/vr/ - Retro Games

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but fuck it. I think most Mario games are bland and borderline boring. The only ones I like are Mario 2 US and Super Mario World 2... neither of which are *really* mario games. Oh and I like Super Mario RPG too... but again.. not really a Mario game...

>>3533795
And what qualifies as a Mario game? I mean... it's Mario.

>>3534373
forgot pic

Mario 2 for the Famicom Disk a best. Everything else is for casual plebians.

>>3534373
Mario games like your typical ones. Mario 1, 3, SMW, Mario land, etc. Regular red/green plumber action.

Mario 3, Mario RPG, and Mario Galaxy would probably be my top 3, though I like most of the platformers. I replay the 1st one a lot.

Super Mario Maker is a variable because it could be my favorite game one day, after a while sifting through the book mark website's traditional tag. Then the next day I'll find myself thinking the game is a mistake after another dozen unfinished garbage levels.

>remember Mario 3 being hard as a kid
>go back and replay it, every level, no warps
>died twice the entire game

You suck at video games as a kid
in other news, water is wet.

I just watched my nephew get wrecked in the super casual New Mario games that just hand out lives as if they were candy. It's kind of a fact of life that kids suck at games. Only difference is they won't get any better since the Super Guide is there to beat the level for them.

>>3534432
I wouldn't say I sucked. I mean, I was beating games like Solstice and Castlevania III at the same time. I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. I also remembered Mario 3 as being a lot bigger than it really was.

>>3534470
ok, I guess I should have said "your skills weren't as sharp", also yeah, those levels are crazy shorter than they seemed at the time.

But to be fair, my playstyle playing Mario then was more of an explration and curiosity mindset, when now, it's a "Beat the level as quickly as I can" mindset.

I like all of them besides 2. Original SMB3 is my favorite.

>>3534387
Yea, but most of Mario games don't even qualify to this category. Mario 2 US does though. I'd say it's fine since Mario is a naturally diverse franchise after all.

>>3534486
Well I don't like 1, J-2, 3, SMW, or M64. Maybe that's a better way to put it. Like the Mario sports games and I like Mario Party along with the ones I mentioned earlier.

>>3534507
I understand. I'm more fond of SMB1-3 and SMW myself, but I enjoy other games like Mario Tennis or the puzzles Dr.Mario and maybe Yoshi's Cookie. I thought SMRPG was great too, even if I'm not much into RPGs. I dislike Party. I simply don't get the hype about doing a bunch of gimicky minigames over and over.

Still, each one to its own.

SMW is a downgrade from SMB3 in every way

>>3536118
except level design and gameplay

>>3536136
80% of levels are made completely trivial because of how broken the cape and Yoshi are and the gameplay has less variety and less secrets to find.

>>3536139
>less secrets to find
smw is the first game with hidden exits

>>3536142
Having 2 end points to a level doesn't mean there's more stuff to find within the level itself. They somehow also managed to pull off having less exploration on the world map while including alternate routes because there is absolutely no interaction on the map whatsoever, compared to SMB3's which featured traps, roaming hammer bros., breakable obstacles, bonus games, etc.

People always give me flack for this but I don't give a fuck. Still my favorite port.

>It's a "SMW vs SMB3" episode
Guys, can we put down the torches and agree that they're both good games?

>>3536182
But SMW is a mediocre game and SMB3 is a masterpiece.

>>3534432
Why is that news?

>>3536180
Only real objective thing going for it is the levels but I feel you on this. I played the GBA aLttP first and perfer it over the original SNES version. I don't mind any of the advance games other than World

The first Super Mario Bros is far and away my favourite game. If you haven't done so, try 1CCing it without warps. It'll take a while, but one you do you'll feel like a master.

SMW, it's the one I end up replaying the most. Has the most satisfying gameplay, great non-linear world structure that lets you play the game in many different orders instead of arbitrary warps like in previous games.
I can understand people who prefer any of the other ones though. SMB1, 2 and 3 are all masterpieces, especially 3. In fact, SMB3 and SMW are tied for me.

>>3536574
What is 1CC exactly?

>>3536657
One continue clear.

>>3536657
1 credit completion.

>>3536216

>>3536665
Oh.
>>3536665

>>3536668
I meant to refer to >>3536664 the second time.

>>3536668
>>3536670
>>3536664
>>3536665

I'm confused, is it one credit or one continue?

Either way, I don't use continues when playing SMB1, I either turn off the game after game over, or I finish the game in one sitting.

>>3536694
>I'm confused, is it one credit or one continue?
As the person who said "1 credit" I think I was probably wrong. It was just an educated guess.

>>3536694
It's basically the same thing. Credits = continues in most arcade games.

>>3536702
Tempted to try a one credit run desu.
I've played the game enough that it shouldn't be impossible.

>>3536703
Ah, I thought credits were lives.
