>>9399835
I like 3

>>9399835
More importantly, which was worse? The answer is, of course, the one (you) like.

they're both perfect but i like world more

>>9399835

>>9399835
smw

>>9399835
Both good, but World is the more refined game.

smb3

SMW feels a little "cheap". there's something missing to it. SMB3 is pure creativity and soul.

>>9399835
The one that wasn't a launch title desperately rushed out the door with one song and five types of levels repeating ad nauseum

>>9399835
3 and it's not even close.

>>9399884
Less power ups and less overworld music

>>9399835
In terms of level design and gameplay mechanics they're on par; Yoshi might tip the balance towards SMW.
On the other hand, the save feature was implemented kind of thoughtlessly and the result is a game prone to let players get ahead with a cumulative deficit of skills, which makes the game increasingly more difficult to really enjoy the further they get.

So I think I like them both equally to pick up and play right now for example, but I do believe SMB3 is the stronger game overall.

>>9399835
1 PLAYER GAME was better.

>>9399835
I have to confess as a longtime SMB3 fan that I had never beat SMW until about a week ago. I actually found SMW to be much more enjoyable to play because it was way easier. I didn't like how Mario controlled at first, but once I got used to it, I really liked the game. I also liked the bosses way more than SMB3. SMB3 will always be dear to me because the NES was the first console I owned. SMW wins for me simply because if I had to choose which one to play to relax, it would have to be SMW.

>>9399835
They case can be made for either one. If one is 100% the other is 99.5%. They are both that good.

My favorite is SMW, purely because I feel the overall theme and world is more cohesive. I like the longer levels and all the secret exists and how the world unfolds. SMB3 has more varied levels but they are all much, much shorter.

>>9399835
I enjoy the movement of SMW much more than 3's, but 3's sheer variety in power ups, levels, and enemies wins out. Plus, the difficulty curve is better.

I liked 3 better. the movement felt more snappy.

immediately after I beat smb3 I started playing World and hated how long it took to change direction.

>>9399940
>I didn't like how Mario controlled at first, but once I got used to it
i feel like that's very common in platformers. in the end, both SMB3 and SMW controls great but SMW has regrabs which is great, but ordinary level design they're rarely needed

SMW feels too easy for the levels you get. By Vanilla Dome, you've probably mastered the movement and can steamroll through the game.

SMB3 is slightly harder. Both in term of the physics being closer to SMB1, and the level design being more compact with more obstacles and enemies in tighter areas for greater challenge. I just think SMB3 is the better game.

maario 3 has so much more variety and soul.

also more level themes, mor epowerups. and quality level design

>>9399835
World, by far.

>>9399835
i legitimately do not understand how an adult can enjoy these sort of games

>>9399902
>In terms of level design they're on par
Fuck off, SMW levels are massive in comparison and so much more vertical and varied. SMB3 levels are mostly short and to the point, focusing on a single gimmick or theme. SMW levels have branching paths and secret exits in a lot of cases, whereas SMB3 rarely has those.

>>9400149
>maario 3 has so much more variety and soul.
I don't buy that anyone holds this opinion because it's categorically not true. It would take having forgotten completely about SMW. Those conveyors in your pic are all over SMW, also.

worldcels seething over 3chads

I much prefer SMB3

Don't these discussions usually come down to which game a person played during childhood?
I grew up with SMB3 and it's not even s contest for me

>>9400165
This but anyone liking RPGs instead. Boring as fuck games

I adore them both.

>>9400206
why are you so bad at SMW?

>>9400165
Some people play video games to have fun.

>>9399835
Both are excellent games

[SPOILER]The SMAS version of SMB3 is superior[/SPOILER]

>>9400165

>>9399835(OP)
Both are excellent games

The cape in SMW is too OP

The SMAS version of SMB3 is superior

>>9400176
but theres 4 things in that pic mario world doesnt have, you fell for my trap

>>9400206
Lol @ 30 seconds
So busy spasing around like a retard that he forgets to go.

>kids comparing two of the greatest games of all time, not just the two best mario games, greatest games OF ALL TIME
>thinks one is "better" than the other
When you grow up you'll grow out of "is X better than Y" when X and Y are both good.

3.

SMW for some reason I could never really get into. It’s very similar to 3 in some ways so in theory I should love it but it never clicked. Something about it is offputting. I don’t like the music, I don’t really love yoshi in the game either

>>9399835
World controls a lot better, Mario isn't a brick in it. More varied levels, music, graphics, bosses, Yoshi

Not sure why so many people prefer Bros, seems autistic

I prefer world.
But I hate these threads. Why do even make them? What do you expect, a conclusion?

>>9399853
Truly 11/10

>>9400058
I can breeze though SM3 and always get filtered by World before even leaving the first island

>>9400968
To be fair, it's your own fault if you get caught up in the fanboy shitposting
OP might be just someone who wants to get into Mario and start with the best. I ask which game the best is in a series all the time and then ignore the shitposting

At least we can all agree that they both shit on Yoshi's Island

>>9400295
rpgs are for those who hate reading

>>9400206
Is this another episode of /vr/ pretending a level wasn't new and exciting as fuck when played the first time just because you already played it a million times now episode?

>>9399835
How about something with all the pros and none of the cons of both games.

>>9400165
when you become one you'll understand

World. No, I will not elaborate

It's a bit of an autistic nitpick but I've always been a little irked by how worthless world's non run walk is. In 1 and 3 your momentum when running is such that you occasionally want to use the walk for shorter platforms and tight situations, in world you might as well just have the b button taped down.

the cape fucking sucks, the only way to use it completely breaks levels, otherwise it's horribly awkward.

>>9400979
rent free

>>9401181
goddamn those character outlines are dummy thicc

>have to mash the b button to fly as raccoon mario
I never liked 3 for this reason alone.

>>9400910
Actually World has mountain, weird special levels and sunken ship if you are gonna count airships levels too

>>9401217
You can't help it if you're autistic

>>9401217
This. Difficulty that a) incentivizes using turbo and b) is completely avoided by using turbo is shit

>>9399835
World. Three's fucking dull

>>9401397
Tapping a button isn't difficult. How fraile are you?

>>9401616
Also not fun. Go play God of War

The fact that you even have to ask points to 3 being better.

World was on superior hardware and had far more to work with. It shouldn't even be a question.

>>9401181
>Shit music, screen crunch, and voice clips
No thanks.

>>9400206

Holy fuck you're bad bro. 64 baby here and I thought I was inconceivably bad at 2d platforming because I grew up in 3d. Turns out, there are people far, far worse than me. Look at all the shit you missed and the autistic way you waited so god damn long for sections to open. You have inspired someone to keep going today.

>>9401708
Ah yes, i too love pressing XXY over and over for combat

>>9401216
Paper mario style

>>9399835
Super Mario Bros. 5 - The Star of Fate

>>9401708
>game bad
why?
>you have to press buttons
You don't even like or play video games. Fuck off retard.

This means literally nothing. How the fuck is this valid critique? You have the mental capacity of a child.

>>9400206
>stretched widescreen
why would you upload this?

3
One of, if not thee greatest 8 bit platformer.
SMW
B sides from 3 rushed out for console release in order to compete with the genesis.
If only we had a real smw2, a mario game that truly pushed the snes the way 3 pushed the nes.

>>9402246
kek smwfags seethe so hard over their ugly game

>>9399835
SMB3 All-stars but they're all fantastic
I wouldn't mind a romhack that makes it look more like the NES game but still has backgrounds

>>9401184
Nice

>>9399835
Yoshi's Island

>muh souly soulful soulerino bing bing wahoo gaems

>>9400174
I said they're on par despite my personal preferences. Your take is that they aren't BECAUSE of yours.

Despite what can be ascertained by your mom's browser history, bigger doesn't necessarily means better. You get a very different flow with bigger levels in comparison to an equivalent amount of content distributed in smaller levels, and some players could (and do) prefer the latter. Not to mention there's not much of a difference in proportion of vertical level design across both games, and the "gimmicks" are present in both. Again, whether either element is a good or a bad thing is completely subjective.

>>9400016
Yeah it's kind of hard to go from one platformer you put a lot of time into to another. It just feels off or weird. I have an even worse time going from Mario to Donkey Kong Country. Though the newest iteration is easily my fave platformer of all time.

>>9400165
The older I get the more I enjoy them. They're better than most modern games. I didn't beat either until I was close to 40. I played them as a kid, but never beat them back then.

>>9400294
Often the do, but my opinion shifted over time. I'd rather replay SMW than SMB3. Though SMB3 is undeniably the more nostalgic game for me.

>>9400892
The only good thing about Yoshi is that you can usually avoid using him.

>>9399835
SMB3
SMW had little to no variation in level theming or music. The entire uses arrangements of the same theme and variants of the same grassy biome. SMB3 has so much more than that.

>>9400294
They came out in 1990 and 1991 respectively in the west anon. Even with the time dilation of a child's perspective, the most likely scenario is having grown up with both.

why are zoomers obsessed with ranking things
why do they seem incapable of understanding that different games offer different subjective experiences

lol

>>9408457
I'm sorry you're so bad at smw bro

>>9401724
You can remove the voice clips, rom patch, works amazingly well, everything else, yeah sadly cant do much

>>9401258
>mountain
they are identical to the plains levels, but with different color palette, even the background is shared with the normal plains levels too.
>weird special levels
uses same tilesets and backgrounds as normal levels.
>sunken ship
just single level, and just underwater ghost house level. Sure, its unique I'll give you that, but if we are gonna count that then we should count smb3 bowsers castle since it has its own unique graphics and is singular unique level too.

and also >>9400910 doesn't list ice levels for smw, although theres grand total of two of them(+1 sub level) in SMW.
