Super Mario World was AKA Mario's Vacations Island. I will admit that many of Nintendo previous games was a lot better in art and design then later games but that is only because MANY OF NINTENDO'S ORIGINAL IP ARE COP-OFFS.
Yoshi for example was taken from this game Dragon-egg for the PCE.
Super Mario Land cover art is really the cover art of that MarK III racer.
Super Mario Brothers 2 really meant to bring Mario games to the Orient.
Super Mario Brothers 3 is really SMB2 because the real "Lost levels" is just an revamp of the first game.
The tiles, the stage, the set, the everything about SMB3 is what sets it apart. It was probably the first game to be done differently were Mario would save a different kingdom in the Mushroom world ( not just the Mushroom Kingdom ). So each area was like it's own mini-game world.
About the Koopa Kids designs. Personally I like the fact the Koopa kids/cousins all fought with wands but was slightly different. Also I like the fact that each kid had control over an different region of the world.
without an doubt Skyland ( with the reggae island beat down below ) was probably the most nicest level in the entire game next to.......that is why the game is sooo auwsome.......Their was parana-plant world. The Koopa troopa army. The DOOOOMMMMM SSHIIIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!,..lets not forget the RANDOM FIGHTS WITH THE HAMMER BROTHERS AND TOADS GAMBLING HOUSE. I mean OMGSH SMB3 for the Win.
SMW had it's challenges but those last things I mention about three just blows World out of the water. World was more like an grim-reminder of things and what was to come from Nintendo. I do not really think Nintendo made another real Mario game asides Wario Land 3 ( which is probably more better then World and almost great as SMB3 ( in fact the game had so many things including the mini-games, and the extras next to Smarioland 2 ).
I mean World kinda was annoyingly challenging for an game itself. Like an typical walk in the park.
If you have ever played "Popful Mail" the original game or even "Kirby Deluxe:Dyna Blade " you would understand what I mean. SMB3 had so much going for it, you can not hate it.
SMW yeah SMW had some secrets and challenges but that is about it. It has so much lack of creativity and is just plain annoying to remember.
IF THEIR IS ONE THING GOOD ABOUT MARIO WORLD IT IS THE A.I. The A.I. is one thing I really enjoyed about the game itself. The fishes would wake up or go to sleep. The Charging enemies would try different things to get you. The supa-koopas would maneuver. Yoshi would get scared and while scared even eat fruits?? I mean it was an crazy mess of A.I. in SMWorld. I mean SMB3 had some A.I. here and their but not like.
Also one world for this entire paragraph I wrote.
KURUBO SHOE. After that along with the Hammer Brothers costume. Their is no way in this world that SMW could ever stand up to the grace and insanity that SMB3 was. I will even say this; the game was pirated like crazy on the famicom.
Even All-Stars is better then World without SMB3. I mean World was great and all but seriously all we got to see was Bowser got himself a flying top. I mean great Bowser broke his legs back in SMB3 as well.
I love both, in fact i've beaten every single Mario game(including hacks like Mario Adventure and Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii), but without question SMB3 is my favourite Mario game. I love World, blew my mind as a kid when it came out, but Mario 3 did that too and it had so many awesome powerups and strange secrets. Also given the difficulty it was more rewarding to beat. Both are amazing but 3 couldn't be any more perfect.
Also to the guy who claims SMB3 has aged poorly i call BS. If the graphics are the issue you could also play the All Stars version which has SNES quality graphics. If it's gameplay you think is archaic then i think you just mean it isn't easy enough. It's such a great game i just can't understand that complaint, perhaps it's my age.
