Bitch, no one called them "compilations" until like five years ago, stop insisting on made-up, not-retro buzzwords.

There are a lot of Hammer Bros. in SMB3. I can't find an exact count, for some reason, but I'm pretty sure that if you save all your stars for when you encounter them, you just about break even.

That's far from "almost always pointless."

I love them both equally, and find it hard to compare. I will say that SMW made you feel like you were in a bigger world than SMB3, though, and was a very different game in that it was the first in the franchise where you were expected to play the same level more than once after completing it (which, notably, was literally impossible in SMB3).

It was like a mash-up between the gameplay of Mario and the map-questing of Zelda.

And it gave us Yoshi, who is sort of like a meta-power-up with its own weird digestive inventory...

So yeah - I think you sound like a disingenuous prat, no offense. This is probably just me being old, though.

>It sounds like you're reticent to criticize anything that's modern in fear of being labeled the "old man who yells at the cloud."

Lol; first of all, it's just "cloud."

Second of all, I'm not reticent to criticize contemporary games. I don't play most of them. I'm baffled by people who spend all day on Pub-G or Fortnite, but mainly because I just get bored getting taken out by players who are far more skilled than I at FPS mechanics.

I spent about three solid months in Skyrim, though, and at least as long in Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4.

To me, it's about the same thing as Virtual Reality (with which I have had little experience, albeit), because I become so immersed in the digital environment that I lose myself completely to imagination.

But I did that with Super Mario Bros. and Kid Icarus to nearly the same degree, so maybe it's more of a question of imagination than it is technology; I dunno.

You're falling for a meme here.
