Does it actually live up to the hype?

>>714791429 (OP)
One of the best platformers.

>>714791429 (OP)
Way too easy.

I'll be blunt, Vanilla smw is something i view the same as vanilla doom1 and doom2, stuff that's monumental for their time, but anything smw is easily outdone through romhacks that elevate the game on such a stratospherical degree that coming back to the original games is a chore.
Though if you have not (somehow) played it, give it a try, it's pretty easy aside from 1 level, but to say it lives up to its hype? I doubt it, game's just an alright fun experience.

This game is propped up exclusively by a shadow council of brazilians who deem it the best thing ever because they played it on their PS2s when they were 5

>>714791794
Got any essential hack lists similar to the one for Doom/Fire Emblem?

>>714791429 (OP)
It holds up but the cape trivializes like half the game.

>>714791794
This is how you talk when you never play vidya yourself but watch streamers 24/7

>>714791429 (OP)
the best 2d platformer ever made

I prefer yoshi’s island

I prefer Luigi's Mansion

this game is so old as to be outdated and not worthy of your time

>>714793245
I've played enough games that so called masterpieces are just alright games (and vice versa for bad games).

>>714797146
I aware you the most retarded post of the day.
which being in 4chan is a real feat.

why he slippery

>>714797782
dont aware me shit retard

>>714797878
Why does 4chan keep saying SMW is slippery? It's a very snappy game, especially compared to 1 and 3, which feel like you're constantly on ice.

>>714791429 (OP)
It's a fun game, but I enjoyed it more when I was a lad

>>714791429 (OP)
It's alright but not quite as impressive as SMB3

I’m getting filtered by it. And used to beat without dying as a kid on an original hardware.

>>714797878
That was the NDS Mario. SNES Mario is tight!

>>714791429 (OP)
Yes. I personally thing the first Mario is the best because it's something you can beat in an hour, but I think Mario World does the long form game better than Mario 3.

3 is better

>>714791429 (OP)
Great game, but 3 had more soul and was a more impressive achievement given the limitations of the NES.

>>714791429 (OP)
I 100%'d the GBA version and pity anyone who dropped the game after beating Bowser without realizing the star levels exist. They're by far the best part of the game.

>>714802009
100%. star worlds were kino

>>714803915
>you are a super player!!!
I was a kid. I'll remember that moment forever

>>714791429 (OP)
Excellent game.

>>714791429 (OP)
This seems like safe space to talk about this.

I always get lost in the woods and stop playing. I have been emulating this game since the early 00's and always stop there.
Now I could look up a quick guide, but I kind of had my fill of it. There are more "fun" platformers out there. It took nearly 2 decades to get those platformers, so its in no way a stab at Mario, but if my kid would want to play Mario, that boy is getting Wonder or a 3d mario

>>714806210
dude just look up the exit wtf

>>714806210
if you go in circles 10 times in the woods, it eventually lets you out.

>>714791429 (OP)
>Does it actually live up to the hype?

No.

>>714791429 (OP)

>>714791429 (OP)
the GOAT

>>714791429 (OP)
yes absolutely. i don't have strong emotional connections to many by-the-books mario games (i.e. not the spinoffs), but SMW is an exception. that games gets everything right

>>714806210
try experimenting with verticality. you'll eventually find a key and a keyhole.

Calador rule

>play Mario World
>Get 96 on the file screen
>Think I have to collect all the Dragon Coins to get 100

>>714791429 (OP)
It's good but I still like 3 more, slightly

>>714791429 (OP)
Yes

>>714810256
What was with SNES games and having retarded completion statistics? There's this and shit like DKC's 101%.

>>714791429 (OP)
*yaaaaaawwwn*

>>714813207
It's not a percentage, that's the exit count.
DKC1 had 101%, DKC2 had 102, DKC3 had 103%. Rare thought they were being cheeky is all.

>>714813612
bruh sonic 1? thats not even the best sonic game on the genesis

>>714797146
nah this is probably the game that has aged the best in the history of videogames.

Yoshi's Island and Mario 64 are the only good Mario platformers simply because they understood how to combine linear with exploration. You don't just up a featureless alternate route platform and feel like you're exploring, you're just doing it because it's there and you feel nothing taking that route. You explore shit in Yoshi's/64 because the games are actual fucking detailed beautiful worlds and you want to look at everything.

>>714797957
>Why does 4chan keep saying SMW is slippery?
Emulators fucking up the feel of the game. Nothing like playing on real hardware.

>>714814217
It's "first sonic on the genesis versus first mario on the snes"

>>714813612
What is the better game: SMW or SMB3?

>>714807230
Pretty genius level design considering the SNES limitations.

>>714813612
kek if it was sonic 2 or 3 instead it'd be believable
not even sonic fans like sonic 1 that much. it falls off a cliff after green hill

>>714791429 (OP)
It's one of the best 2D Marios.

Wonder > World > SMB3 > NSMB DS

>>714815115
>it falls off a cliff after green hill
*yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwn*

>have to reach the 3rd area before time hits 250 to get the secret key
I never knew this but somehow always got it

>>714816206
I honestly dont know that I've ever seen these.
