The Notorious M-A-G. Thanks man, for taking the time to compile this list, tally votes and track it all. It has brought back many MANY memories and helped with a few games I totally forgot about. Your voice is much deeper than I thought it'd be, I dunno why I thought any of that tbh.
As long as you are doing this, you can count me in as an active participant. This is fun stuff, and I really enjoy talking games with others. Don't have many friends IRL who still play games, or don't even care to discuss them because "adulting". Pfft, fuck that. Easy 5 for me. I remember not knowing WTF was going on for the first couple days of playing it. It was so radically different than what we knew as Mario Bros...... but for the better IMO! Each character having unique strengths and weaknesses, I felt, led to deeper gameplay. Princess Peach would make some levels stupid easy, while Luigi's super jump made others even easier. Rarely did I ever play as Mario or Toad. I think I played Toad on the 2nd world due to his super fast digging speed. I've always wanted a sequel in the same style, maybe add a few new characters in the mix from over the years and give them abilities too! It'd be the shit. Also want a Super Mario RPG sequel damnit! But that's for another thread. |

Ending with something that I HAVE played!
I'll give it a 4, cause I loved the style, the music, and everything. I actually enjoyed playing it more than the original Mario..... not more than Mario 3 or Mario World though.... |

Deserves nothing less than a 4.
I think you should continue the game after a break. |

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the Shy Guys and Snifits the only things from this entry that carried over to other games? I know Mouser and Triclyde were in the cartoon but they never popped up in another game.

3. Too different and didn’t feel like a Mario title. Was basically a different game with Mario thrown into it for Western markets.

Some of the concepts like Luigi being a higher/farther jumper and Peach floating have been in other games

This game actually made Luigi a unique individual.... before he was just a palette swapped Mario. This game made him the taller one with longer jumps

I like how as the franchise went on Luigi is the one that has a much more developed personality than his brother. Mario is just your typical smiling nice guy hero. Luigi actually has character in that he's a bit of a scaredy-cat but trying to be more like his brother despite it all.

As a former tpww game runner i can understand if you want to wrap this up. If you do this is high not of a game to go out on. That said i enjoy these threads and im always happy to see a new one.

I get this sentiment but I'm trying to picture what the reaction would've been if we had gotten the actual Japanese sequel. Playing the Lost Levels after this entry kind of makes me glad they went the route they did because it was too similar to the original entry.

Lost levels just isn't fun, really.
It's more of just "Let's make nearly-impossible levels and" yeah, that's about it. I've played through it on All Stars. The reward for the hours and hours of punishment is not worth it |

Lost levels is a very bad game and i LOVE platforming and difficult platforming on top of that. Smb1 controls for shit but smb1 is great because it doesnt ask too much of its shitty controls. Smb2 JPN feels like shit and demands precision from a game that doesnt offer the option.

Oh, well I've only played a demo of 3D Land so I'm not an expert on it. I should probably get around to picking it up.

It isn't a terrible game, it just isn't Mario RPG.
I recall the timing mechanic to score a "2nd hit" with each character. I wouldn't know, but that was training me for the epic that is Legend of Dragoon all the years later. |

Ugh, I went back and forth on this one over what to rate it. Ultimately, I gave it another whirl on the Switch and that combined with some heavy nostalgia, I had to break down and give it a 5.
Like Super Mario World, I don't go back to this one as much as I do with Super Mario Bros. 3. I find it to be the hardest of the original NES trilogy. In fact, I beat the third game before I ever beat the other two. The thing is this game was a huge fixture in a time when I was really close to my sisters, both of whom are older than me. We didn't (and still don't) have a lot in common to bond over when we were younger but that went away when it came to Nintendo. In fact, one of my sisters joined me about year ago in playing New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on the Switch. Memories aside though, Nintendo did an awesome job repurposing the template that was Doki Doki Panic! into what we got. Playing as the different characters blew my mind, the music was catchy and memorable, the graphics were an improvement over the original, and the mechanics were fun to mess around with. Granted it didn't really mean much in overall scheme of things as a lot of what was in this game has been forgotten when it comes to making newer entries, but it meant enough. |
