I can't stand childish aesthetics, I don't understand how anyone plays these games in adulthood.

>>11910146
So true I only play dark and mature games for mature gamers like myself

>>11910146
No one asked and no one cares

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Yes but Mark Cerny created Sonic 2 so Sonic 2 wins

>>11910175
I would rather had 2 Mario levels than just one Sonic level

I love both games

These
I've been a Sonicfag from birth but SMW is my favorite 2D Mario, and I think it's on par with Sonic's best. It just offers a totally different experience, it's not comparable.

>>11910143 (OP)
Quantity does not determine quality pleb

Sonic is a tech demo. They were too focused on scrolling speed to realize that the gameplay is a dull nihilistic barrage of nothingness. I literally feel nothing while playing Sonic, it's so joyless. The fact that you effectively have infinite health and nothing matters really solidifies how empty it feels, because, surprise surprise, the ring system is also a tech demo for how many objects they could spawn on screen. On the contrast, Mario is crafted to perfection and has meaning.

Sonic quality > quantity. Mario World is bloated and dull.

>>11910146
What are your favorite retrogames?

>>11910917
What use is quality when it all plays the exact fucking same? Hell that level of Mario you posted is a single unique stage gimick out of dozens.

>>11911278
A stage like that is a 15 second segment in sonic that has more gameplay in every second than that entire stage does in 2 minutes.

>>11910143 (OP)
The absence of a save made Sonic 2 seem like a lower quality product to me as a kid, like it was a generation behind.

>>11910146
ikr i just seeing a glimpse of this kiddy shit makes me need to play DOOM to restore my adultery

>>11911379
Is that the same logic you use with your wife in bed?

>>11911426
It's the logic I use for your wife.

>>11911428
So that's why I still need to satisfy her daily?

>>11911430
That's the hierarchy of these things, she exists for me, you exist for her.

>>11910143 (OP)
legit example of games that overstay too much
quality over bloat

>>11911434
And you exist for me, now spread them cheeks boy.

Isn't it crazy how SMB3 is almost as long as World but the game doesn't let you save?

testosterone levels too low and high estrogen levels generate the desire for childish, colorful and cute games.

>>11910146
Variety is king, I can't understand the people who only play these kinds of games, just as I can't understand people who only play gritty "mature" games constantly. Having a good mix of both is good for you.

Sonic feels much longer.

>>11912707
??? how? sonic 2 you can beat casually in about an hour. SMW 2 hours minimum.

>>11912731
The stages drag on and it's MUCH harder. There's no casually beating a classic Sonic game.
I'm also curious as to how many levels it takes to beat Mario World. Of the 72 and not including completely optional ones, like JUST on the main path to Bowser how many do you need to beat?

>>11912743
>and it's MUCH harder
NTA but I don't know about that, if you aren't going for the emeralds than those games aren't really hard at all. I'd say that SMW is more challenging than Sonic 2 and is on par with Sonic 1. Sonic 2 is just piss easy aside from Wing Fortress and the last boss which I'm sure was designed to make you game over in order for the game to feel longer

>>11912743
Fastest way to get to Bowser is to take star road, which is not on the main path, but is definitely the fastest way(10-15 levels?)

Main path not including optional levels is going to be most of the levels anyway, probably 40-50

Just do it yourself or watch a Youtube video or something if you want the exact number, it's doable(how hard it is depends on your experience/skill level), and the info is out there

>>11912743
>There's no casually beating a classic Sonic game.
???

> it's MUCH harder.
lol bro the sonic genesis games are some of the easiest on the whole system. is SMW easier? probably, but the sonic games are still very easy.

>>11912787
McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure is easier than any of the Genesis Sonic games. I could even say Hyperstone Heist is easier as well.

>>11912743
If you can beat SMB1 without warps you can beat any Genesis Sonic

>>11910143 (OP)
Mario levels.
Children's levels designed for literal children and can be completed within 40 seconds.

Sonic levels.
Split into 3 long stages each with low/mid/high areas each with different levels of difficulty. A boss at the end and special stages with items that effect the ending

Sonic 2: Has Tails
Mario World: Does NOT have Tails

The choice is clear.

>>11910146
Something something I put behind me the fear of being called childish something something.

>>11910175
Cherrypicked.

>>11913378
How so? They're both the first levels of the game. If it was truly cherrypicked the mogging would be even more brutal than what is shown

>>11913387
Not true.

>>11913092
Yoshi is superior to tails in every way furfag

>>11913456
Im a mariofag but yeah no, Tails is a Luigi, Yoshi is a weird thing Miyamoto was pushing really hard on our faces during the 90's for some reason
>furfag
As if every furfag doesn't wants to fuck Yoshi too

>>11910175
The actual flaw in this picture is not understanding the substance here. Sure, there's more track in the Sonic level, but the game naturally tends to funnel the player downwards thanks to gravity. Plus with how fast Sonic's speed is, the only way you're getting to the top realistically is by making almost-random jumps in high speed areas until you've played the game over and over again to memorize WHERE you should be making those button presses and why. Plus, even ignoring all of that, Sonic will just tear through the level in mere seconds as you just simply run and press down to spin around, which will nullify 100% of the enemies on the level.

On the other hand, the Mario level appears more simple, but you're interacting more with each obstacle. Mario doesn't have Sonic's invulnerability during high speed runs, and only can do damage with a direct attack downwards unlike Sonic being able to hit from all angels. This makes it so that Mario is going to have to spend more time going a bit slower and interacting with each object/enemy on a more personal level.

tl;dr While the Mario level is seemingly flatter, it's simplistic appearance is deceptive, and the complexity is in that you'll be interacting with ALL the obstacles on a more closer basis as a casual.

>>11910246
Mogged holy shit. I didn't realize Mario's levels were so flat.
>>11913396
Scrap brain Zone shits on this.

Mario? Sonic?
Pdfft, get on my level nerds. Bigger always better.

>>11913706
These levels would be much more impressive if half of it wasn't just tubes that sonic just automatically travels through without any player input.

>>11912703
how have you never noticed that?
one of sanics main draws in its level design was the fact there was usually about 3 different routes through any given lvl

>>11913793
Box in the parts that are tubes and we can judge if it constitutes for 50% of the level.

>>11910143 (OP)
3&k is better than both

>>11914000

Why would you play these games with the con feature instead of the superior stand alone originals that have more content?

>>11914003
im not a purist sorry bro

>>11913456
>Yoshi is
Yoshi (plural) are a glorified power-up. Dumb mounts to take hits for Mario (running away when they do because they're seditious vermin), and be discarded in exchange for an extra jump.
They can't fly a biplane, they don't follow your lead in levels, and there's no 2-player mode for them to be played as.

>>11913461
sonicfag here, ill stand up for yoshi on the furfag allegations...it isnt even close which fan base is worse
