>>95811346>>95811375I went back to play a lot of the older Mario games recently and I'm just always surprised when people say they like 3 more than World. 3 feels really good to get good at understanding Mario's jump and it ends up being fun, but most of the levels are just annoying dog shit with some weird gimmick going on. From a visual standpoint, sure, 3's got more variety. But from a level design standpoint? World is way more enjoyable with its fair share of challenges.
3 has a really good start, an awful middle, and a really great ending part with the World 8 levels. 8-1 and 8-2 are fucking psychotic but they're admittedly great.
