I don't even see how this is a contest. I've played a couple Donkey Kong Country games and they're alright. But 2D Mario is fantastic. It's the best platforming series. It's also one of the best game series ever made, maybe even THE best game series ever made. Donkey Kong Country doesn't even make it into my top 5 platformer series.
There is only one other platformer series that can even be compared to 2D Mario: Sonic. The Sonic games are authentically awesome. If you want to play some 16-bit platformers, then play Sonic. I think 2D Mario, overall, is a better series. However Sonic is a close second and DKC doesn't even place.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
