Super Mario 3 or Super Mario World : which is better? - Wii U Forum

I recently purchased both and it's my first time playing them in years. I have to say, Super Mario 3 for the NES is much better than Super Mario World. Main reason I think this is so is because it's so much more challenging. Super Mario World is the first of many Mario games that is made way too easy. To be fair, I purchased the Game Boy Advanced version, which might be slightly different than the SNES but it's way too easy. By the second world, I already had like 20 1UPS. I think Super Mario 3 was ahead of its time and so well put together. Plus, the Koopa Kids look awful in Super Mario World and nothing like what they looked like in the instruction manual. The color schemes are way off. They looked so much better in the NES game despite graphical limitations.

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.

SMB3. I prefer the level design and focus of it. SMW had some weird mechanics too. It just didn't feel as good to control Mario.

So Anakin kneels before Monster Mash and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash.
