This is objectively worse than 3. Aside from the save feature and yoshi, it was basically a step backwards. Less interesting levels, worlds, and power ups and the item save feature was idiotic. Instead of focusing on new gameplay, the only thing it tries to do is add idiotic "secrets" bullshit to extend the run time. World is definitely the black sheep of the series.

I once came across a hack that replaced all the sprites with SMB3 (all stars) sprites. I can't find it at all but I remember liking the art style a lot better.

Yep. World took no risks.

3 feels like they took some drugs in a good way. The raccoon statue itself has more soul than all of world.

It's not a black sheep in the slightest, but it's not as good as 3. None of the 2d Marios are as good as 3.

Nope. SMW is a way better game than SMB3.

>> No.6927741

Both are the greatest Mario games.
Although I'd also respect anyone who likes SMB1 or SMB2 better. All the retro mainline Mario games are GOAT:

It's the level design, that's all there is to it. World improved on the mechanics but level design is the biggest factor in whether a platformer is fun or not. Every level in 3 is memorable, while World is full of forgettable levels. In that sense, 3 was a fluke: no 2D Mario, before or after, managed to make its levels so unique. As third sequel to SMB1 it's great and improves in every way, it was just disappointing compared to SMB3 specifically. The modern '2D' Marios have the same problem; mechanically they've evolved, but the experience is less interesting.

World has memorable levels but it also has tons of forgettable levels. In contrast, every level in 3 is interesting.

SMB3 is peak Mario and the best 2D platformer ever made.

The controls. It has 2 frames of internal (not including TV lag etc) input lag more than Mario 3 did. It always felt a bit sloppy but nobody could tell why until we got emulators and now we know exactly why.

If it were "objectively" worse, you wouldn't be trying to convince us of it.

It's a lot objectively worse, but in fairness when they reached the perfection of Super Mario 3 there was nowhere to go except down. It's a pretty good game, but you'd have to be crazy to claim it's as good as SMB 3 which is one of the all time greatest games ever.

What item save feature?

>> No.6930976

They began experimenting with the game design, introducing more non-linearity into both the overworld and actual level designs, made more puzzle based maps, and the level designs weren't as hard

Half of what makes it so damn easy is the backtracking and amount of levels that throw you lives

>> No.6931013

SMB3 is the best 2d Mario, true, but all the others are fine.

Same goes for Galaxy and 3d Mario games.

3 is better. But this game isn’t awful, just feels like it missed some potential.
