As Mario now approaches his mid-30’s does this aging franchise still have a place amongst the gaming elite? Writes Mr BadDog
Let’s discuss what made Super Mario World so good. This Nintendo classic is one of the best 2D games of its generation.
It was imaginative, great controls and fun. Definition of a great game. What else is there to say?
The end.
I love this game. Got the SNES bundle of Christmas of 1992 I think. I wanted the Genesis with Sonic 2 but this was just as good at the time. This was a huge jump from the nes Mario's and I didn't think it could get batter than Mario 3. The addition to Different Yoshi's added amazing gameplay.
It was magical. Coming from Super Mario 3, this game felt glorious with its graphics, colors and music. A masterpiece.
Jessica Mullane for SUPERJUMP: "a style of gameplay that is intentionally meant to be frustratingly difficult. Don't expect to master anything in a day or even a month"
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
10 out of 10 my butt. I have the game, have beaten the game and its good but 10 out of 10 no way. I would give it an 8. But will also say that nintendo needs to start making new ips. Games like these are getting old.
I would argue that 3DWorld is a perfect game.
But I would also argue that it doesn't deserve a perfect score. At all. Not even close.
Nintendo went ahead and produced the best co-op game in years... but then didn't bother to include online play. That's a HUGE detriment. Hell, they even said that they only MIGHT consider implementing online in some vague, future game.
10/10 my ass. People need to stop giving Nintendo a free pass for this kind of thing.
