Super Mario Bros 3 is the best 2D platformer in my opinion. What do you think? If you think world is better, you are wrong.
>>728989718I think yoshis island is better than both
Sonic 3 & Knuckles, bar none.Eat your heart out, Yoshi's Island.
>>728989825>>728989842valid picks, I think you’re wrong but I respect the choices
>>728989718I think World is better, but just slightly. >>728989825I've only completed it once, but I can agree it's a better platformer, but not a better Mario game. It's replay-ability is down the drain for me. Getting 100% each level is such a chore in the game. Each level is pretty long, full of secrets, and getting everything, especially in the longer and harder levels will lead you to replaying them many, many times. As an oldfag, I'd rate SMB>SMW>SMW for 2D platformers.>pic related>my Mario games
World 3 (water level) was so trash I quit playingSMW Forest of Illusion was also so trash I quitI even finished SMB2j, and while I think these later games are "better" I enjoyed original SMB and SMB2J better.

When it came out it, this was undisputed. I played it back in 1986 when I was four, and instantly became obsessed with video games because of it. But after SMB3, SMW and SM64 came out it's appreciation fell along the wayside. It's importance didn't, as it was still listed near the top of all best game lists when those newer Mario games came out, but because those newer games improved and added so many things, SMB1 felt obsolete. The controls were stiff and unforgiving with your jumps. You could easily jump from SMW and SMB3 and be fine with the controls, but going back to SMB took some getting used to. The game was just smaller, more linear and had less variety. All fair criticisms compared to the newer games, but I still think it's better.
>>728991117Why? Even though it's simpler, EVERYTHING in the game mattered. You wanted to find every hidden 1 up, every powerup, every shortcut, every bonus room, every coin because you NEEDED them. You couldn't go back and stock up items, you could only go forward. The game was hard especially towards the end and you needed all those if you wanted to beat the game. In newer Mario games the coins and lives are pretty much trivial. Powerups are plentiful. Secrets are fun to find, but are ultimately meaningless if they don't make the game easier by finding them. This is why I love SMB so much, and think it's STILL the best Mario game. I used to be able to speedrun the game and get to the second loop for even more of a challenge. Another reason why this game is so good and a feature sorely missing from amazing games like SMW that could use a hard mode. I tried playing it again a few months back and only made it to World 6. Second time I made it to 8-3, then the third time I finally beat the game, barely. This was the first time in over a decade and I was not expecting to like the game that much. After that I came to the clarity that it offers so much more than I originally thought, and it took playing through all the other 2D Mario games, including 100% on SMBW to come to this conclusion.
Spelunky 2 is the best game ever made
>>728989997Nice map.
>>728991247Thanks. I got it from the artist at PRGE in 2024. Normally I wouldn't buy and display something like this, but it was so well done, creative and it's one of my favorite games. I just had to get it.
>>728989842I prefer Mania, but 3 is a close second
>>728989718I can't respect a game that squanders it's best feature
>>728989718you mean Mariolikes?
I'll break up the Mario-Sonic circlejerk with INDIESThe 2 best of the 21st century: Celeste and Terraria>CelesteMaddy Thorson spent decades mastering platformer development and inspired Super Meat Boy and other indies with games like Untitled Story in the early 2000s and it shows>TerrariaRedigit worked on the original Super Mario Maker (Super Mario Bros. X) before Terraria and he mastered the fundamentals of a solid platformer before releasing his survival crafting game which is now one of the best-selling games of all time
>>728992307
>>728989718Unironically Mario Wonder.
>>728992307>CelesteShiggy's hidden gem!
>>728989825I will never play it again because I heard baby Mario "WAAAH" so many times that it now gives me a rage response. Penalising the player with an annoying noise was a terrible design choice.
>>728992307Are we getting bot Chat Gpt posts?An untitled story was made by someone else
>>728992464>An untitled story was made by someone elseBy whom?
>>728992429Its not the baby its the red below ten seconds counter that sucks cock.
>>728992485Forgive me I looked it up and I was wrong and suck cocks
>>728992621It's okay. We all slip up sometimes.
For me, it's megaman. Either 2 or X, but I remember 2 far more so I'm picking that due to how memorable it is
>>728992429>>728992518Actual babies, can't handle a platformer that works even a little differently kek
>>728989997Based Mariochad.
>>728992721Yoshis Island is the best platformer, dont get me wrong.
>>728992721Another issue is that Yoshi was retroactively ruined by Yoshi's Story and his characterisation in other games. Nintendo made Yoshi gay, and I don't like him anymore.
>>728992380Ain't no point to it
>>728992979Agreed. I hate yoshis gay babby voice, I hate the ear grating eat asshole song, I hate that they hate grey colouring, fuck Nu-yoshi.
I am convinced that no one in this thread has ever played the video games they're yapping about. You're just parroting shit you've heard from on youtube or some pleb streamers.Prove me wrong.
>>728991212these are my thoughts exactly, great post.
>>728989718Mario 3 is good, but S3&K is better.Every SNES DKC game is better, too.
>>728989718Uncslop
