Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I like 3D World, but it gives me the same vibe as the New Super Mario series: a multiplayer "party" game spinoff experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstralSoul | 502 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 3D World is one that really grew on me over time. I thought it was rather forgettable the first time I played it but over time I found myself going back to it and with the rerelease on Switch with Bowser's Fury included it quickly became one of my favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor | 855 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 OK, i'm ranking based off the list that @Makarlinked. Best to worst. This was harder than i thought it would be, because there's so much quality here. Tried to tier them off. LOVE LOVE LOVE 10/10: SMB3 SM World SM64 SM Galaxy GREAT GAMES I WILL GO BACK TO REGULARLY:SMB SM Land 2 NSMB2 (i liked that million coin aspect, even if i never accomplished that) SM3D World (**haven't played the Bowser's Fury content**) SOLID BUT UNCOMMON REPLAYS: SMB2 (J) NSMB Wii NSMB SMB2 (USA) SM3D Land NSMBU + Super Luigi U (the addition of LuigiU content helped, but the formula was passé by this point) GOOD ENOUGH: SM Galaxy 2 SM Maker (love the concept, but obviously totally unbalanced) SM Odyssey (fun but didn't blow me away) THE REST: SM Land (just not much too this one) SM Run (forgettable mobile game. breezed through and immediately forgot about it) SM Sunshine (not a fan of it really at all) not ranked/never played: SM Maker 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 988 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Will have to give this a think. Although I've never played Mario Odyssey, Yoshi's Island, Galaxy 2 and Lost Levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. 3D World and the later NSMB games feel like "casual" content, even amidst the already fairly casual nature of the Mario franchise on the whole.

My favorite thing to do in NSMb was to play with a group of friends and we’d all be asses to each other and try and chuck each other off the stage lol. Then you’d have to hop in a bubble for safety. We really screwed ourselves over on quite a few levels but it added a lot of fun to an easy casual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynda Monica | 350 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, Yoshi's Island, and all four New Super Mario Bros. games were designed by the head Mario team with Miyamoto involved. I don't see why anyone excludes them. New Super Mario Bros is just as important to Nintnedo as the old games, as New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold over 30 Million copies. They vastly outsold every other Mario platformer outside of the original Super Mario Bros., and only due to it being packed with every single NES. The 3DS and Wii U games weren't as successful due to the systems involved, but they were still top sellers on those systems. Nintendo knows that no matter the system, New Super Mario Bros. makes serious money. Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World were an attempt to find a middle ground between the simplistic and successful New Super Mario Bros formula, and the critically acclaimed, but worse selling 3D games. This has been stated in interviews many times, and Mario 3D Land had nothing to do with the Mario Land games outside of including "Land" in the title. As far as the old Mario Land games go, they're still Mario games even if they weren't by the original team. None of the Metroid Prime or Donkey Kong Country games were even made by Japanese developers, let alone the original team. I don't think many people would try to argue they don't count. I'm not trying to be brash or anything, nor do I think too highly of the New Super Mario Bros. games myself, but they absolutely count.

I think that was mostly just in the service of maintaining a shorter and more concise list of games most people had played, honestly. 6 hours ago, Lynda Monica said: None of the Metroid Prime or Donkey Kong Country games were even made by Japanese developers, let alone the original team. I don't think many people would try to argue they don't count. That's a funny comparison, though. Because I think it's quite obvious how eg. NSMBW clearly takes after SMW much more than eg. Sunshine does. But the Metroid Prime games are absolutely a separate entity to the 2D ones - people compare Dread to games like Fusion and Super Metroid, not to any of the Prime games, and vice versa. Moreso though, I don't think I've ever met anyone who'd claim the Donkey Kong Country games are the same series as DK, DKJr, and DK3, that would be really absurd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreso though, I don't think I've ever met anyone who'd claim the Donkey Kong Country games are the same series as DK, DKJr, and DK3, that would be really absurd It is weird, but that's how these fandoms work if you spend time with them online. A lot of modern Donkey Kong fans think of Country as the main series, as Donkey Kong's old design has been retired since Game and Watch Gallery 4, and Donkey Kong Jr. vanished around that time too. Almost nothing remains of the original Donkey Kong, so as time went on Country became the main Donkey Kong series. Similarly with Metroid, the classic style didn't come back until very recently, and from 2002 until 2017 the series was primarily Metroid Prime. They put out Prime, Echoes, Corruption, Pinball, Hunters, Trilogy, and Federation Force, and the only other Metroid games were Zero Mission and Other M. For a very long time Prime was the most prevalent series, so to label them as a separate series tends to annoy Metroid fans. Yet you'll still find a very large amount of Mario fans who label the New Super Mario Bros. games as spin-offs for some reason. I don't actually want to get into a huge debate about it as I feel like I've been kind of bothersome in this thread, but I wanted to let you know where I'm coming from. I promise I'll shut up about it now. Sorry to derail everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,994 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I don't think anyone minds this discussion. Even if people are free to disagree, it's interesting to see other people's perspective on those things. I think the NSMB series feels like a spinoff only in the sense that there's a clear direct line going between the "major" releases of 64 -> Sunshine -> Galaxy 1/2 -> Odyssey, and injecting the NSMB games inbetween those kinda breaks that flow. It's not like they aren't genuine Mario games, and I think especially "Wii" and "U" manage to showcase much of the same general level design genius that governs most of the larger budget titles. 25 minutes ago, Lynda Monica said: A lot of modern Donkey Kong fans think of Country as the main series, as Donkey Kong's old design has been retired since Game and Watch Gallery 4 There's no "main" series, it's just two different series They can both be main 26 minutes ago, Lynda Monica said: Similarly with Metroid, the classic style didn't come back until very recently, and from 2002 until 2017 the series was primarily Metroid Prime. The classic style (if you consider Fusion such) came back literally on the same day Prime was released. Prime was a short-lived sub-series that only lasted five years, and I think if you considered that the "main Metroid series" up until 2017, that's fine with me, because they are great games, but it arguably says more about your subjective approach to the games than people's general perception of it.

Sumez | 2,994 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Given the recent discourse, here's my revised list featuring both the NSMB and Land games. And I renamed "SMB2 USA" to please the grumpy Tapeworm Not sure if I forgot anything else. Galaxy 1 SMB3 Mario 64 Yoshi's Island World SMB1 SMB2 (j) NSMB Wii 3D World Odyssey Galaxy 2 NSMB U Super Mario USA Wario Land Sunshine 3D Land Mario Land 2 Mario Land 1 NSMB Didn't play: NSMB 2, Bowser's Fury 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,584 Editorials Team · Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Here's my take. I didn't do the SNES games as to avoid spoiling my rankings. And this is a general sentiment of how I feel about them. SM64 had a bigger impact on me, but I'd rather play Odyssey nowadays SMB/LL SM64 Odyssey SMB3 Galaxy Sunshine 3D Land NSMB U NSMB NSMB2 SMB2 Wario Land Land In-progress: 3D World Haven't played in 30 years: Land 2 Partially played: NSMB Wii Never played: Bowser's Fury, Galaxy 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
