nothing

It’s better than DKC.

>>8035062
Great production values, great ideas, serviceable innovation. It's a bit slow, but lots of fun

>>8035062
Great game but shouldn't be called 'Super Mario World 2'

>>8035062
best 2d mario game

>>8035086
Not really, but certainly the best 2d Mario game featuring Yoshi

>>8035062

everything

yoshis are pretty cute, bros

>>8035227
hahaha

nightmare to 100% so it filters normalfags

>>8035281
Normalfags dont obsessively go for 100%, which explains why it's mostly "gamers" (i.e. autists) the ones that have negative things to say about it. They even call it a collectathon even though you can ignore all that shit and still beat the game

>>8035071
You made me kek, have a (you)

This Yoshi game should never be called a Mario game

>>8035062
reminder that the only reason it was called super mario world 2 was for brand recognition

>>8035843
reminder the only reason he is called Mario is for brand recognition

One of the secret levels nearly drove me to insanity trying to 100% when I was a kid. Smashed the fuck out a controller and had to get a new one kek

It took the only good thing about Super Mario World and made an actually good game out of it that didn't have the stink of "launch title" written all over it's graphics, and was therefore one of the best looking games on the system.

Real shame that Yoshi Story is what set the standard for what all future Yoshi games would be instead of this.

>>8035886
>the only good thing about Super Mario World
you mean most things in Super Mario World?

it's not a bad game
not perfect, but not bad at all

>>8035069
This. Literally made out of spite because that jealous bitch Miyamoto couldn't stand being one-upped (get it, like a 1up mushroom? AHAHAH) by those filthy gaijin piggus with DKC.
>>8035105
>t. Miyamoto
Cringe.

Overrated game that tediously turned Mario into a boring collectathon. Also the fact that there's like 5 songs in the game is emarassing.

>>8035062
It mskes auster seethe

>>8036437
*makes

>>8035062
Worst Mario game up until that point.
>>8035071
Not even close.
>>8035325
Even if you ignore everything its still not a good platformer. Aiming eggs and chasing down a crying baby is the exact opposite of Sonic fast gameplay which was clearly the direction they needed to go in.

>>8036414
>>8036532
Stop calling this Yoshi game a Mario game you disingenuous shits.

>>8036532
The problem with that is, the SNES was too slow to handle Sonic-style gameplay, running at a mere 1/3rd the speed compared to the Mega Drive. Nintendo's dated hardware kept them lingering in the past, incapable of exploring the innovations being seen on better hardware.

>>8036132

Get back to work!
Yoshis nose won't model itself!

This game was great at the time, and a nice final hurrah from the snes as the psx was set to be released in the west. Saying it's bad is a meme, and saying the baby crying renders the game unplayable is also a meme

>>8036549
>disingenuous
The games name is Super Mario World 2. Does Mario 2 USA not count as Mario game as well?
>>8036556
Was there no way they could release a super super fx chip to increase the performance of the SNES giving more speed and sprites?

>>8035878
Was it Poochy Ain't Stupid or the last one in the last world? Those were insane to me. I couldn't even beat them, nor imagine 100% completing them.

>>8036568
Don't act like every single person to hear baby Mario crying wasn't instantly annoyed by it. It is bad when you look at its competition like dkc, earthworm Jim and Sonic.

Nintendo 2D scotformer definitive ranking:

1. Mario
2. Donkey Kong
-gap-
3. Wario
-gap-
4. Kirby
5. Yoshi

We get it australia, you have brain damage.

>>8036960
I thought the heart beeping in ALttP was a million times more annoying and unnecessary than Mario crying. Whoever did the playtesting for SNES era Nintendo was obviously deaf or a God gamer who literally never got hit.

>>8037123
Devs usually playtested their own games until about midway through Gen 4, which led to actual shit like this. I don't think these two games were victims of that though, just a poor choice.

>>8035325
This is true
I liked the game a lot more as a kid, when I didn't care about 100%ing the levels. Now that I feel obliged to do so, I can't even stand to play it past the third world or so.

>>8035891
Nope

>>8035062
Big N learned from Sonic.
>Sonics rings= Baby star countoudown
>Big expansive levels
>Searching levels for a certain # of rings and secret stage= getting 100 points and earning the extra stages
>Creative boss fights
>Challenging final boss
>No run button

Nintendo finally admitted Sonic was better and made a game that emulated it, and did a damn fine job.

>>8035886
best opinion itt.

>>8037632
>and did a darn fine job
That's a lie. No one who owned Sonic 2 was going to be jealous of Yosbis Island.

Yoshi's Island is literally MK Ultra programming. Listening to crying baby sounds for too long is proven to have bad effects on the brain.

>>8037753
Noooo. Collecting crying Mario is the same as collecting rings in Sonic. Its a masterpiece.

>>8035071
Very much so as long as we're talking about just 1. DKC 2 is better though

>>8036705
>Was there no way they could release a super super fx chip to increase the performance of the SNES giving more speed and sprites?

The Super FX 2 was basically that, a Super FX running at twice the clock speed. Most later SFX games used that, including Yoshi.
They also had the SA-1 which was basically the SNES CPU but running over three times faster.

>>8036960
>Don't act like every single person to hear baby Mario crying wasn't instantly annoyed by it.

People who get annoyed by the baby crying noises should not have children.

>>8037753

Don't get hit.
Problem solved.

>>8035071
I'd rate it higher than DKC 1 and 2. DKC 3 is my favorite. But some subhuman in here will tell me how I have shit taste.

>>8035062
Everything. It's one of the comfiest games in existence.

You can literally just chill in the levels and do nothing just because how comfy they are.

>>8036132
Miyamoto likes DKC.

>>8035071
Absolutely and claiming anything else is simply retarded.

Is this the question people use to start a thread when they don't know what their own opinions are?

>>8037861
I don't personally agree but I can respect it. DKC 3 is charming in a different way then 2. The overworld is more fun for sure.
>>8038309
This is a bait thread to shit on Yoshi's island, newfag

>>8038593
You must be new to not know people start threads with that question all the time

>>8037632
I doubt it. Yoshi's Island does not have a time limit.

>>8037861
Based and Peak SOVL Pilled

>>8037861
>>8038638
>>8038593
DKC3 chads rise up!

I hate the baby fuck you

>>8035062
Tekashi Tezuka in charge, that's what went right.

>>8035062
Nintendo's A-Team poured every ounce of effort they had into the game. Yoshi games since then have been relegated to Z-teams that didn't put in even one ounce of effort.

>>8037861
You have shit taste and DKC3 is the first one you've played, you faggot shitter.

>>8038610
And you must be retarded to not get that Yoshi Island threads are almost always bait because of a few autists who fucking hate it with a weird and retarded passion

>>8035865
>>8035843
>>8035817
You can play as mario in yoshi's island though

>>8040469
It's just australia-troon, the most mentally ill poster of /vr/.

>>8035062
Egg throwing alone makes it better than any regular Mario game. Same reason MMZ improved over MMX.

>>8040482
sure, but if it was called just "yoshi's island" it wouldn't have sold as much

>>8040469
>>8040871
you are not trying to have a conversation. you're trying to abuse people to quell the self hatred. find a better coping strategy. Asking what went right about a game as a thread starter contributes nothing and says "feed me with opinions to consume". It irks me. I'm not talking about Yoshi's Island.

>>8035062
Music, atmosphere, minimalistic storytelling, exploration compared to your typical Mario or Donkey Kong (only Wario Land games rival it in exploration)

>>8041067
>egg throwing makes it better
Are you nuts? If you remade previous Mario's so he had to stop in his tracks to aim flower power it would be the worst shit ever.

>>8035071
Yoshi's Island, Diddy's Kong Quest and Sonic 3&K are the best 2D platformers of the era and of all time. I couldn't place one above the others.

>>8042274
It's a good thing that Yoshi's Island is designed differently to regular mario so as to accommodate this different style of gameplay then. It's also a good thing that Yoshi can carry on moving as usual while aiming eggs.

>>8038668
Cope and seethe.

>>8042505
Dkc and sonic 2 stomp all those games you mentioned. Yoshis Island shouldn't be in the same conversation.

>>8035062
This was the start of Nintendo games being embarrassing and childish. Yeah Kirby predates it, but SMW2 is when Nintendo went all in for toddler aesthetics, as seen on N64.

>>8035069
FPBP

Remember that at some point, the game was like this, and it was worse in almost every way. In around 6 months, they turned this unfun slog into a wonderful game.

>>8035071
>It’s better than DKC.
shits all over it and many other games released at the time on any console or computer.
>>8036532
> not even close
imagine being filtered by game built for children? absolutely embarrassing.
>>8035089
yes. really.

>>8043713
> worst in almost every way
> same graphics, sprites, animations, similar features found in full game - minus the ugly scoreboard and timer
> worst in almost every way

>>8043607
>This was the start of Nintendo games being embarrassing and childish. Yeah Kirby predates it
wow. what a shock. a corporation that make consoles and games for children.. are childish? woooooooow. absolutely mindblowing. tell me, how low is your iq exactly? i'm guessing beach sand would rank higher than you in terms of intelligence.

>>8036960
What's really worse though Mario baby crying or Sonic about to drown music?

>>8038243
The art and animation are top-notch. Music is great too.

>>8035062
Music
Levels
Art
Enemies
Boss battles
Bonus levels
Island

>>8043828
To begin with drowning music sounds good but even if you don't its not a thing in most levels. Plus it puts your ass into gear forcing you to find the surface or an air bubble.
>>8043829
That's art is too kiddy.
>>8043761
And look what happened. Psx came along and BTFO of Nintendo for this very reason.

>>8043607
SMW started the downward spiral of Nintendo becoming kiddie garbage with embarassing sound effects and aesthetic style. Yoshi only continues where that game left off. SMW was a mistake.

The two skiing segments were the only parts I didn't like.
