super mario world was a step back in a lot of ways imo. why the hell did they remove all the minigames and the super secret stuff like coin ships. that being said it was still an amazing game and finding all the level exits was fun there just needed to be more secrets and overworld minigames.

Hammer Bros - GONE
Coin Ships - GONE
Card Matching - GONE
Lining up the Symbols - GONE

SMB3 was a mature game made from years of accumulated experience with the NES. SMW was a launch title for a brand-new system they didn't quite have a handle on yet.

>Card Matching - GONE

I didn't really miss this stuff. The World minigames were fine.
>Map Screen Inventory - GONE
The issue here has a lot to do with the change in world structure and powerup types. Since you can just go get a feather or yoshi from a level you've already beaten (or the """super secret""" area), whenever you feel like it, there's no real added benefit to having a stock of varied power-up items.

>> No.5736250

Too many autoscrollers and it hands out too many lives. It would be a masterpiece if not for that.

What's an amazing platformer to you? Mario isn't floaty.

The biggest issue with SMB3 is the lack of saves.

> But warp whistles

Yes, but if you use warp whistles then you don't get to keep the power ups you would have saved in your inventory playing the game the long way, which makes the game significantly harder.

It’s funny. SMW finally introduced a save feature, but everytime you load the game it resets your lives.

It's the Seinfeld of 2D platformers. Extremely innovative for its time, but after you've seen all the things it popularized in newer games, there's little left to impress you if you're not a fan of the genre.

It saves world progress. So if you make it to world 3 it saves you on world 3. You have to clear all the levels again but certain things will remain changed if you changed them, like the locked gates and I think Toad Shops and Forts

I honestly feel like Super Mario World is just "OK", and that Mario 64 is a dull chore to play. So I'm with you on the unpopular opinion front in general.

However, SMB3 is one of my all time faves, so I'm going to have to kill you. Respectfully, of course. You are still entitled an opinion. Even as a dead man.
