    Both are god-tier, while some may say you can invalidate World with just the Cape and understanding how to fly, that requires some skill to pull off.

    I'm always going to be loyal to 3. Pretty much entirely because of the artwork(and because it's what I played first and because I percieve it as the underdog)

      When I say the artwork of SMB3 I mean more specifically SMA4. Though maybe that doesn't count as points towards 3.

      Star Road and the reskin you get for beating it are bigger on their own than SMB3:
      SMW is better by every metric, especially blue Yoshi's ability to fly while holding any color of shell in his mouth.

    Why did Mario have black overalls and not blue in 3???

    What the frick is up with that shit???

    • 9 months ago

      Color palette limitations. NES sprites can only display 4 colors, including transparency when applicable. They wanted Mario to have a black outline, so his overalls needed to be black as well.

    NES games just aren't as good as SNES games; people may disagree but the NES was the bridging gap between unplayable atari garbage and modern video games and most of the time, they were pretty trashy. Except SMB3 but it being an NES game, with the flaws of the system, just make it inferior to Super Mario World

    3's levels are more consistent and well-crafted. Many of World's levels just seem to be haphazardly slapped together and aren't fun to play through. The only gameplay advantage SMW has is that you can return to previously beaten worlds

    This again? I swear this was posted just the other day. Anyway, the answer is SMB3. More level theme variety than grass, grass, and more grass, and the same goes for the soundtrack having more than one song.

    As a Sonicgay who only just started playing Mario for the first time a few months ago, I preferred World.
    Neither game was exactly hard, they had their moments, but World felt more rewarding, going around and exploring to find all the alternate routes I could. Getting into the special world before I even got through Vanilla Dome was cool as frick.
    SMB3 is in a close 3rd though.

    World, if only I really enjoyed doing dumb shit like dragging blue yoshi to maps he shouldnt be.
    Going back to old stages and finding moons.

    In SMB3 it always felt like theres no reason to explore even though there was at times, it just felt like I had to b-line to the end if im running out of time to play.

    Impossible question to answer fairly. I grew up playing 3 on my Dad's Nintendo and didn't play World until I was in Middle School.
    I'm still going to say objectively 3 is a stronger game than world.

    3 easily how is this a contest? 3 has more stage variety, better powerups and more songs. SMW's entire soundtrack is re-arranges of one fricking melody it's tedious as shit. World has Yoshi and some nice physics but that's about it. It was a rushed out the door tech demo for the SNES whereas Mario 3 was a culmination of everything the NES could do. If they made a proper World 2 at the end of the SNES lifespan maybe then we'd have a real comparison on our hands.

    Power-ups are too trivial in SMW. You can keep an item in reserve, you can re-enter levels and immediately exit them after obtaining your desired items, and the levels themselves have way too many ! boxes. With very little effort, you can grab a couple of feathers (and a Yoshi if you so desire). You can fly over half of the levels without even seeing an enemy. Most of the levels that you *can't* fly over are kind of boring. I wasn't a a fan of the underground levels with the rising-and-falling yellow stuff. Forced-scrolling levels are tedious when they're slow-moving.

    The power-ups in SMB3 actually felt important, so you had to be careful with how you used them. The levels felt more creative, in general, and it offered more surprises.

    They're both classics, but SMB3 is the clear winner.

    3 is more impressive as an NES game but World is the more enjoyable experience. I don't like the bite-sized level design of 3. The game is lacking in color and overall it just pisses me off.

    I find World to be a step back because of the aesthetics. There's so many samey levels and they all run together in my mind, whereas 3 had better theming all around. World still plays fine and has a really good area in it, though. (Forest of Illusion)

    World is the worst of the entire 2D series (3D need not apply at all because they're all shatformers).
