NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>another falseflag smb vs smw thread
Both are great.

>>6639554
I prefer pic related

>>6639554
It feels like World actually scaled back shit from 3.

>>6639554
Disagree, I love both 3 and World. SMW is a little better IMO. Then things fell off the cliff. Mario fans have to depend on fan hacks because Yoshi's Island was such a letdown.

>>6639576
>>6639712
All three are great. And so is pic related.

Mario very fun.

SMW has worse level design, worse art design/style, worse/fewer powerups, worse music, worse enemies, and is generally easier. Only thing better is the boss fights and the secret challenge levels.

>>6639554
What the FUCK is with all these retarded SMW vs SMB3 threads lately? Fuck off

>>6641119
It's just a shitpost, usually two threads get posted at the same time with the other game being in the thumbnail for the other thread. It's no different than the "Post games you think to be overrated or have aged poorly" with Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VII, or Ocarina of Time in the OP, though those usually get deleted asap.

>>6639554
>far superior Super Mario World

bosses are super lame in both games, wished Nimtendo tried to be more creative with them like in Mario Madness

>>6641138
Its never going to catch on

>>6639554
Well, it isn't.

>>6641128
Why can't /v/edditors be permabanned?

>>6639554
I didn't like the first one, bought the NES because of 2, and 3 is the only game I still have.

Mario Madness carrying mechanic slowed the game down way too much though.

>>6641436
I can concede that, but both Mario 3 and World retained the ability to carry items, no reason why the bosses were so shit in comparison to Madness

Levels in Super Mario Bros 3 are shorter than in SMW. But it's because SMB3 doesn't have any dead air. Every screen is a challenge of some kind. Unlike in SMW where you have maybe five or so challenges in a level, the rest is a horizontal plane with not much going on. It's an incredibly short game once you take out the noise. Probably the idea was that longer levels = better, kind of like how open exploration games would have miles of empty space with nothing to do, other than serve as padding time between actually well-designed areas.

I'll take cherry picking for $500 Alec.

The core mario games will always be: Smb, Smw, Sm64.
Smb2 (both versions) are good and all, and Smb3 is great for a kid, but Smw was the first genuine improvement on the first one. Also, the events of 2 and 3 are not canon, where 1 and World, as well as 64, actually happened.

>>6642701
This is what I've been saying for years and that not many people talk about. SMW feels empty as fuck. SMB3 has shorter levels, but there are challenges all throughout.

>>6644465
You're delusional, like most SMWfags. The levels are mostly empty and there's also what the picture in >>6641132 showcases
Also, whether or not a game is canon doesn't matter.

>>6639554
>Decent game but it feels inferior to the masterpiece of 2D-platforming, Super Mario Bros 3.

>>6639554
Agreed. SMW is the game Shigsy wanted SMB 3 to be if it wasn’t for the hardware limitations of the NES.

>SMW is the game Shigsy wanted SMB 3 to be if it wasn’t for the hardware limitations of the NES.
So Shigeru wanted his game to be like >>6641132 and >>6642701 which later installments of the Mario series replicated?
I would call that a suicidal move of our Shigsy...

>>6645519
take your meds

>>6644723
antiquated game that feels like it's a generation behind, novel effects and sprite sizes are a show of system power but it does little else to improve the formula, and in ways is a step back.

Imagine being this obsessed.

>>6645528
Yeah SMB3 sucked

>>6645528
>Indirectly describes what the Genesis Sonic games are.
No wonder Nintendo won that infamous console war.

>>6645641
even just looking at that screenshot is fun. Man what a great game.

>>6645641
Nintoddlers can suck my ass

>>6645641

SMB3 controls are much better

smw is shit without romhacks

3>SMB Deluxe>SMW

>>6641132
This comparison chart doesn't become less of a cherypicked mess the more you post it

SMB3 is far more impressive technically given that it’s on the same system as the first one, but I feel like SMW captured the feeling of playing a cartoon on a cartridge so effectively that I can’t help but prefer it. Something about it’s aesthetics and controls just keep it feeling a bit more bouncy and alive than 3, which can’t help but feel sort of unnaturally stiff at times due to the NES’ limitations.

>>6641114
Agree on all points, and I love both. SMB3 gets *really* difficult in places, which makes the replayability higher. I can beat SMW drunk at an arcade bar.

>>6639554
SMB3 had way more development time behind it and was released later into its system's lifespan.

SMW was a launch title that was rushed to market. It's still great in spite of that.

Super Mario Bros. 3 was just a tech demo for Super Mario World. Everyone knows that my man.

>>6639554
SMW is a worse game in every way.
