Thread 725061649

These both released the same year. People will unironically try to tell you the top is better

i mean, yeah? some people might prefer that style of gameplay? i'm not sure how them releasing in the same year have anything to do with peoples preferences they're two completely different games

>These both released the same year
Wrong.

Why do the palm trees look like shitty low poly models when they're sprites

Mario looks like a fucking Atari game while Sonic looks like a Saturn game

Intentional design choice likely that works well with the parallax scrolling that is used heavily in Sonic's early outings. Notice how many layers there are in the background to apply a sense of depth and scale versus the relatively flat background in SMW.

>>725061919
so you're judging them on art alone?

>>725061649 (OP)
Yeah, but which one stood the test of time? Mario World is still played in kaizo and Mario Maker form, while people only like the very first stage of Sonic

>>725061649 (OP)
Smw was a rushed launch title but randomizers have salvaged its reputation. Sonic was factually better than smw at the time. Smb3 is better than both

top is better because it's more fun
sonic was never really fun

>>725061919
Mario plays like a Super Nintendo game while Sonic plays like a Sega game. That's all that ever needs to be said and if you don't get it you're a massive sega fanboy.

Sonic 1 is boring and the later half of the game is pure dogshit. Yea it has nice graphics and music but is that really enough to be better?

>release two years after Mario World
>no saves
Sonic is the most polished Atari-like platformer ever made

>>725061919
>Sonic looks like a Saturn game
That's true. The Saturn was such a shitty piece of hardware.

SMW felt like a huge game and Sanic felt like a very small, short game.

bottom looks messy and cluttered and it plays like shit

>>725061649 (OP)
all the super mario world romhacks are just brand new levels because the core gameplay is so fun people want to push it to the limit
all the sonic 1 romhacks are just "I replaced sonic with some other character" or "I fixed all the bugs" in this game like how sonic can kill himself by running too fast for the game to load in so he touches the death boundary instead

the actual comparison is sonic 2 or 3 vs smw, much like how people compare sonic adventure to mario 64 instead of sunshine

>>725061649 (OP)
90% of the levels in Sanic are gay. You got Green hill where you can go fast, then the rest is slow garbage. Marble Hill and Labryinth Zone are especially dogshit.

One time I had a salesman at my local games store try and push Mario World and a Super Nintendo. He had it side to side with Sonic and was really desperately trying to get me to buy the Super Nintendo with Mario World, telling me how colorful it was. I ended up going with Sonic

>>725061649 (OP)
Can you please stay on this board and not come back to /vr/?

>>725061649 (OP)
Top had better gameplay and was more fun to play.

>Super Mario World has 96 levels
>Sonic the Hedgehog has 57 levels

>>725061919
graphics are the domain of the scam artist

>>725061649 (OP)
The level shown at the bottom is one of only two good levels in the entire game. The other is Starlight.

SMW has always been ass for babies.
3 mogs the shit out of it.

Yes? The top is like 3 times as long and has some really inspired levels for an early 90s platformer. Sonic 1 peaks in the first zone

Sonic the Hedgehog does kinda blow. Sonic 2, on the other hand. Hoo boy.

>>725061649 (OP)
>People will unironically try to tell you the top is better
It didn't work back then, there's a reason why Sonic managed to make the Megadrive and Sega a real competitor against Nintendo. Even if the first Sonic had a lot of hit or miss stages, they were all memorable.

>>725061862
Robotnik turned them into robots. He turned EVERYTHING into robots.

>>725061649 (OP)
I never liked how the background in that sonic stage looked distorted? too big? mixels? idk

>>725061649 (OP)
That shit was literally 40 years ago man. What the fuck? Who the fuck still cares? Are you gonna argue about VHS and beta next?

>>725066149
>VHS normalfag still obsessed

>>725061649 (OP)
The top is better.

>>725061649 (OP)
Mario World is the better game, though, it has more refined gameplay, way, way more stages, and greater replay value. Mario's formula had already been perfected with Super Mario Bros. 3, while Sonic the Hedgehog (a good game as well) was SEGA's first Sonic attempt.

I miss the SEGA × Nintendo days, it's such a shame SEGA left the hardware business and Nintendo was forced out of the main console market and only make companion platforms / handhelds now to avoid competing with PlayStation and Xbox.

>>725061649 (OP)
it is
sonic killed sega
lol

>>725062106
It looked better, that's about it. The two can't really be compared in any way except graphics anyway. They're fundamentally different types of games.

Is OP Auster?
