/vr/ - Retro Games

I like it, even if it's ridiculous. It's satisfying to beat SMB1, so I do plan to beat SMB2 someday.

I voted SMB3. I would take 64 next over World for the novelty (and advancement) to 3D.

I feel that Super Mario World should be the best of the 2D platformers, but it doesn't hold up with me. The added features don't really push the skill and learning curve even when they're at their limit in the Star Road final stretch. Am I a faggot for wanting things utilitarian, when SMB3 introduced a flight mechanic with easy mastery and levels that challenged timing and navigation before SMW? Yeah, probably. The subjectivity lies in your preference for the feather or the leaf and how they feel to control.

I'll be more of a faggot and contrarian to say that Super Mario Bros. 2 (JP / Lost Levels) is underrated in the reason above of truly challenging players to their limit, within the coding limitations and feel of Super Mario Bros. But I acknowledge I'm wrong when such features as the purposeful warp pipes punishing you back to world sets is dumb. What I really like about the game is the idea that every trajectory of your move and jump within the levels is set up to fuck you over. That's funny to me, and in the end, it's still a wholesome and cute Mario game I like to imagine and daydream about.

Interested to hear your guys' thoughts about this. I never read any meaningful Mario level design and game-making discourse.
