Title

Super Mario World is a beautiful, bright and joyful gem of a game. You can sense the genius that went into it right away, and the deeper you go into new worlds and unfurling secrets, the more impressive it becomes. The addition of Yoshi adds a whimsical joy to going through these levels and it adds a more complex challenge to beat levels and find secrets. With all that said, you can't talk about Super Mario World without comparing it to its direct predecessor, and you can tell by my ratings (although I'm sure no one is actually looking), that I think Super Mario Bros. 3 is the better game. To me it comes down to two things: The bite sized platforming goodness of 3 and the perfect difficulty. Super Mario World is more about exploration and the novelty of replaying levels for secrets. If that is the most important to you, you will pick this game. If you enjoy perfect platforming and strategic difficulty, 3 will be your game. I love that we have both of these games, and they are different enough while sharing the same DNA. Both gaming masterpieces to me. Long live Mario.

    Starting to appreciate the food-flavoured aesthetic more as I get older.

    I just played/beat this for the first time (not 100%), and it really feels like a game that will shine on future playthroughs when I'm more able to really master the movement. I wasn't able to consistently achieve cape flight until the very end of the game, which I finally got the hang of while farming lives in Donut Plains 1. I can only imagine the game really opens up with a little bit more mastery of the mechanics and some knowledge of secrets from the get go. For now Mario 3 remains my favorite 2D Mario, but I expect with repeat playthroughs I'll better appreciate this game's looser, more open-ended style

    it's so satisfying to have the multiple exits and the star world with its extra difficulty

    goat platformer but I do find it a bit annoying that your jumps don't carry momentum unless you're in the middle of a full dash
