Super Mario World > Super Mario Bros 3

But it's close. SMW removed all the annoying bits of SMB3 and made them all better. And my girlfriend actually knows most of the SMW music heh...

Well, if removing difficulty from SMW makes it better then I can't say I agree, because I didn't find any part of SMB3 grating, but spots of World 8 could be a little difficult. I actually think, even at the time, the complete lack of difficulty in SMW was one of the reasons I didn't love it as much as SMB3.

That's why Princess Peach gives you Lakitu's Cloud after you beat World 2.

Yeah. I still haven't beaten that level without having to use a cloud item. Other than that, the game is awesome.

I need to play it all the way again and finally redeem myself.

Getting the SNES with SMW was one of the best Christmases ever. Top 3 for sure. I'll admit a smidge of bias. But I do love that game. It is a bit on the easy side compared to SMB3, but to this day, I love just popping it in now and then to get that 100% and see how fast I can do it. I really liked how the map worked, almost taunting you with those red pathways between stages you didn't "really" beat. "You missed the hidden exit, f*cker! Go find that Key!" When I was little, knowing there were all these hidden paths and stuff made it a lot of fun to explore the levels, where in older Mario games, I mostly just wanted to beat them. It was a fun new wrinkle for me. I only had a handful of games back then, so other than weekend rentals, I had to play the same stuff over and over, and somehow, I never got bored with or sick of that game. I had a Game Genie, too, so whenever playing it "for real" wasn't appealing, I loved trying to force goofy sh*t to happen by mixing up all different codes. Good times.

I'm amazed how much of that game sticks out in my memory, still, because it's one of those games like Turtles In Time for me that I don't even have to think about playing, your hands just kind of Do It through muscle memory, y'know?

It's all good though, obviously not everyone had the same experience with or nostalgia for that game as I do. That game, though, legit, helped get me through some really rough patches in my young life. Parents splitting up, forced relocation, all that mess. So I have absolutely nothing but love for it.

nope
But I never had a snes and have only played a few levels. Pretty good from what I've played. SMB3 is awesome though.

Ditto. Christmas of 1992 for me.

Super Mario World is amazing. While I haven't kept up with each new Mario game over the years, of everything I've played, I don't think I've seen it topped.

It's hard to communicate just how amazing this game, with all its quirks and secret levels, was as a kid. It has a sense of adventure and mystery I don't think I've seen matched in a platformer. And it has some genuine challenge to boot, though I admit it feels a bit easy going back to it as an adult.

One of the best parts of SMW is the remix music when you ride Yoshi. Also, when you jump on enemies that make that "BWOWN!" noise, which they brought back for the Charging Chucks in SM3DW.

My greatest satisfaction in that game was beating the Tubular level in the Special World.

Ugh, mine too.

Tubular is a god-damn monster. It's total trial and error.

Has anyone ever tried to play Groovy (level in the title screen) just like it was played in the demo? Haha.

As a 10 year old I hated that level with a passion. Even now I still do.

I think I remember being stuck there for months and being upset that I couldn't skip it to play the rest of the levels in Special world. I don't know why they made that level the second one of the world, since it was much harder than all the ones that came after it.
