One more thing: Hindsight is 20/20 and we can appreciate how great SMW is and was but in 1991 a lot of people saw it as a step down from SMB3. Less power ups, secrets, variety, etc. Even worse, a lot of gamers and gaming media gave GotY to Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic.
The.
Fucking.
Hedgehog.
Even with the GBA Super Mario Advance series, SMW came out before SMB3 as if the third game were the bigger/better title.
Just goes to show that a great game now might not be so great years from now when the dust settles. And a good game now might be considered legendary later on. Tastes change.
