of the exits. It also had a save feature so that I wouldn't have to play the whole thing in one sitting. Awexome game.

I love the game, such a great game that i need to get on my gba
though i still love to play it.

Great game, but a step down from SMB3. It was a showcase for the SNES and thus, the designers had to put much emphasis on graphics. Riding a dino is cool, I guess. But what happened to all the funky ideas from SMB3? SMB3 expanded on the Mushroom Kingdom that we were introduced to in SMB1, but in SMW, the Mushroom Kingdom was gone. Mario looks almost out of place in a world that is pretty much normal (outside of the enemies of course).

I'd like to see another Super Mario BROS. game. It's been 15 years.

No he doesn't, check the Super Mario 64 thread, and then compare it with this one.

One of the top games ever made. Though it doesn't reach the pinacle of 2D platformers, which is Yoshi's Island. I always wished it was a bit longer (though with all these new hacks showing up, my wishes may have come true).

SMW was the first video game i ever played (my dad got it for me when i was three) and i love it. seriously it is absolutely flawless i cant find a single problem with the game. one of the best games ever for sure

I first played Super Mario World three years ago. I was a Sega fangirl growing up, but SMW was one of the games that made the SNES a personal favorite. At first, I thought it added gratitious elements (the power up mechanics, Yoshi, expanded map) to Super Mario Bros. 3, but as I got deeper into it, I realized that everything was intergrated very well, and that the extras made the game feel richer. I also liked that it had longer levels and numerous secrets to discover, and that the control was so tight. It's become one of my favorite platformers.

In my opinion, it took the great stuff that was developed in Super Mario Brothers 3 and added a little too much to it. I played it for a long time in the store, and it never interested me. Platformers need to have simple controls, but a wide variety of enemies and tricks to figure out in my opinion to be great. SMW had too much.

That's not to say that I didn't beat the game (it was a pack-in for my SNES). I did. But I've never gone back to it.

Donkey Kong Country was the best platformer on the system -- actually, probably DKC2 -- in my opinion, and that's the series that got me to beg for a SNES from my parents.

I assume your in the 1% catagory...\


Super Mario World - Best Mario Ever, end of story.

I was a Sega fangirl growing up

o, halo thar

For me, SMW was...well, I saw a friend playing it some back in the day and was pretty legitimately blown away, but now I can't really seem to get into it. I'll have to spend more time.

SMW II: Yoshi's Island is a good deal of fun, though. Too bad my battery's dead.

My favorite super mario bros next to SMB3. I still enjoy playing through the game to this day.

[Zenitram]

Favorite game of all time.

I'd get buried with it; holding it in my hands for all of eternity. :P

[kainemaxwell]

One the best Mario titles made, before Yoshi's Island. Took the improvements from SMB3 to the next level, literally.
