>You will not find a better one.
Found one with better platforming.

>>7365224
Throwing eggs mechanic is garbage and Yoshi is a shitty character. This tarnishes the Super Mario World franchise.

>>7365224
Yoshi's Island isn't even the best platformer on its own console let alone best ever.

>>7365224
Yoshi's Island sucks. Sonic & Knuckles 3 is way better.

>>7365224
I can, like the first SMW

>>7365224
I genuinely preferred the first Super Mario World, the levels are too expansive and cut up funky in some of the levels in Yoshi's Island.
>>7365252
I think the DKC series platforming feels c. . . off, and I can't put my finger on why. It doesn't feel as precise as SMW.

>>7365269
I prefer DKC level design over SMW.

>>7365224
JK JK ALL THE OTHER POSTS IN THIS THREAD WERE ME ACTING LIKE A RETARD.
I also recently played through and 100%d the game blind after sitting on a half completed file for like 3 years (didn't look up secret area locations leik a F E G G I T. Yoshi's Island fucking rules inside and out. Awesome music, graphics, levels and controls. Game is sweet as hell.

>>7365224
it's need but there are better

i like that new people are playing yoshis island
same with kirbys dreamland trilogy and star control 2

good games I like that are finding new fans

The baby crying ruins it

>>7365707
>The baby crying ruins it

>>7365707
I feel the same, to the point where it made it unplayable for me, thankfully there is a romhack that removes it, but it keeps the beeping noise.

>>7365767

>>7365767

Then stop being trash at the game and getting hit.

These have no place on that list. And DK's graphics looks like the back of my balls in comparison to timeless art of YI.

stopped reading right there, anyone that likes that toddler game has no adult opinion
the game can be beat in an hour

>>7366068
Created a world of cool rom hacks tho

Dk 94 and mario vs donkey waffle stomp this panzy ass game.

>>7366374
You will never be female.

>>7365224
I go back and forth on this one. I beat this game long ago. Since then, I’ve finally beaten Mario World and Mario 3. Now I’m not so sure Yoshi’s Island is great, but it definitely has the best bosses.

>>7365253
*Sonic spinball

>>7366068
That toddler game has the tightest controls of any 16bit game. Has the best romhacks too.

>>7366385
>Still coping from getting hit on an easy-mode platformer

>Emufags...
It removes said thing you "supposedly" don't like, and you have the audacity to insult it. Fucking useless crap basket, youre just a complainer. We got enough of you people around here. I have a solution, kys.

>>7366407
>Fucking useless crap basket, youre just a complainer.

Irony.

>>7366409
No, see i offered you a solution to your problem, but youll just keep trudging along mindlessly... Like a child at an old folks home.

>>7366420
>No, see i offered you a solution to your problem

>>7365754

>>7365224
It's fantastic, love the guaranteed (cope) as well.

>>7365269
That's because it isn't. Mechanically, DKC trilogy are among the sloppiest platformers of their generation, the hitboxes are bad, the edge detection is crazy, you can even roll straight off an edge and still jump. They made up for it with good level design and stellar music.

>>7366824
> you can even roll straight off an edge and still jump

I think this is an intendend mechanic. It's clearly not an edge detection bug as the game knows you're falling (and you can jump after you start falling)

>>7366364
>>7365783
>>7365754
Yoshi's Island would be a better game if it just had one-hit deaths. You are pathetic and not even as hardline 'git gud' as I am.
Improve thyself.

>>7365952
>putting more than 2 of those games above Kirby Super Star

Wow retards on 4chan, who knew?

>>7366834
>if it just had one-hit deaths
what are the spikes and lava pit falls? It's also meant to be a collectathon and targeted at completionists so it really is a one hit death if your not careful

>>7366998
>what are the spikes and lava pit falls?
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm sure he didn't know about those.
> It's also meant to be a collectathon and targeted at completionists so it really is a one hit death if your not careful
It's gameplay is average at best and not a very good platformer. Like an Anon pointed out earlier all it has going for it is its boss battles.

>>7366147
wow you sure showed him

>>7365224
>Probably the greatest 2D platformer ever created in my objective opinion
The game absolutely sucks as a platformer, it's just a lame collectathon.

>>7365224
Based, it really is the best.

>>7365224
Cringe, it really is the worst.

>>7365224
Kek. Enjoy 3-Bonus.

>>7365952
I haven't played half of these, but you'd have to be a xoomer to not realize that KDL3 is better than KSS.

>>7366326
Have fun with actual kids, bitch.

>>7365224
Let's be real, love it or hate it, none of us used the special pause menu items.

>>7367738
Honestly, I didn't realize they were there till halfway through the game and would forget about them even after I realized it.

>>7367738
>used the special pause menu items.
i played the entire game and im literally just now finding out about this

>>7366824
DKC2 hitboxes are something else man
(snake is hit in pic 2)

>>7367738
The what?

>>7365224
some levels drag a little too much, can be pretty annoying when you're trying to 100% it and then at the very end you realize you missed one of the red coins or flowers

>>7365964

Shit game, shit series, Miyamoto fucked up.

>>7365224
What's the differences between the GBA version and the SNES one? I had the GBA one as a kid cause I'm a zoomie.

>>7368491

>>7368521
Nope, he's absolutely 100% correct. I've had more fun with Sonic & Knuckles 3 than Yoshi's Island.

>>7368491
>Sonic game

Lazy reply. You must also think jump scares are the height of horror cinema.

>"Man this game is nice and all but I don't see why they had to add a special controller that shocks you when you get hit. I'm just gonna use a regular one."
>"Only casuals don't like being electrocuted gitgud"

Feces is an acquired taste, as you've demonstrated

>>7369052
>Lazy reply.

Yet true as will ever be to avoid a mechanic imposed to enforce the player to restore the status quo.

>>7365224

>>7368369
>no item storage
Ever paused the game?
>no coin counter
Again, ever paused the game? It's supposed to be a clean UI
>no traditional score
Did it make a difference in SMW?
>barely any powerups (hurr you can transform into a vehicle!)
Mario star, Watermelons
>shit collectathon in every single level
Only if you want 100% completion
>no overworld like in SMW, so almost no secret exits or sense of discovery
you can have the 'no overworld' one, not a fan of the maps and files design
1/10 bait, try harder next time

>>7368372
SNES one had a slight edge with the music and visual effects, mostly on warping effects, like Kamek's magic dust and the touch fuzzy effect. Also no reward for getting full points on all the secret stages, just some stars on the title screen.

Other than that and the Yoshi sound bytes, pretty much nothing.

>>7370167
>1/10 bait
I don't give a fuck about the coin counter or any of that shit. Yoshis Island main problem is its a fucking piece of shit platformer. Much slower than every Mario game before it. Having Mario in its title is a joke.

Is /vr/ just /v/ now?

>>7365253
>Sonic & Knuckles 3
Garbage, nowhere near as good as Yoshi's Island, and a massive step down from Sonic 2.

>>7371312
Yes. And the mods knew it would be before changing the rules.

>>7365224
why is it that this is not an e-shop? at least it isn't for the Wii U. only the GBA version is.

is the GBA version worth playing?

>>7365224
Top 10 platformer for me, easily. Mega Man Zero 4 ranks up there too.
>>7371961
Yeah, its fine on GBA

>>7371376
You're delusional and full of shit. Sonic & Knuckles 3 was far more fun and exciting. It has better music, better graphics that doesn't look like it was drawn with crayons, better game play(especially playing as Knuckles) and it has replay value. I've tried Yoshi's Island on my SNES Mini and it's just not that engaging.

>>7365224
The game is fantastic. I wish Nintendo would go back to making games that are visually state-of-the-art.

>>7371961
>why is it that this is not an e-shop?
because Nintendo is retarded when it comes to anything to do with the internet, also they hate making fans happy and making money

>>7365224
S3&K is unironically the better game

>>7372081
>t.
We know you play that trash everyday segatard

>>7368369
>no traditional score
who the FUCK cares about score in mario

The egg throwing mechanic alone makes me not want to play it

>>7365224
lmao, this absurdly slow paced slog is a million miles away from being a true masterpiece like Mario 3 or Mega Man X

>>7365252
Based and DKpilled.

>>7365224
it would have been better received if they didn't include mario at all and made it its own thing. Maybe having you carry a Yoshi baby around and removing the anoying crying for something more charming. Naming it SMW 2 was stupid as fuck and set the game up for backlash

>>7373164
t. triggered nincel

>>7373928
and the best part of the game is when they make you control super baby mario

>>7374057
go beat soinic again captain autismo

>>7368369
>>7373331
You probably missed that Metallica-sounding Bowser boss music then.

>>7370067
I'm fairly certain getting hit inherently "enforces the player to restore the status quo" (lol); You don't require a baby crying to get the message across that being hit is a bad thing. It's kind of the biggest video game trope in existence. Your self-aggrandizing lexicon denotes your assuredness despite being mere bloviating; Your argument would be appropriately suited being phrased "bad noise make player want not make mistake"

>>7374863
Poor child has two awful parents.

And Yoshis Island shit the bed when it comes to gameplay.

>>7374097
Go beat it off to Yoshi's Island, faggot.

>>7374863
Git gud faggot.

>>7374863
>mere bloviating
Irony.

>>7366976
>>7365952
Kirby SS at 3rd-to-last place is still too high. I'd put Super GnG near the top, all of the Mega Man games are better than both Kirbys, so is Lost Vikings, and so is Out of this World, Sparkster, Demon's Crest, Umihara Kawase, and Actraiser if you count those as platformers

>>7375330

>Mega Man and GnG

Didn't include them because they prioritise shooting elements as opposed to pure platforming. Even putting Castlevania on there doesn't feel right.

I forgot to include Super Adventure Island though. Great game and great soundtrack.

>>7366068
>the game can be beat in an hour
You're on a board for fucking retro games. Christ.

>>7366831
IIRC there are parts of the game where you're lead into doing this with banana trails and rewards

>>7374934
It's terrible how hilarious it is. Yoshi's Island might be tolerable if you're fucked up or don't respect your own time, considering it's a mediocre romp.
>>7375145
I've never complained about the difficulty, you're the one pretending fkn Yoshi's Adorable Romp for Tyler Stevenson Age 7 is difficult.
>>7375152
>what is satire
Swingannamiss. Why are random idiots pretending like they're able to talk to specific people on an anonymous forum, again? Either talk about games you actually care about so you can have meaningful things to say and discuss, or shitpost for attention. It's not like it makes a difference to y'all apparently

>>7366831
It is intended. They literally said so in former GameXplain interviews. Also there's banana trails that lead you to doing it.

>>7376391
Theres plenty of mystery bonus barrels that require jumping blind into bottomless pits. Still my 2nd favourite rare game.

Why did Yoshi do to trigger this faggot so hard?

>>7365252
You call Yoshi's Island shit and then post a platformer that's just as shitty.

>>7376969
Another mediocre game.

>>7375424
and?

why are there so many tryhard contrarians so desperate to shit on popular games? I think I've seen literally every popular game from every genre shat on here, and for no reason

>>7377572
Classic vidya, at least the ones on cartridge, can generally be beaten in about an hour if you know what you're doing. If you can personally do that it's because you enjoy the game enough to become familiar with it. For example, Mirror's Edge is quite short for a modern game and yet it is still fun, some even choose to speedrun it. The length of a game, nor its difficulty, can determine how a person enjoys playing the game itself. You can have a game which is hard, and you can have a game that is long, but if the gameplay isn't fun, then the entire game is just a waste of your time.

I'll put it another way: If you actually liked classic vidya you should already know all of this.

>>7374769
By score they mean points, moron.

>>7377587
>tryhard contrarians
>4chan
It's idiots trying to shift cultural paradigms to feel important rather than simply playing and discussing retro because they enjoy it

>>7365224
This game is awful.

>>7365224
The game is excellent but you obviously don't have much experience when it comes to vidya. There are far better contenders for the "greatest 2D platformer ever" title, e.g. Wario Land 2 and Skullmonkeys.

>>7378297
Every Mario game before it is better. Even the game boy Mario's. Zoomers and Nintendrones are the only one hyping this piece of shit because of its graphics and music.

>>7367990
Oh shit! Get him, anons!

It's on Nintendo. Australia-kun has a particular mental illness that prevents him from not having Nintendo inside of his mind.

>>7383248
Yeah
Same reason the Barney game on Genesis isn't anyone to care about, like what's the point
Did you have an argument?

>>7365224
one of my favorites since i was a kid. definitely my favorite artstyle

>>7365224
Platforming takes a backseat to collecting though...

>>7382962
World is a better platformer than Yoshis Island.

>>7385465
Not even close. Yoshi feels heavier, like Donkey Kong, while Mario is more nimble. That’s all. Yoshi’s level designs are the best Nintendo has ever produced on the SNES.

>>7385504
The levels are pretty boring yoshi is a lot more fun in the main series

>>7385508
Do you try to get a 100 points on each level? Because if not, yeah, I could see how you would find it boring. But if you try to do well, it’s way more challenging and interesting than SMW. Nearly every level is memorable, meanwhile SMW blows its load on Yoshi’s Island (ironically) and then goes down in quality until you get to the Bowser’s secret island (and half of the forest).

>>7385528
The levels are slower and the gameplay is more linear. and it gets worse and worse with each sequence that nintendo releases

Nsmb that is influenced by yoshi island is more fun

>>7385539
They only play slower because Yoshi is slower and you’re supposed to explore. NSMB is really boring to me in comparison and the sequels of Yoshi’s Island (developed by Artoon, IIRC) didn’t quite understand what made the first game so special. They mostly reused ideas, so it fell into the same trap as NSMB which all feel and look the same. They even have the same world order for the most part. Yoshi shook things up and introduced new mechanics in nearly every level, on top of the levels having a logical flow to them that were more complex than “blocks floating in the sky”. All the bosses were unique and each world had even two of them. They put in a lot effort and passion into the game and it showed.

>>7385565
Mechanics don't have much substance and exploration is tedious

>>7385579
That’s like complaining about Super Metroid not being like Contra. Ignore the title of the game: it’s well designed and better than SMw

>>7385612

I just explained that the game has no substance, the design is pedestrian and tedious.

This is also true for almost all other Nintendo platformers not called mario

>>7385508
yoshi is in no more way more fun as a glorified power-up gimmick often having levels designed around him and forcing his use as progress

>>7386608
which is why yoshi games are more linear

>>7385465
World is a glorified SNES tech demo
I really do not comprehend how anyone praises World when SMB3 was released before it

>>7365224
One of my favorite games. I wish they added Yoshi Island in Mario Maker 2. Speaking of Mario Maker 2, post your well crafted levels.

>>7386957
>I really do not comprehend how anyone praises SMB3 after World was released
fixed

>>7388326
Nope
and your brain needs fixing

>>7386614
Yoshi's Wolly World was not a linear game, it had plenty optional path and many levels are like a maze.
It's the best modern Yoshi game out there.

>>7390456
My Wii U gamepad broke before I got the chance to buy Wolly World. I really want to play it someday.

It's sad that Crafted World looked so soulless.
