Oh god. I'm almost afraid to get to Pipe World in SMB3. ;___;

Haha you're dead meat on the Piranha Plant stage if you can't open the Star boxes in time

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Exactly the reason why SM3 > World.

Blasphemy!

 

[Sinthetic]

Hahaha, Cat gif is so funny. Just what this great thread needed.

 

[agrajag]

What? There are people hatin' on the cape? What?

 

[RagnarokX]

But Super Mario Bros 3 IS the best 2D Mario game... at least it was until New Super Mario Bros Wii.

Female Boom Boom has a boomerang too.

Also, the GBA version of SMB3 had e-reader cards that gave you boomerang bros that threw blue boomerangs. You could grab these blue boomerangs and use them. I don't know if they ever released those in the US, though.

Watch out. You don't want to end up in a box like that cat. Its not big enough for two of us.

Super Mario Bros. 3 used to be the second best 2D Mario game, after World of course.

SMA4e is some ROMhack-ass awesome shit. They need to release that stuff for free when Mario's 30th rolls around.

 

[Magicpaint]

Spoiler

But he's right.

New Super Mario Bros Wii isn't even compelling enough for me to get past world 3 -_- Utter blasphemy. Bland art, meh music, meh controls. Eh...

What? There are people hatin' on the cape? What?

It's fun to use and I do enjoy it, but it's a double edge sword. And one of key reasons I hold SMW in lower regard than its superior predecessor.

 

[Busaiku]

This is true.

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

I know, and I can't wait to play it, but I'm talking about SNES-era Square-and-Nintendo-making-love-and-coming-up-with-isometric-RPG-goodness Mario RPG.

It's only a matter of time before someone at Nintendo crunches the numbers and figures out how many more copies they could sell by announcing Paper Mallow and Paper Geno in the next Paper Mario.

None of those things are as important as the level design, which NSMBW does very well.

And unlike the bite size chunks in SMB3, levels in NSMBW are actually fairly meaty too.

OMG, video for that GIF?

Owned by Square. Not saying they couldn't, but they'd need permission from Square like they did with M&L for Geno being in.

 

[Lijik]

I hope theres not too much overhead full-on sprint sections.
The one in the trailer looked like something a java cellphone platformer would pull, not what you'd expect from a Mario game.

 

[Fernando Rocker]

OMG, video for that GIF?

Someone, please!

 

[DarkWish]

I knew that new suit looked familiar

Does anyone have a link to a higher-res version of this?

This game is looking fantastic, really looking forward to it.

 

[Magicpaint]

They aren't but they contribute to the overall package. When you have other Mario games checking all the boxes then I can't see how NSMB Wii deserves to be crowned. It doesn't satisfy all the requirements IMO and the intial levels are bland as hell.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

You said you didn't get past World 3?

Then yeah. You should play some more of it.

 

[Agent Unknown]

New trailer and boomerang suit are sweet. Still hoping we'll get the Hammer suit though.

The Yoshi games are separate, dood.

Then it is decided. Super Mario World is the best 2D Mario game.

 

[JazzmanZ]

The best Mario platformer is DKC2.

 

[udivision]

No Zelda 2

no, zelda 2 is the best rpg nintendo has ever put out.

Miyamoto decided that a while ago. There was a thread on it. And I was validated.

 

[Nocturnowl]

This guy gets it, Mario's there looking up with envy at my DK coin amount surpassing his

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Ummm... all of them have been good.

The worst Mario is still better than pretty much every other platformer.

I do enjoy SMB3 above the others... but I really got into gaming in the NES gen. And SMB3 seemed like it was running on entirely different hardware than SMB.

I can see why someone would love SMW over it.

I have to redo one thing. SMB3 was my favorite until NSMBWii.

That one is freaking terrific alone, but on an entirely different field when you're playing with a few more people. A couple of friends I've had since High School, my brother, and I try to get together every Friday night.

We play fighters, and NSMBWii pretty much every time. Occasionally go karting.

I really love NSMBWii.

3D Land scares me though. Some parts look freaking awesome. A handheld game that looks more than a little like SMG? HAWT!

Other parts don't instill much confidence. It looks pretty slow paced for a Mario, and levels seem to be really short.

Still... EAD Tokyo.

I'd have to be an idiot to say they can't make a badass Mario.

 

[Emitan]

If you don't want short levels why do you like SMB3?

 

[WillyFive]

SMB3 was one of his first impressions, so nostalgia takes over.

 

[Gravijah]

nsmbw flaws:

good, not great, music
a very boring art style
a LOT of boring stages

 

[Boney]

think the first 2 worlds are really bland, with 3 being okayish.

Swamp land is hideous as well.

But boy, the rest is just pure gold.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Pretty much. Hah!

 

[BowieZ]

If the first worlds of NSMBWii are bland, then the first few worlds of SMB3/SMW are even blander.

I swear some of you are just insanely swayed by your hatred for the art style. Shame.

Spoiler

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (aka Super Mario: Yossy Island) is a better Mario game than all of them.

no, in smw you start on a tropical island with awesome stuff. in smb3 the first world has all kinds of weird scenery.

i hope you guys realize that is fake lol.

 

[Ranger X]

You guys are late in the news, for the non nostalgia driven people with great taste it's...

1- NSMBW
2- SMB3
3- SMBW


You can also take "NSMBW" for "new super mario bros world" if ever it makes you like it more.

Spoiler

I think the SMB3 vs World question that is in every fucking Mario thread is actually debatable. No true answer will ever come out.

I agree with your spoiler.

Both are awesome games. It just comes down to which imprinted sooner methinks. I nostalgia hard when I think of the Frog suit or the Boot.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Super Mario Galaxy is the best 2D Mario game. But aren't we here to talk about these videos of the first 3D Mario game?

 

[BowieZ]

I'm pretty sure Kuribo's Shoe will be in this game.

Maybe you'll have to collect all the star coins to unlock it.

 

[PKrockin]

It does? All I can remember are those hills in the background...

The first level has a wooden floor and all those weird blocks that seem to be screwed into the backdrop and the unnatural bushes. It looks artificial.

The second level is all green, rolling hills with slopes and valleys everywhere.

The third level looks basically the same as the first.

The fourth level is basically composed entirely of bricks, flying wooden platforms, and spiral clouds in the background.

The fifth level is some kind of snowy/white underground half-flooded cavern.

Finally the sixth level is a bunch of wooden platforms that are suspended from the unseen ceiling, held in the air by pillars, or attached to the background on wires.
