Super Mario World 1 & 2 appreciation thread.
Just unlocked and fully completed Super Mario World for the first time in about a dozen years lol! Man, what a kickass experience! I was particularly taken aback by the memories I had upon entering the Star World and especially the "Special" section of the map. Man, the stages in that Special road are nothing short of brilliant and quite difficult as well! My favorite part of playing SMW is getting Purple Yoshi and then getting the Wings to fly high over the enemies. Man what a rush!!
Anyway Bowser and his castle were not as hard as I remembered and Bowser in particular wasn't as difficult as some of the other castle bosses(Ludwig anyone?) I mean. just flip the little mecka bowsers up in the air and have them land on Bowser...no big deal.
Anyway it took me like 3 days to complete the game thanks to save states. There's nothing like falling through a crack, dying, then owning every enemy in the stage by coming back to life via hitting "Alt Left" to load the state LOLOL! Gotta love ZSNES! With save states in different locations I can go anywhere on the map at the press of a button hehe!
Super Mario World fun facts:
1)Did you know that the main programmer of the game is not Miyamoto? That's right, it's some guy named Tezuka something! Miyamoto only produced the game!
2)Did you know you can re-enter an already beaten castle by pressing L+R together?
3)Did you know that those Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green blank, dotty blocka can be filled up? By finding certain keys and getting into a special stage that looks like an exclamation mark, once you beat that stage it will smash down and the colour of that stage will result in the block being filled up!
4)Did you know that there is a secret way you can open up and enter a back door to Bowsers castle?
Anyway I just fired up Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Eyeland a couple minutes ago and played it for the first time ever in my life. I am love with the colours and overall graphics but I admit they take some getting used to. They kinda blend in a little too well. I'm not sure whether I like it better than SMW 1 yet....only played like half way through the first stage. It has quite a few additions and little extra things Yoshi can pull off as oppased to the original SMW.
Which game do you guys think is better and is it worth going through Yoshi's Eyeland?
By the way(laces up Reeboks and prepares to run) I've never played Super Mario 64 in my life, only like 5 minutes of it at my buddy's home years ago and I couldn't warm up to it. Yes, you can kill me now! But I have no plans to ever touch that game again! 3D Mariio is like a 3D King of Fighters or 3D Ms Pac-man...just plain WRONG!
Audi 5000 ya'll
