yoshi island obviously. a game made with heart
all the other ones are just shitty broken adventures. lot of warps and cheats and shit to break the challenge. never forget the day i played mario world "for the sake of trying my abilities"... and ended up reaching bowser fortress in mere 5-10 mins, like wtf, i just wanted to test my honest platforming sklls (yeah, that includes entering bonus levels a.k.a star world) , not to break the fucing game's challenge. the other games are not that different
to mario 2 is not even a real honest mario

yoshi island is the only heartful and honest adventure. plus lot of charm and kino soundtrack (instead of being shitty leitmotif re-used all over again)

Been replaying all of them recently, all of them fun as fuck, also SMB2J.
My vote goes to World, overall has the best controls and physics for me.
Yoshi's Island feels more like its own game, doesn't follow Mario rules closely despite being related, but likewise I consider YI to be on par with the main Mario games in quality

It seems like you're OP trying to falseflag badly.
I wouldn't be surprised if you'e Anti-Island kun.

>>7072735
Yoshi's Island > 3 > world = 2 > 1

>Super Mario World. Super Mario Bros. 3 is in a close second place.
The more I read that the less real is seems, bros.

>>7072751

op >>7072735 is 1
>>7072740 2
>>7072742 3
and >>7072748 4

>>7072748
>SMW is only about getting into Bowser's Castle
Based retard.

>>7072751
Thats not me senpai.

>>7072760
dont blame me for the game being fucking broken

i just wanted to test my max platform abilities. not a speedrun, just a sonic-like playthrough, but just one "playing around with danger", that meant, defying obstacles for fun's sake
logically that leads me to shortcuts
and star world
and bowser castle
in mere minutes

fucking shit. that means that if you're a pro at it, you'll just break the game
you end up in shortcuts and warp ship
who the fuck thought warps were a good idea anyway??? what is the fucking point?

>>7072770
>warp ship
(that sounds cool actually)
warp shit*

number 3 is the biggest masterpiece, but 1 and Lost Levels have the most challenge

>>7072782
*Biggest mistake

>>7072770
you can't just try your reflexes and skills and enjoy the thrill of honest challenge without ending up skipping the whole game

the reward of bonus levels
are not points. are not extra lives. are not some cool and fun object that you'll carry in the adventure - nope, not at all, your reward are just blatant warps

>>7072735
World=3>Yoshi>1>2

>>7072735
1 > 2 > W > 3
Fuck autoscrollers.

For me personally, it's 3=SMW>YI>1>2US>2JP.
Many people argue over SMW being better than 3 and vice versa but if you ask me both have their strengths and weaknesses. Power-ups go to Mario 3 by far for the variety though cape feather definitely edges out tanooki leaf in terms of versatility and amount of fun to use, at least for me. Level design and control go to world for me just because it's what I'm most familiar with. Challenge though goes to Mario 3. I like a game that can put up a bit of a fight and Mario 3 definitely scratches that itch for me. Certainly doesn't scratch it as hard as something like Ninja Gaiden or Castlevania does, but it's satisfying nonetheless. The secrets are a toss up in my eyes. I love the warp whistles and other special items you can get in Mario 3 just as much as I love Star Road and the Special World. Yoshi's Island is great. Lots of charm in its art style and the level variety is very fun. The transformations keep the gameplay unique and the levels memorable and I enjoyed all of the new enemies it brought to the table as well as the boss battles with Naval Piranha being a personal favorite simply because I love Piranha Plant variations like Lava Piranha from Paper Mario and Megasmilax from SMRPG. Nothing tops Petey for me though. Mario 1's in the middle partially from respect of the legacy and partially because it's a quality game. The innovations it made are commendable and the game is very fun, but compared to later entries it's kinda weak, though I can't really knock it for that since it's literally the first entry. As a foundation for the rest of the series to be built on, it's rock fucking solid. Excellent game.

Cont.
Mario 2 US is fun to me, but not terribly interesting. It's a good game, no doubt about it, but for me it's a bit too much of a departure from the norm. Great game, but not too mario-like. Mario 2 JP is the only game I don't like a whole lot. I can appreciate it the same way I can appreciate a carefully crafted troll game. The traps are quite clever with how they abuse your knowledge and expectations from Mario 1 and outsmarting the game feels good, but it's just too hard for me. You can sace state, but if little Japanese kids from the 80s can do it the a grown man in current year w/ the internet can too.

>>7072735
I Played the first three recently and would rank them like so:
3>1>2
All of them are still good, but I dislike some mechanics in 2, maybe I will grow to like it more eventually.

3 > 2 > World > 1 > getting kicked in the dick > Yoshi's Island

>>7072735
World>2>1>3
World and 2 are closer than many people realize

>>7072735
Super Mario World, obviously.

Lost Levels > 1 > 3 > Madness > World

>>7072959
I agree with you on this.

World is the one I have nostalgia for, so of course it's the best.

>>7072742
bitter contrarian opinion

>>7072735
2 US

3 is best
world is ugly and too easy

>>7073104
How is world ugly when it has way more colors and better graphics than 3. The color in 3 is Microsoft paint level

>>7073174
>How is world ugly
its the ugliest 2d mario

>>7073249
That image embodies why I dislike those new super mario games so much.

>>7073249
World ruined the Goomba design. The fuck were they thinking?

>>7073269
That's a Galoomba, dude.
It's a sub-species.

>>7072735
3 is the best

>>7072735
I feel 1,2,3 and Super Mario World are all amazing and find it hard to rate one as best. But if I had to rank them it would go 3 > 2 > 1 > SMW

Yoshis Island shouldn't be mentioned with these great games. Everyone praising it are only exposing themselves as Zoomers.

>>7072735
SMW because it is pretty much an improved version of SMB3, the issue with smb3 is the saving, because it didn't have battery save it forced them to do certain things. If you play the first 3 on all stars it just doesn't feel right with the saving, makes it too easy.

With Yossy's Island you could make the argument that its not really a platform game, more like a puzzle game and a bit of shooter. I haven't finished it so I don't know if its better but it has really nice bosses and those giant creatures look really nice.

It has a mad final battle. But I agree with you that it shouldn't be categorized with the other Marios. It's not a very good platformer overall.

>>7073273
that's a retcon

>>7073482
Nah they were originally called kuribon (instead of kuribo) in the original japanese. Anyway, ignore anti-allstarskun's collages.

>>7072820
Autoscrollers are bad but having to guess which path is the right path through trial and error is good level design.

3 in my opinion, but you can go either way, what I am sure of is that all of them are really amazing games and no mario game after these ever came close to being as good as they are, none of the 2D ones and none of the 3D ones

>>7072770
All of the 2D Mario games have shortcuts that allow you to skip to the last world.
I guess they thought little Timmy might not be able to get to the end but let's give him the chance to play the last world anyway.

>>7072735
World > 3 > Island > 1 > 2

>>7073702
64, sunshine and both galaxy games are better than 1 and 2

>>7072735
Super Mario Bros 3>Yoshi's Island>Super Mario Bros 2>Super Mario Bros>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Super Mario World

SMW is overhyped to hell

>>7074149
SMW has the best controls for a 16bit game. If you can name better go ahead.

>>7074139
Sunshines awful.

>>7074094
yeah, fucking dishonest
funny this comes from the guys who created super mario world 2 and thought it would be so hard for western kids

>>7072760
He is free from the shackles of actually having to complete the game. That retard is more ascended than we could ever hope to be.

>>7074168
Nah, it's fun. I quite like it.

Explain the Yoshi Island hate.
Is one guy right?

>>7072735
u forgot 1

>>7074305
One guy that then became a meme combined with people who also aren't really a fan of it feeling validated and getting annoying about their dislike because this site is a cesspool filled with 12 year olds.

>>7074312
Maryo is p gud but Super Tux 2 (plus the user-contrib worlds) beats it hands down

>>7074312
Harvest Moon?

>>7074305
its a gimmickly pile of shit with bad platforming

>>7072735
Yoshi's Island isn't a mario game its a yoshi game.

>>7074305
/vr/ cant warp to further levels

>>7075043
Kids like that stuff because they want the novelty of playing something once and then ignoring it for ten years.

The boss fights and castles in Yoshi's island are what set it apart, they're actually good instead of of having artificial difficulty instant death pits (world) or being the same thing 8 times.

3>!>YI>W>2
World probably has the most interesting mechanics, but the actual platforming in the vanilla game is boring as shit. There's only like 3-4 interesting levels in the whole game. 3 has the best combo of challenge and variety

>>7072735
Mario 3 /thread

1 = 2(JP) > 3 = World > 2(USA) = Yoshi's Island

>>7075076
>artificial difficulty instant death pits
Faggot

>>7072735
1. The rest never should have existed.

SMW is the most nostalgic to me but SMB2(US) is the best one overall. Right amount of difficulty, level design, etc.
SMB3 has a lot of useless content and it falls slightly lower than World.

>>7074139
They're not bad games, but no, no they are not, maybe they're "bigger" than 1 and 2, but in terms of objective quality? No
