I agree OP, it's better than SML 2, I hate how zoomed in SML 2 is, reminds me of Super Mario Bros Deluxe being zoomed in so platforms and enemies that would usually be visible in the NES version aren't, whereas SML 1 treats the field of vision like a monitor, so sprites may be tiny, but at least you can see everything you need to see in your field of view.

>> No.9653890

I always liked that SML felt like its own weird little Mario game. SML2 is "technically" better but it basically just feels like a watered-down SMW.

SML is just a quick little game to romp through when you've got like 20-30 minutes to kill. No bullshit.

>> No.9653891

to be fair sml2 slowed mario way down so the zoom in doesn't affect you much, but that's why i prefer sml1. soundtrack is better, zips along at a much better pace and doesn't overstay its welcome

Probably the only Mario platformer I don't care for. Mario must have smooth movement for it to work. SML Mario feels locked into arbitrary positions. And don't blame the hardware when SML2 runs on the same limitations.

It's alright. I don't remember getting far when I was a kid, for some reason, but I replayed it just the other day and had a decent time finishing it and the hard mode. It straight up copy and pastes mulitple screens which is a bummer, but I understand how cool it was to have Mario on the GameBoy at the time.

>>9653479
I played SML2 right after and was pretty surprised to not like it as much as I did when I was young. I found myself really missing having a score. I didn't think I cared too much about that, but I kept thinking about it the whole playthrough.

>Wario was originally designed to be German. Accordingly, his voice actor from 1996-2001 in Japan, German Thomas Spindler, gave him several German lines.[17] When his voice actor for international markets, Charles Martinet, who has also voiced Mario since 1995, started voicing him on all markets, this was dropped.

I personally think it was a bit bland, but it's not like most early GB games were exciting adventures on par with NES games anyways.
Wish the setting wouldn't be left unused outside of name association with Daisy, who I wish looked more like her classic appearance instead of endlessly being in a palette swap of Peach's dress and wasn't pushed too hard into being too much of a clone

I love Totaka's soundtracks and that leitmotif or whatever where they use the same song across the whole game gets me hard, but SML2's music starts to irritate me after a while. I think even VB Wario Land, also composed by him, ends up sounding much better.
