You can't say Nintendo without thinking about Mario. Its two most iconic 2D games are Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. Which is the best?

Tie for me.
Like asking which cereal is best, Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Cookie Crisp?

Mario 3 I love due to its items and secrets.
Super Mario I love due to its hidden stages, gave us yoshi.

Personally, still waiting for Mario 3: Act 2.

“Personally, still waiting for Mario 3: Act 2.”

The e-Reader levels in Super Mario Advance 4 and New Super Mario Bros 2 is the closest you’ll ever get to that

Nintendew2101d ago

Figured Mario Maker but forgot about ereader.
Still have hope.

JEECE2101d ago

It's so obviously 3 for me that I find it surprising that this is such a debate.

Tross2101d ago

For my Super Mario World will forever be the greatest Mario title, but 3 is a pretty great game in its own right.

Petebloodyonion2101d ago

For me, it's a no-contest
Super Mario 3 hands down
I still call this game the best 2d platformer ever made.
1) lots of minigames like the toad house, the memory games, the hammer fights, old Mario bros battle, etc.
2) tons of power-up, Tanoki, Hammer Bros, Frog, P wing, cloud, a damn boot, raccoon plus the original
3) The angry sun (come on, it was more terrifying compared to the giant Boo)
4) Better Secrets, I disagree with the article here, finding an alternative exit is cool but it's nothing compared to learning how to make appear a floating house or turning a Hammer Bros into a coins ship. And let's be honest How many of us taught that we were cool because we knew where to catch the 1st flute tks to the Wizzard?

Nintendew2101d ago

Holding down a few seconds on a white block to drop threw it on stage 3 world 1, finding my first blue toad house and the boot, yes the boot. That was awesome.

Chard2101d ago

World, easily. Possibly my all-time favourite game.

SMB3's levels are crazy short.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9215d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil14d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Indeed. A lot more effort was put into this than I had anticipated.

ZycoFox106d ago

This is probably the best way to do It, release full thing instead of showing progress, then any backlash from Nintendo is kind of too late.. but if it got a lot of attention I guess they'd still try and take it down

Terry_B106d ago

it isnt released and won't be.

DivineHand125106d ago

This looks great it is a shame it will not be released. So far, I am seeing the concept of each mechanic and I would love to at least see a full playthrough of the 1st level of the game.
