Which game is better...

[Yoshi2]

It seems there is some question over SMB3 and SMW. Well, truthfully, I like them both(Ok, so I like SMB3 better. So what?). SMB3 is great. It's packed with worlds, levels, settings, powerups, mini-games, bosses, graphics, replay value, and fun. SMW has all of those except for powerups, mini-games, and replay value. All of the powerups I can remember are the old trio, and I would hardly consider calling Yoshi a powerup. It did have some but not as many mini-games, SMB3 was full of them even if it did reuse 2 or so. And seeing them on the map was cool. After beating 96 goals, do you really want to do it again? The reason SMW tipped up to the middle of the balance was because of the good graphics, music, spirit, new things, and SAVE FUNCTIONALITY. SMB3 was great... but you couldn't save. As for SMB3 in SMAS - I would hardly consider saving your world saving at all! You can go right back to the world you were on(up to world 8) in the "old" SMB3 by actually beating I think 3 levels or less! But don't get me wrong... I'm not dissing SMW... I love both! Just giving my opinion... of course SMW isn't even one of the choices is it.................


-YOSHI :P

I like the fact that you can't save in the classic "Mario" games.  That way, it's not too easy.  "Lost Levels" can't humanly be beaten without saves, though, so that's one exception.  "Mario 3" is absolutely perfect in difficulty, not too easy, not too hard.  "Mario World" and "Yoshi's Island" are too easy and "Lost Levels" and "Mario 2" are too hard.  "Mario 64" and "Mario R.P.G." are a different type of game, and saves are required there, just not (I think) in "Mario 1," "Mario 3," "Mario World," or "Yoshi's Island."

SMB3.
Not only is it the best Mario game of all time  (SMW is a close second) if you read EGM #100, SMB3 is the second best game of all time on their 100 best games of all time list.(If you wanted to know, the #1 game was Tetris)

[TRM04]

Relly?  Cool.  Which version of tetris was #1?  All of them in general or Tengens or Nintendos or which?

[MrWhitefolks]

well, honestly; it just makes no sense to compare A)a 2d platformer, B)an rpg and C)a full 3d platformer/adventure game. the genre differences are to vast to actually compare games. i mean, cmon now; that's like comparing Tekken to Legend of Zelda. It just ain't gonna happen. the only thing those 3 games have in common is Mario. That's it. period

Peace

Now that I think about it, all of them are the best for their systems, but if you look at EGM's Best Games of all Time list, all three games are within the top 15.( SMW was #11, SM64 was #4, and SMB3 was #2.) Oh, and EGM said any version of Tetris was good.

Correction!  SMRPG was #26.  I know SMW wasn't one of the choices.  My mind was wandering at the time.^_^
