Is it truly the best mario game of all time?

Yes.

No. Best Yoshi game by a mile but as far as Mario goes? It has to compete with SMB3, World, RPG, PM64, SM64, etc, the list goes on.

Yes, it's pure soul.

>>713406941 (OP)
With the pacifier romhack yes it is

>>713406941 (OP)
lil zoomie got ocd

>>713407149
>romhack that removes punishment for being bad at the game

>>713406941 (OP)
No, but it's one of the very best platformers of all time, and the best Mario Spinoff.

>>713406941 (OP)
Yea but Mario World where Mario gets superman feathers is equally great too. I hate the cat themed Marios they are the worst.

>>713406941 (OP)
It's a game that makes you think "Wow that was a great Super Nintendo game" but somehow you don't feel like replaying it like SMB3 or SMW.
Maybe it's the lack of power-ups or alternate paths, I mean the game has power-ups, but they're more like temporary weapons.

>>713406941 (OP)
overrated with a lot of questionable design choices
10/10 aesthetics though

it's boring easy ugly garbage and the worst thing yoshi has even been featured in. literally mario is missing is better.

>>713408327
it's the difficulty

>>713408418
I remember it being harder than SMW, or at least the latter-half.

>>713408397
mario is missing is one of the better snes games so that's not saying much

>>713406941 (OP)
its not even better than SMW. feels like shit to play because you are constantly stopping your movement to aim eggs or catch your retarded crying worthless companion. there is no flow and no challenge besides anally checking every nook and cranny for completionist autism which isnt fucking platforming. the only thing great about it is the art style and music. in terms of actual gameplay and level design its absolutely raped and auramogged by even SMB1, forget about 3.

>>713408450
Yes Yoshi's island is a lot harder than SMW

DKC>>>>>power gap>>>>SMW>>>>power gap>>>>yoshis island

>Nintendo meeting 30 years ago
>"Alright fellas, Super Mario World was a major success. What should we do for the sequel?"
>"How about instead of a sequel, it's a PREQUEL! And Mario is a literal crying baby and he rides on Yoshi, PERMANTELY for the entire game! Instead of jumping on enemies to kill them, Yoshi can shoot eggs directly at enemies faces and kill them without having to even move!"

>>713406941 (OP)
Not a Mario game, but it's literally on par with the best Mario games

>>713408674
it was more like
>uhh you guys Rare is making us look like complete and utter retards. DKC looks and plays 100x better than anything we developed for our console, and they didnt even cheat with special mapper chips to do it. how we can possibly cope I mean compete with this
>lets make a retarded baby game with pretty colors and the baby makes an incredibly loud and high pitched wail every time you get touched by anything

>>713408780
>not a mario game
>mario is literally riding your back the entire time
>has a powerup where you literally control mario
>title of the game is literally super mario world 2

>>713408858
You're controlling yoshi for a majority of the game so it's a Yoshi game, not a Mario game. You are fucking delusional

>>713408998
I played through all of mario 3d world as peach. I guess thats not a mario game either?

>>713408662
dkc is basic bitch eurojank-tier

>>713409495
Wow so you actually are retarded. The protagonist of a game is whoever the player is controlling. If you played as Peach then that would make it a Peach game. Does that make sense to you?

>>713409495
>he played 3d world as peach
you didn't beat the game

>>713409841
honestly youre right, i didnt like the fact I was playing on easy mode but my waifufaggery wouldnt allow me to switch off regardless.

>feels like shit to play because you are constantly stopping your movement to aim eggs or catch your retarded crying worthless companion.
Do I need to say it?
