I agree, SM3DW is definitely better than SMG, though it still falls behind SMG2, the quintessential platformer.

I may be speaking for myself but I think a lot of people dislike Sunshine because it was exactly not like Mario 64 at all. A lot of cool things in 64 (long jumps, quicker backflips, wing cap, metal cap, invisible caps, punching, etc) were taken out and replaced by nozzles that didn't have a bigger WOW factor than the things they replaced.

You know, I think that someday I will launch a massive information campaign to learn to people what is 2.5D.

Personally, i really liked the Galaxy story - and how it unfolded, more than 3D World's story.

It's really tough to choose between both... so, i won't: they are both great games and they have their share of great things that make them awesome to replay and remember.
Although, i got to say that some 3D Worlds were just awesome to look at. Specially those where the water reflected the sun. Amazing!

Needless. It's not difficult.  (You pretend that you didn't comprehend it) Look someone managed it.

You should have that ability. Or rather, do you have any? Mea culpa, that I asked..

I must be posting only when I'm confident, that I will do it in a good way... I failed.  So, I'm apologizing, for annoying your intellectual power.

I can only answer comprehensible questions. This is taunting/abrupt.

Excuse me, but I didn't understand your question, could you clarify it, please? This is discreet/ polite and  hence welcome.

I wouldn't like to think that you don't have manners.

Anyway, have the last word and spit me your venom, It has little or no effect on me.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               However, it's preferable for both of us to leave it now, before the outcome be painfull for one from us, or maybe both!  I will not continue this irrational thing!

I'm wondering why I answered since I know you very well, I should have ignored the provocative/insultive insinuation.

Feel  nice, it behooves me to retreat!

This an easy win since one of them even fails to have a Wii U version.

Hmm, that is true. It is missing some things you mentioned, like some moves and powerups, but a lot of the good aspects of Mario are still there, and the goal is largely the same as well, but just done differently most of the time. I guess they felt moves like punching and long jump weren't necessary.

In my opinion, 3d world isnt really a traditional 3d mario game, so there is no point comparing them.

3d world is an extension of the "reach the end" platforming line spawned by super mario 3d land, whereas traditional 3d mario games are action/adventure games with an emphasis on exploration and small quests/goals throughout.

Also, with regards to graphics, you would have to compare them by time reference. What you said is the equivalent of saying "sonic boom has better graphics than mario 64, so clearly its the better game." Obviously I'm exaggerating, but the point stands

I agree, SM3DW is a better game than SMG and a little worse than SMG2. The level design is marvelous, the environments are varied, it introduces a new gameplay mechanic almost every level... It's superb. SMG has some... pace problems and some levels are just very similar. I think SMG2 manages to overcome the SMG problems, with a better pace and more variety. It beats 3DW because it's more epic and the 2D gravity levels are fantastic. Plus Yoshi. All of them are masterpieces, though.

Can't play 3D world with other players. Turns into a huge mess. Some games just aren't meant to play like this.
