Nintegageo | 586 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Super Mario and Donkey Kong each had these. I really enjoy them. What other examples can ya think? ps. Plok coulda been great but it didn't have a password or save, so maybe ignore those games?

Tabonga | 2,720 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Link to the Past had one that would pop up when you summoned the duck air service.

TDIRunner | 3,086 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I always loved the overworld maps in SMB3 and SMW. They were so interesting to look at, and none of the Mario games since then have had anything beyond generic and boring maps.

mbd39 | 2,300 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) Joe & Mac Skyblazer Adventure Island 2 Commander Keen ActRaiser is unique in having a world map with sim elements. And then ActRaiser 2 removed the sim elements.

Mugi | 84 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 gimmick.... sort of ? kirby has a level selection map screen dungeon.... thing ? not really sure if they count as "world map" per-se but it's close enough in my book Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2696-2-d-games-with-a-world-map/#findComment-53088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 586 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 Sure, I'd count those. Heck, even Mega Man X games I would sorta count (the game shows where the bosses are on the map).

RH | 5,540 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I may love JRPGs but you might want to exclude those since many of them have overworld maps, especially once you get into the 16 bit era.

cj_robot | 562 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Super Adventure Island II and Demon's Crest had overworld maps. Two very cool SNES adventure games. Also Gex, Rayman and Clockwork Knight had them as well. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2696-2-d-games-with-a-world-map/#findComment-53116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surely the same map when you just press X to view it as well, right?

Gargoyle's Quest is a purer implementation of the concept, I think (i.e. classic Dragon Quest style overworld rather than Mode 7) Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/2696-2-d-games-with-a-world-map/#findComment-53281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
