If you want to know why i consider Rayman better than mario, it not only lies within the design of the game and the rock solid platforming, but the difficulty. Rayman offers a wide variaty of challenges, where as mario i felt like i was walking through scenery. It wasnt a challenge at all. That is my problem with mario. This has nothing to do with platform, bias, or whatever else you want to claim. I did not and still dont find NSMBU to be a good game. What mario accels in is accessibility,tight gameplay, and interesting level design which is the only reason i didnt score it lower. But there was not one instance that i found the game fun because i felt like it was geared towards kids only.
