I'm trying to understand your criteria.
You mean that the FF3 map is a legit "world map" because it's a zoomed out map of the overworld map in the game? Then, in that case, the SMW map would also count, it's a zoomed out map of the whole map in the game. Sub-maps aren't included in either.
Or you're using another criteria?

[Anonymous No.4965656]

I might be wrong but isn't the SMW's map just a bunch of islands that are never implied to be the whole world of the game? (Well, maybe that's implied through the title.) If that's not the case then I'm in the wrong here.

Warioland's Overwold map was very 'murican.

[Anonymous No.4965698]

>>4965656
The SMW map is all of Dinosaur Land, which is where the game takes place. It's the world map of the game, it doesn't have to literally be a map of the entire canon world of the entire Super Mario series, that's just goofy.

Overworld maps in early games aren't spheres proper. You can travel in the four cardinal directions forever and the world will repeat, meaning that the world is actually a toroid ("donut shaped").

Yes
BUT
The world map is supposed to be upside down once you go North past the North Pole, or South past the South Pole. Early games didn't account for this which means their worlds are donuts. I can make a visual aid but not right now.

So I understand how crossing the north or south pole would make the back side of the world vertically flipped from your perspective. But I don't understand how going from east to west is supposed to change anything. If I travel west from New York, over the US, across the Pacific ocean, over Asia, across the Atlantic back to New York, I'd still arrive in New York facing the same direction as when I left, having traveled west the entire time.

Of course, all this could be explained as the game world only having the visible landmasses on its entire globe, with the back side of the globe just being one giant ocean and the game just skips the travel time because there's nothing to see on that side of the world.

Well it doesnt have the caves, bowsers castle, starroad, the forest. So, i guess if you want to be that autistic, technically, its not the full world mad. I still dont see how that disqualifies thes as being world maps, full or not.

That map is only the Mushroom Kingdom. It doesn't include Sarasaland because that's a separate place. It's like looking at a map of North America and wondering why Egypt isn't on it.

>>4965826
But isn't it all about perspectives here? Technically doing a sphere in Chrono Trigger at that point in time with the technology wouldn't have been possible at all. The purpose is simply for giving the illusion that you are on a planet for the player. Most people that would have played CT at the time were obviously going to be children that wouldn't know much better. You aren't seeing that ship fly from a first person perspective in that game. The purpose is just to give the illusion anyways because you are controlling characters in a video game. Which doesn't have to be accurate to real life (nor should it ever be).

[Anonymous No.4976634]

>>4975808
It's just interesting to come to the inescapable conclusion that you live on a torus in every jrpg ever built, especially when it is presented as a sphere.

For instance, CT shows the planet when "The future refused to change" as a sphere, FF7 does the same when Meteor is seen in space, Terranigma has you resurrecting literally Earth as we know it, even Secret of Mana has a little used world map subscreen when riding Flammie that computes a spherical projection of the map somehow (probably a fisheye-like transform).

Since a sphere and a torus look like a plane when you zoom in close enough, most people don't pick up on it.

>>4965826
what you say is more or less true, but there is more subtlety in properly representing the sphere then just flipping the map when you pass the poles; otherwise you just have a torus again with the world map painted twice on donut this time.

>>4973337
lol, this looks like a warrior drew all over it with a crayon

[Anonymous No.4976694]

>>4976634
Technically, since it's the same distance horizontally at the bottom and top of the map, the world is actually a torus with identical inner and outer lengths

It just bothered me as a kid because proper geography is taught very very early. There's a globe in every classroom for a reason. There's a discrepancy between how the world should conform to a map and how it does in game. It was kind of strange.

Well the illusion worked good enough for me since I get that there has to be limitations. You always have to suspend your belief a bit with games so its just one of numerous other logical quirks that is in just about every game you could think of. It is funny though that the world is actually a doughnut.

I'm hungry for some doughnuts now.
