Strange, to me dkc (especially 2) was the gold standard for making a game fun to 100%. All the collectibles are placed is a neat path and flow with the fastest route through a level. I like the returns game but too often the answer is 'go left for secret'. If I had to nominate a game for being less fun to 100% I'd say yoshis island. Its astonishing how anti fun trying to fully clear even a single levels is compared to the base game. Who wants to run a level multiple times just because you missed a single slightly different coloured coin? Or because you got hit once trying to grab that coin? Or because you missed the window to grab it? God its so awful.

I could tell at first glance.

the best SNES game and 2D platformer, brushed over for all the wrong reasons!

Be honest, at what point did you get bored and stop playing?

>in the last world of the game
>the cheerful music from the first levels is still playing

did they not think to put more songs in this?

A classic example of 90's humor...

is it that implausible that two companies could have been working on colorful platformers with projectile mechanics in 1993

Why isn't this considered a collectathon? Finding 5 flowers, 20 red coins, and 30 stars in every level for full completion is boring as hell.

It's not impossibly hard to 100% or anything but the gap between just beating it and 100% is pretty massive.

This game convinced me that video games can be more than just entertaining, but genuinely beautiful as well.

Worst sequel ever. What the FUCK were they thinking? Wish SMW2 had been a real Mario game instead of a shitty Yoshi spin-off.

Out of my way best Mario game coming through no fags allowed

thoughts? grew up with this game, is it as good as my brain tells me it is?

'95 boys represent
I'm actually trying to play through all the games released this year (or at least as much as I can) in order to answer this very question. Here's what I've played through and beaten so far:
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (9/10)
Comix Zone (8/10)
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (8/10)
Earthworm Jim 2 (8/10)
Vectorman (7/10)
Mega Man 7 (7/10)
Street Fighter Alpha: Warriors' Dreams (7/10)
The King of Fighers '95 (7/10)
Ristar (6/10)
Mega Man X3 (6/10)
Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory (6/10)
Kirby's Dream Land 2 (6/10)
Donkey Kong Land (4/10)

I thought Ristar was okay, but the movement is a little too slow for me to fully enjoy it, and there were some frustrating levels.
Rayman is what I happen to be playing through right now, and I'm kinda getting my ass kicked. I have a policy against using cheats or save states, so the 99 lives are off the table for me. That said, this is the first game that's making me regret having that policy a little bit. Honestly, every time I think I've beaten what I think must be the hardest game of 1995, an even tougher one like this comes along. I won't allow it to filter me, though, because I'm still enjoying myself with it.

Just played through to the end of this GOAT for the first time. Probably the greatest 2D platformer ever created in my objective opinion. You will not find a better one.

The best.

Thoughts, /vr/? do you like its shift to focus on exploration?

>Shiggy thought *THIS* would be a good sequel to the amazing Super Mario World

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING??
Worst fucking Mario game I have ever played.
