Topic: NSMBW or SPM?

Both of them are in 2D (SPM 2D and 3D). But which do you prefer? New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Super Paper Mario?

I personally find NSMBW better, since that's a proper 2D Mario platformer, for me at least.

I was unimpressed with both: felt like pale shadows of Super Mario World and Paper Mario.

I enjoyed NSMBW more, but they are both 9.5/10 for me.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Aren't they different kinds of games? I thought Super Paper Mario was an RPG?

I liked Super Paper Mario more; the humour was quite brilliant and it actually had a decent plot; plus I can't get the Flipside music out of my head. Although it's a got a few RPG elements bolted on it's still basically a platformer deep down, and a great one at that. NSMBW is perhaps a little bit more hardcore and more fun with multiple players though.

Super Paper Mario is sort of both. It's a platformer, but it has a lot of RPG elements.

i think they are both pretty great

Super Paper Mario, being one of the most achingly tedious games I've ever played, doesn't even deserved to be mentioned in the same sentence as NSMBW.

IMHO of course.

I was disappointed with both also. I'd say NSMBW though. If it was against Paper Mario 64 though it have no chance and the answer would be Paper Mario.

I'd go for Paper Mario 2, but yes - you are right.

NSMBW by infinity.

^ Or what the chicken assassin said.

I dunno....you know super paper mario to me, was more shallow than the other ones....and the different style was...meh.. but I still enjoyed it and a sequel could be possible and be more refined.

New super mario bros. Wii is defiantly more fun with multiple players...so yeah both are great =P

I liked them both really...NSMBWii was pretty much a time machine for me. XD
SPM had a lot of humor and randomness, good story. (and some freaky flower boss. o_0)

Both are great.

NSMBWii is a "funner" game when in multiplayer and it has a TON of re-playability value.

SPM is a "fuller" game, longer, and a 1-player gem. Like Bell said, it's very random and full of humor. Probably the best story in a Mario game this side of SMRPG.

What Sean said. You can't really compare to completely different games.

I think they are to different to compare like that. However the better game would be NSMBW only because it kind of brings back a World feel to it.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Super Paper Mario was too much of a change from the first two games. The platforming helped me beat it, but beyond that it was too weird.

Super Paper Mario easily. The music was brilliant, the quirky humour was great, loved the characters and funky plot, it was totaly fun and the art style was fantastic. But, it was too heavy on the text, the transition to 3D can get annoying at times since you keep thinking you've missed something, and a few levels are alittle bland, and there are some tedious moments for sure.

NSMBWii...Alot of you know how i feel about this game. I felt like I've played it all before with the DS version. Creativity? Zero, Music? mediocre for the most part, challenge? Not really. It's a good game don't get me wrong, but it's a lazy effort and in no way compares to SMB1,2,3 and World, since each of those games were so different and a big step up from the last.

But again, NSMBWii has amazing controls, and i really liked some of the motion controls as well, not to mention the Koopa kids are back, the level design in alot of the later levels are very clever and the best yet compared to any Mario game. But the crazy amount of 1-ups and power ups the game gives you ruins the challenge and intesity ect ect. ...Super Paper Mario was a much better experience to me. But ya wanna know what 2D Platformer beats both?

Wario Land Shake it!

I think they were both great but NSMBW was LOADS better than SPM.
