Hardcore Gamer: While the original Super Nintendo release has been available on the Wii U’s Virtual Console for quite some time, the less popular (but still fantastic) Game Boy Advance remake, Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, has finally become available.
"Super Mario World was one of the launch titles for SNES and it showed what the console was capable of. It remains one of my favorite platformers of all time because of the pixel-perfect 2D graphics, its secrets, and how fun and creative the levels are." - Alex Legard from Video Chums
I think it’s disrespectful to even poll this. Super Mario World is just better. Bigger Scope. Yoshi’s island has probably only had like half as many of the levels.
We put polls on all of our Versus articles so our visitors can have their say as well as the author picking their favourite. Go democracy! :D
I love both but I give the edge to Yoshi Island. It improved upon everything I liked about SMW 1. These days I'm more inclined to play Yoshi Island over World.
I love both but Yoshi’s island just edges it for me. The level design the transformations and use of the FX 2 chip is simply amazing.
I always preferred Super Mario World far more. Yoshi just didn't appeal to me in the same way, visually, and gameplay-wise.
From exclusives like WarioWare to must-have ports like A Link to the Past, these are the 25 greatest GBA games.
It was sick. You really feared for your life when you came across a space pirate. It felt good killing them when I got the powersuit.
VGChartz' William D'Angelo: "The Game Boy Advance is the 8th best-selling video game platform in history and the third best-selling handheld, behind the Nintendo DS and Game Boy. It sold 118.69 million units lifetime.
