TIL people used an analog stick in 3Dworld.
Duh, no wonder you didn't like it. Use a dpad like you are supposed to.

Nothing in this game is better than galaxy
Why do they have to compete? Both are greatMy favourite Galaxy 2 levels were essentially prototype 3D World levels. I agree OP, I always will.
The only thing Galaxy has over 3D world is the spheres and the soundtrack.
I think Galaxy 1 still has a foot firmly planted in the older 3D Mario style of Mario 64 and Sunshine enough to differentiate itself. That and the newness of the gravity mechanics and tremendously explosive presentation really set it apart from 3DW as its own thing. To me after playing Galaxy 2 and 3DW back to back I just felt like Galaxy 2 was just 3DW version 0.5. It just feels like it tried to do what 3DW did but worse. I know it's kind of not fair to make that statement since SMG2 came first, but I guess the lengthy OP is just a way of saying I found that SMG2 didn't age well now that 3DW is around, whereas SMG1 is different enough that it does age better.
Mario 3D World is compromised as a single player experience to facilitate local multiplayer.
Galaxy 2 is GOAT.
That must be it. I didn't play it multiplayer, but there were definitely long gaps in some levels and too much open space. It was the first time I said to myself "This is a Mario game, why am I bored?"
I'd agree with you at one point but I've started g2 and it a work of genius above the previous.I'd say 3D World, 3D Land, 64 and even Galaxy are all better than Galaxy 2 when it comes to 3D Mario.
Just remember it's 16 way control, but also let it flow for you. The levels are designed to play like a ninja but there's no rushI'm on Flower World right now, jeesh the platforming is hard in 3D space. I've jumped off the level too many times because I couldn't judge how far or close I was in 3D space.
I dunno, I loved Galaxy 2 and 3DW but everytime I play them I just wish I was back playing Tropical Freeze instead because platform jumping in 3D space is frustrating sometimes.
Disagree with the premise, agree with a lot of the points.
I totally agree that 3dworld is absolutely the true successor to the series that started as a 2d platformer.
It absolutely is 2d mario in 3d.
I just like adventure games better than pure platformers.
Great read though.
I like how debates on which 3D Mario is the best always comes down to slight preferences and which masterpiece is the best. It's a lot more civil compared to the mudslinging that goes around in 3D Zelda debates, where the one someone doesn't like is so often called trash that defies what Zelda should be.
Op, I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish,
but NSMB U is the best Mario game (2D or 3D) of ALL TIME
and both Galaxy games are better too.
3D World is in fact the worst 3D mario to date, a failed attempt to fix 2D and 3D Mario elements and even lacking the originality and real 3D that 3D Land offered.
Wut?
Very good post, OP. I agree. I do think that Galaxy 1's style still very much has a place, and I would put it above 3D World even though I loved it. For me it goes Galaxy 1 > 3D World > Galaxy 2.
Very good points though.
No Mario with 8-way controls can be better than those without.
This would be my ranking as well. Galaxy 2 is great, but it lacks its own identity, borrowing most from G1
I was ready to to give you thumbs up for the NSMBU love. Best 2D Mario for sure and challenge mode is the GOAT.Op, I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish,

Nice challenge, and beat it. 3D World and Land's "difficulties" are laughable, tho.
LTTP: Super Mario 3D World - Or, why it's vastly superior over Galaxy 2 in every way

Nice. Always love a good 3D World is better than Galaxt post. 3D World is always what I've wanted 3D Mario to be. 2D Mario in 3D with pure focused level design and gameplay. Galaxy has more spectacle. 3D World is the better platformer.
