Why did zoomers reject it?

>>713672415 (OP)
What are you even talking about?
I love Mario 3.

This is my favorite game of all time so I'll throw my hat in the ring.
>clears throat
My generation hates this game because they're faggots with zero taste. That's it! And every single time I see some jackass complain about the game being "too difficult" all I do is roll my eyes. Because honestly, it's one of the easiest fucking games on the whole console. Sure, it's hard at points - but there's not a single bullshit/unfair moment in the entire game. From beginning to end it's just masterful game design. And it BTFO's Super Mario World completely. (A game I think is way too fucking easy.)

Too much gameplay, not enough trannies or dykes

>>713672415 (OP)
Not all zoomers but a large portion just cannot play NES. It doesn't matter if the game is good. SMB3 used to be held higher than World but there's an age block on the 3rd/4th console generation where there's just this obstinant refusal to engage with the NES. You can see it in how SMW has taken the nearly even ratio from before and now completely overtaken SMB3. It's sad and at some point the same behavior will be shifted one console generation further and SNES will be treated with the same laziness zoomers are treating NES with right now.

Why is this site so obsessed with what zoomers think and do?

>>713672415 (OP)
Why do you make assumptions about a group of people and assert it as fact?

For me, it's World 7

As a somewhat early zoomer, disagree
Movement is more precise in World at the cost of the momentum from Mario 3. (comes down to taste, but I prefer the movement of Mario 3 to World)
Mario had way more interesting powerups in 3 compared to World (where most were relegated to Yoshi)
Mario 3's later levels pushed the player more, in a fun way, than those in World.
Powerups mattered WAY more in 3 than World thanks to how they were paced out. Being caped up almost all the time in World kind of hurt some of its challenge.

>>713676280
>Movement is more precise in World at the cost of the momentum from Mario 3.
I see where you're coming from but I thought it was more stiff than precise. But I also think SMB3's controls are the best a platformer has ever controlled in history so there's some bias there. :)
>Mario 3's later levels pushed the player more, in a fun way, than those in World.
No argument here, this is one of the main reasons I'm not a huge fan of World. When the game should be testing your mettle it's just about as difficult as World 4 in Mario 3. And the one moment that I thought WAS hard in World (that castle with the skewers) is more bullshit difficulty rather than fair in my opinion.

I got used to Mario 1 and Mario Land physics and can't really play the other games.

>>713672415 (OP)
SMB1 mogs this piece of shit

World 6, 7 and 8 are legit too hard for zoomies

>>713676871
>I see where you're coming from but I thought it was more stiff than precise
Stiff is definitely a better word choice, just couldnt think of it in the moment. Ironically enough, you kind of see this dynamic play out in the 3D Mario games as well with the difference between 64 and Odyssey in terms of how moves like the longjump give you more momentum in a defining older entry, whereas the newer entry seem to lessen the momentum for more precision (World faltering here a bit, resulting in the controls feeling more stiff like you described)
And I definitely feel its one of the best feeling 2D platformers made. How Nintendo did this at the end of the NES is incredible.
>that castle with the skewers is more bullshit difficulty rather than fair
Absolutely. Just one of the things, besides the controls not feeling as good as Mario 3 personally speaking, that kind of kills my motivation to replay it.

shit, dont open GIF if you have epilepsy or are in a dark room. Hits like a flashbang.
Completely forgot what it was

>>713677450
Which world had the level where you turn all the blocks to coins and then have to fly up to the hidden door to beat it?

>>713677679
>How Nintendo did this at the end of the NES is incredible.
Funnily enough it wasn't even the end of the console's life. SMB3 originally came out in 1988 in Japan, two years before the SF!
>Absolutely. Just one of the things, besides the controls not feeling as good as Mario 3 personally speaking, that kind of kills my motivation to replay it.
My main problem was how utterly reliant the game was on the cape. It's a fine powerup in moderation, but that's the key word here: moderation. You get it way too often and with a bit of practice (the cape really isn't hard to maneuver) you can essentially skip entire levels. It's fun in terms of gameplay but from a design perspective it utterly baffles me why it was even included.
>>713677838
Ah it's fine man! Honestly it didn't particularly bother me, but that's good you gave a heads up for anyone else in the thread.
>>713677949
World 7, that level killed me a few times before I figured the puzzle out. It's a devilish level to be sure. :p

>>713672415 (OP)
skill issue, zoomies only like walking sims and movie game like KEK OF WAR and The Last Faggots US.

There are too many powerups for my liking; they taint the platforming purity of SMB1. It's like if Pac-Man had ten alternating gimmicky forms.

>>713672415 (OP)
For me it's the eReader levels

>>713672415 (OP)
this game was fun partly because it DID filter me. Not everything should be a cakewalk...

because super mario bros 3 is STUPIDLY difficult

>>713678461
>furfag pfp
Opinion not even up for consideration, straight into the trash. Just force that faggot to play Ghosts 'n' Goblins' first two levels and he'll be singing a real different tune.

>>713678152
>SMB3 originally came out in 1988 in Japan, two years before the SF!
That makes it even more impressive to me. Smoothest controlling NES game by far.
>My main problem was how utterly reliant the game was on the cape
It definitely felt like they gave the player too much power with the cape, but my guess is that is was for broader appeal as they knew more hardcore players may opt out of using it if they wanted a challenge. (Doesnt excuse how abundant it feels, but c'est la vie)
>Ah it's fine man! Honestly it didn't particularly bother me, but that's good you gave a heads up for anyone else in the thread.
Glad to hear at least one person didnt get a seizure from it.
Here have this gif instead.

>>713672415 (OP)
Here's the real truth nuke. Most zoomers don't care about your old slop, but the ones who do are pushing these games to their limit. The majority of today's NES speedrunners are under 18, most notably for SMB1.

>>713673401
Toxotransmosis moment.

>>713678698
>but my guess is that is was for broader appeal
That was my guess too. Super Mario World *is* quite a bit more casual than 3, after all.
>>713678856
>"old slop"

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>713678913
>1988 is not old slop

Concession has been accepted.

>>713678152
>World 7
That level got me good. Also fuck those spinning red stick things

>>713679003
>>>doesn't address the actual point
Why bother? You're calling an objectively well designed game slop. Age does not matter here. If a game is designed well, it WILL stand the test of time. Reserve calling stuff slop for stuff like LJN, or most of the sewage waste getting pumped out nowadays.

>>713678856
this site is allergic to smb1 and tetris zoomers because it ruins their narrative

I prefer if they don't. Most Tetris adults aren't degenerate as fuck like people here.

I just gave you an argument. I said it's a well designed game that isn't slop. Is that not an argument?

Yah I'll take the loss on that one, it's late at night and I'm tired. :P

Why do so many people hate the auto scroll levels? Maybe it's just reviewers

>>713679329
The quality of the game is subjective and irrelevant. OP's stance is zoomers don't care about SMB3 (and likely other NES games) when they're currently the ones playing them the most.

>>713675569
Both vertically and horizontally, by the way.

>>713679450
>Why do so many people hate the auto scroll levels? Maybe it's just reviewers
I guess you can argue they're a bit of a pacebreaker but it's inconsequential at best.
>>713679464
>when they're currently the ones playing them the most.
Apologies if I misunderstood, but out of all of the other zoomers I've talked to online not a lot of them like NES or retro games in general. I highly doubt that Gen Z are the ones playing Mario 3 the most.

>>713672415 (OP)
kids just arent drawn to shit older than them. Was born in 87 and seeing a movie that was clearly filmed in the 70s or 80s just instantly caused me to lose interest

>>713679625
Mario 3 isn't very long. Like most old games there isn't much to do once you beat them. If you want to look at who's "playing them the most" you have to look at the speedtrannies.

There's also no reason for zoomers to care about a game released before they were born. I never see people here seethe about millennials never playing Atari 2600 shit.

>>713679840
>70s or 80s
You're missing out on some good movies

>>713679868
>There's also no reason for zoomers to care about a game released before they were born
It bums me out that they don't, honestly. I grew a lot more appreciation for SMB3 and old media as a whole when I started looking at it with a historical lens instead of purely by the standards of today.
>you have to look at the speedtrannies.
I'd rather not. They suck the fun out of old games with little exception.
>I never see people here seethe about millennials never playing Atari 2600 shit.
The 2600 has plenty of fun games though very few I'd call essential. Pitfall is the only one that comes to mind as one I'd call "essential".

>>713678461
It's easier if you get the gba version.

>>713672415 (OP)
Most overrated Mario game in existence, Even Mario 64 has more going for it that is worth worshipping compared to this barebones and frankly messy entry.

>>713672415 (OP)
Because it's 10 years older than they are at the very least
>>713679208
Tetris is a fun game. It's perfect for when you want to absent mindedly do something while you think or listen to an audiobook.
>>713679625
The autoscroll levels simply aren't fun, they don't really serve a purpose and some of them are tedious as fuck.
