SMW is great, though I'd have to put SMB3 above it for the typical reasons like challenge, level design, etc. IMO part of what makes Mario World feel so special is the tone of the game between its pacing, color palette, and the jazz fusion soundtrack. It's very memorable.
I would still place Yoshi's Island above it, and think that NSMB U is a better game in terms of level design and variety, regardless of the art direction. It is true that SMW has the most nested and clever overworld route options though.

Anyone else ever pick up the purple blocks too fast so they fall right down the hole they accidentally created?
All the time. I hated fighting these boos.

Totally, its surprising how the complaints back then are almost exactly the same as what people are complaining about nowadays. Its funny seeing people talk about the SNES having a drought of games early on in its life and the Wii U is in the same position.

I made it here within half and hour of starting the game.
I haven't played the game in years but you never forget the ins and outs of your first game.

I never realized there were P Balloons in the item boxes. I was trying to beat it with Blue Yoshi and cape; ALMOST made it to the gate ledge (I remember jumping off Yoshi and barely missing).
A couple days later I was at a bookstore and looked up a guide. It was doable after that.
The rest of the levels were disappointingly easy after Tubular, though I do remember running out of time in the last level.
I also remember not knowing how to beat Bowser until I went to a friend's house and saw him throw the things at him.
I always loved this stage. I remember doing the same thing.

This game had some of the best tunes...I'd love it if Nintendo did another game in this style. I can't find really one complaint to say about it. And that instruction manual was full of charm too and that was just the manual!

It's been like, what, one year? They rollin' out these Marios like there's no tomorrow. Hopefully it's not a rehash. Looks pretty good so far though.

That used to blow me away when I first played this game. Like holy shit the sprites are gonna come right through my TV!

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I just realized Tubular is a level made entirely with pipes.
I see what they did there.

I'm really dumb.
This plumber crap needs to die. How about some new IPs, eh Nintendo?

What the fuck? You got it all wrong. SMB3 is the prequel to the greatest game ever made.

Agreed, to me this game never gets old. One of my top favorite Mario games I enjoy.

I literally didn't even know that I could control the cape flying until a few years ago. As a kid I thought it was random and rarely used it.

One of the best games ever made for the best system ever created. A true classic masterpiece.
This is the best Mario-game, the best Snes-game and quite simply the best game ever. I won't get it for the Virtual Console, but I do have my Snes plugged in with this cart in the cartridge slot right now 
The Star Road is probably my favorite part of the game, such an awesome way of doing the warping! New Super Mario Bros U was pretty decent, but I seriously just want Nintendo to rehash this game with the same physics, graphics, power-ups and a new world map and new levels. That would instantly be my most anticipated game lol.
What, I dont quite understand this. What do you do after jumping on the Para Koopa?

First post is worst post. Only a fool would claim that out of Mario 64, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, 3D Land, and NSMBU that there isn't a good Mario game.

Thanks for breaking GAF's first post glorious tradition...
Wow, Tubular seems so short now. Maybe it seemed to take forever because I always used the balloon.

Still remember my friend getting this for his birthday on October 1, and me having to wait until my birthday on December 12 to get mine. Was over there as often as I could playing this game, it all seemed like a dream. And then the magical day when I finally unwrapped my own system - I can still remember it like it was just yesterday... Such a magical time...
They were different characters mechanically in the SMW + All-Star release. The version of SMW on there was updated to make Luigi different.
Heh, never knew that and I owned both games as a kid growing up. How different are the mechanics?
