/vr/ - Retro Games

As I kid I always like smw more because yoshi, and the secrets were cool.
But going back to smb3 shows that it has much better level design, and actually scales up the difficulty.

Basically in smw, every level was made to be memorable and have some sort of gimmick, while throwing difficulty out the window in favor of secrets.
Meanwhile smb3 plays like a normal game that slowly tests your mario skills to prepare you for the later levels.

I can beat smw with my hands behind my back and end up with like 70 lives. smb3 takes effort and honestly is the better game.
