Okay...SMWorld and Yoshi's Island are my two favorite Mario games(Mario RPG comes close) and I wonder which one do you find the best.
My vote goes for Yoshi's Island. I think it is more than just a platformer, some of my friends who don't like platformers love Yoshi's Island, actually SMWorld too...
Let's take a look at both games:
Graphics: SMW is of course much older and YI uses the maximum powers of SNES, but both are bright and detailful. YI wins because rich detail and the crayon-coloring. :)
Music: Here I think YI is the clear winner! Especially the music in some of the bosses' castles.
Controlling: Both games are superb in that...
Enemies and items: Yoshi's Island has the greatest endbosses EVER! And I've played A LOT of games.. :) SMWorld has cool enemies too.
Overall, SMWorld has got a bigger world, and isn't so linear, but I think Yoshi's Island is like a great experience, sadly I've heard that Yoshi's Story isn't as good...
Give me your comments!

I definitley prefer Yoshi's Island. One of the best games out there, in my opinion.

I love Super Mario World, it's my fav mario game. But yoshi island is good too.

I like Yoshi's Island a lot better. And there's just some charm to it that makes you want to play it all over again.
But the only point where I prefer Super Mario World over Yoshi's Island is that YI has Baby Mario in it. And Baby Mario is the most annoying character in the world in my opinion (tied with Navi).
I also prefer Yoshi's Island because Yoshi is the star.
btw, Yoshi's Story isn't all that good. Actually, the graphics are awesome, and some other stuff like gameplay is really good. However, the game blows because of two things: too easy, and the most annoying game in the world.
If you don't know what's annoying about it, read the review from IGN or somewhere. You'll see just how horrible the game is because of how it's oriented. That's all it took to take it from what would be a stellar game into one of the worst games ever.
May Yoshi live long and prosper...
Oh, and may PenguinWizard have the same treatment.

Comparing "Super Mario World" and "Yoshi's Island" is like comparing "Aliens" and "Alien 3," or "Batman Returns" and "Batman Forever." One has almost everything, the other has nothing and just drags the first one down with it. The graphics, music, controlling, enemies, items, and replay value are all noticably better in "Super Mario World" than in "Yoshi's Island." And, for Yoshiboshi, "Yoshi's Story" is better than "Yoshi's Island" (not by much, though).
Vwee-voo! Forget "Yoshiyoshi!" "Vwee-voo!" is better!

Mega 2, do you have some strange traumas from playing Yoshi's Island? Like after playing it your house burned down(with your dog inside it)?
And Alien 3 is pretty good...
-
I bought "Yoshi's Island" expecting it to be about as good as "Super Mario World," or at least as good as "Super Mario Bros." When I started playing it I was so disgusted I considered returning it.
"Yoshi's Island" is the most disappointing video game ever connected to "Mario," and an embarassment to Nintendo. It didn't sell, and pretty much everybody agrees that it was lousy.
I wrote an in-depth review of it, but I haven't put it on my site yet due to computer problems.
Vwee-voo! Forget "Yoshiyoshi!" "Vwee-voo!" is better!

Wow. I don't think I've ever heard of a person who hated Yoshi's Island. But, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
As for my opinion, I have a hard time deciding. I think I egde it to SMW because of the two player option and how Mario can often go one direction while Luigi goes another. I always really enjoyed that. But Yoshi's Island is great, too; don't get me wrong. The looks and music of Yoshi's Isalnd are still among what I concider the best in videogames, even today, and it provides hours of replay value trying to get 100pts in each level.
SMW and SMW2 are two awesome games. I hope they are both re-released on the GBA.

Regardless of what Mega2's views are (as they are his opinion and he is entitled to them, as long as he doesn't try and force other people to have the same view as him)...
I think Yoshi's Island is the best Mario game ever created, if not one of the best video games of all time. It's massive, has amazing graphics and music, is fun from beginning to end, and has the "point-structure" as well, which increases the replay value tenfold.

too happy
Would you like to buy a star?

YI SUCKS! THE WORST GAME IN HISTORY! Capital B for Bad! Worst game! Baby Mario is a cheap add on. I liked the way Baby Bowser was, I think it was cool, but Baby Mario? Plus the plot makes no friggen sense. MB are born in Brooklyn, and in the game, they're born in TMK? Thats ****ed up! I HATE THIS GAME!

Mega 2, is that you??

I don't think I've ever seen someone break two rules in one post. And if this keeps going, it could break a third...
Does your face hurt?

KinopioToad, check out my "Where were the Mario Bros. born?" thread. It may get you to like YI a bit more. Maybe...

I'm not the same person as Iggy Koopa.

Oops. I addressed KinopioToad up there. I meant to address Iggy Koopa. Sorry, KT.
Iggy, check out the "Where were they born?" thread. It may get you to like YI a bit more.

There was a time when I shared Iggy Koopa and Mega 2's opinion of Yoshi's Island. (Well, perhaps I didn't feel QUITE as strongly as they do!) But I certainly wasn't a big fan of the game when I rented it shortly after launch.
****ed if I know why -- perhaps I was burnt out by the SNES era's tsunami of platformers. Perhaps I was in a bad mood at the time. Perhaps I was annoyed out of my skull by Baby Mario's crying... (probably the last!)
Flash forward four years to the day I start downloading ROMs for the emulator, and suddenly I feel very differently. VERY differently. Maybe it was the disappointment over Mario 64 and the dissatisfaction with most 3D games generally, maybe it because I was in love at the time and my mind was acting wonky, maybe I'd had some acid slipped into my beer. Whatever. I started playing as was immediately impressed.
and then I got to the "tough Fuzzy, get dizzy" level. My mind was blow. I was flaberghasted. My puny brain exploded. And i suddenly went from playing video games twice a year to relieve final exam stress to became as hardcore a devotee as I had in grade 7. Every level was a revelation - the pseudo 3D effects of the FX/2 chip was too cool to put into words, and the fact that EVERY level had unique enemies and gameplay challenges and I was hooked. A tour of the pawn shops in town found two copies of the game, and the quest to get 100% in each level continues.
Moral of the story - ummm... well... the game rocks. HARD. In a fair fight yoshi's Island will kick Mario world's heiny. As for Yoshi's Story, let's not get started on that piece of poo.

What really did it for me is that I didn't even know it was coming out. At the time I was not an internet junkie, and I'd gone through a very long period of not buying game-news magazines. And then I saw this in a shop, and while I thought the idea sounded silly, I got it for my next birthday a couple weeks later.
You see, I knew nothing about the game at all, aside from what was on the box. From turning the game on, to the moment I got 100 points in each and every level, I had discovered and played, and eventually completed one of the most graphically impressive and well designed games on the Super Nintendo.
That's why it has always been my fave game. Now I don't like playing games such as Super Mario World unless I'm exploring for every Dragon Coin or something, because I don't like walking and jumping occasionally (eg. SMB), because it's mindless. I like games that grab you, drive you through the wall and scream "LOVE ME" and YI did just that.
