It mogs SMB2 and SMW and there is no contest. This is the thinking man's platformer.
>>12494571This is madness!
>>12494571I recently replayed both games and I find myself dissapointed with 3's bowser castle and how small it is compared to the soulful maze-like 2's wart castle. As a kid it was frustrating and confusing but as an adult it feels nice to play a somewhat convoluted experimental mario level.
>>12494571That's because it wasn't a Mario game.
>>12494603>"Did you know smb2 usa is actually not a mario game?" post #289345084290858That was already debunked tho. It originally was meant to be a Mario game, most of the staff that already worked on Mario were working on that game, it finally became Doki doki whatever and only on the west it came out as what it was supposed to be, another Mario game.
The thinking man's non-Mario...
>>12494612You're a liar.
>>12494656Yeah, and Hitler didn't kill himself. Sorry to burst your bubble that you thought you had some hidden knowledge going on.https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_Yume_K%C5%8Dj%C5%8D:_Doki_Doki_Panic_staff
>>12494571I wonder which Mario game actual plumbers prefer.
>>12494612>debunkedNever released, never finished, no one cares. Might as well say the finished product isn't a side scroller because it was originally intended to be a vertical stroller. Doki Doki Panic was the original game.
>>12494723Yeah, created by the same people that programmed, designed, composed and produced the OG Super Mario Bros., the same exact team that wanted it to be a Mario game in the first place. They could come out today, swap the sprites with DK characters and say "it was supposed/we want it to be a DK game" and it is a DK game. They're the minds behind the games, not you.
>>12494571I think it's more fun than Lost Levels, if anything because it was a different formula which changed things up a lot.Better than SMW? I'm not sure, and I really do mean that I'm uncertain, I couldn't say yes or no.
>>12494579Super Mario Bros had Bowser in a maze too.
>>12494736Just because the same programmers worked on it doesn't mean it was intended to be a Mario game all along. They rebranded a non-Mario game into a Mario game because it would print money easier.
>>12494746No, it had characters from a literally who show because of a deal they had with that particular studio at the time. They were paid to put those characters instead probably because back then the show had more influence/financial power or whatever in japan and they said sure why not. It was a different time. It was always meant to be a Mario game.
>>12494612DDP posting is unoriginal, but the actual finished and released game was nonetheless DDP, using the licensed characters, NOT Mario and pals.Even if there were thoughts that it'd be a Mario game initially, clearly that's not what happened, not until after the game was finished and released, and THEN they would start retooling it into a Mario game.>>12494746I think it's also a pretty significantly improved game over the original DDP release, beyond just rebranding.Trying the two side by side, SMB2 is just a better feeling and more fun game.
They should bring back vegetable pulling and throwing.
>>12494571>SMB2 mogs SMB2
>>12496562The Super Mario Bros 2 Japan got is a different game than the one we got. The Super Mario Bros 2 we got was originally a game called Doki Doki Panda and had nothing to do with Mario at all.
>"mogs"-posterKill yourself, this thread is of poor quality.
>>12494571True. There's nothing like making bitches eat their vegetables.
>>12497119I like pandas.
