I don't know why, but I feel like a lot of the soul of 3 was taken away with the All Stars version. I could never pin point exactly what's wrong with it, but I always feel nothing when I play the all stars version compared to the NES original. I think the soundtrack having a lot of reverb might have something to do with it? Idk. Has anyone else ever felt that with this game?

Both are fine... The snes version you can save and back warp... So you can get lots of hammer bros suits then start with them which is fun... The hammer bro suit was also less common in the original, the snes gives you a few more places to find it

My biggest gripe with the All-Stars remasters (NOT remakes; they're almost exactly the same games underneath) has always been the sound effects. They're based on Super Mario World's, and so everything sounds teeny as fuck, from Mario's jump to when you collect coins and such.

I agree with almost everything in this. People always trash this person but having a critical eye doesn't make you an "autist". It just means you care about something and are talented at appreciating something.

Criticism often sounds like nitpicking because it places much attention on tiny details and thereby suggests these details are more important than they are. But really that inflation of importance is just an artifact of the process of conveying the criticism to others, and it should be expected that those others will mentally filter it out. Naturally many are too stupid to do this.

It doesn't matter what they had in mind. If they had something inferior in mind and were forced by hardware limitations or by development resource limitations to create something superior, then so be it. Their original vision is not the ideal. There's no reason for us to prefer an inferior game because it matches the creators' intentions.

Now here's a ROM hack I would play: one that takes the soulful stuff from the NES version and places it back into the SNES version, with obvious tweaks so it's still 16-bit, but much closer to the original than the remade stuff.

A few of these are a bit silly, but it's absolutely true that these sorts of little details are what separate SMB3 from the All-Stars version. The NES game had a very unique art style, while I can only really describe the SNES release as "a generic platformer". It's a perfectly good port, and the ability to save is absolutely nice. But I'll always go back to the NES version. SMB3 is probably the only title on All Stars that I feel this way about, though: SMB1, 2, and Lost Levels don't really lose as much, in my opinion.

>>8341634
This is a good point, too. The sound design is a lot less "punchy" in All-Stars, which is one of my gripes with World, as well.

Well, it kind of fits with the general aesthetic of SMW. I don't know how to describe it. I just have a hard time imagining the punchy NES sounds on SMW, like they wouldn't go well together. But yeah, I'd love a ROM hack that ports the NES sounds forward to SMAS.
