3D World is incredibly repetitive. The incentive to keep playing is just more collectibles to unlock more levels that are just re-skins of the old levels. At least that's how I felt once I finished it.

That's weird because playing through 3D World the thought that ran through my head was "How did they pack so many idea into one game?". I know there's a few reskinned levels towards the end but if you take the game as a whole, there's a fuck ton of diversity in 3D World.



Signature goes here!

You described the flaws of Galaxy 1 that was mostly fixed in Galaxy 2. What then, do you think is the better game? I think Galaxy 2 is better by a small margin imo.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 also has unskippable intros for each star and suffers from the American fast food chain syndrome. One comet coin per galaxy isn't exactly a lot to collect aside from the obvious power stars. SMG2 really isn't much different from SMG as most things carried over.

What I felt was the biggest improvement in Galaxy 2, was the search for the Green Stars which made you explore the levels looking for them (as opposed to redoing all the levels with Luigi in SMG1).

I just found it boring. Like "Here's Mario... in 3D!" And nothing more. I should replay it, that generally makes me appreciate games more (I once felt Mario 64 was the worst of the 3D marios. After replaying, it's probably my 2nd favorite).

I wouldn't take my arguments too seriously though. My favortie 3D Mario is 3D Land... I don't get me sometimes.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

I have been saying this since the game released: Super Mario 3D World is the best 3D Mario title of all time. It has the best music, best level design and by far the most varied gameplay.

Without the nostalgia factor, this would not even be a contest.



I wish I liked it as much as you did. SMG is easily my favorite Nintendo game and I definitely laughed when I saw the thread title. At no point did I ever consider 3D world to be of the same tier or caliber of previous 3D Mario titles. It felt like a filler title and I don't even think it was a very good game. Rol, whatever makes you happy in your catsuit.

Rol should be ashmed of himself for making this thread.

Hey Rol. 

Mario Galaxy is not all that meh.

Do agree that 3D World is better. 



Quite a fun and interesting opinion, and you make some solid points! I'm eager to get my hands on 3D World when I get a Wii U
