While we have all the Mario experts here, is there a better easter egg in any Mario game than this?

Yoshi's Island on SNES is better than SMW in every way. Graphics, soundtrack, presentation, mini-games... loving owns. It's SMW 2 in name only, but it's still fantastic. They just haven't been able to capture the magic of the game since despite numerous tries

I didn't know Yoshi's Island had a secret Unregistered HyperCam 2 mode.

And does anyone like the ribbon-cutting thing at the end of every level, or any of the switch palace junk, or 90% of the levels between Vanilla Dome and Bowser Valley? SMB3 is a much better game.

if you don't like yellow switch palace you are a fake gamer

Congratulations on not getting fit in 2011!
SMW is the very first instance of the next-gen version of a franchise being totally inferior and lacking compared to the previous entry. Better graphics and sound. Worse everything else. Nintendo got away with it too, which is why COD, Halo, and Final Fantasy get away with it today.

Less environments, inferior powerups, and a gimmick (Yoshi) to make you forget about it being worse than 3. I just don't think they were on their A Game with that one like they were with Zelda 3, Super Metroid, and SMW 2.

What was the deal with Star World 1 where you could fall through the bottom of the level if you had a cape and broke blocks going sideways?

Remember how ducking under bricks and then standing up in Mario 1 led to them pushing you along until you reached an open area?
Same thing, but caused by the game only being able to handle 4 rotating blocks at a time, so that if you spun too many at once the ones Mario was passing through would stop spinning and have their collision re-enabled. You then get pushed along until you reach empty space, which in this case is the inside of the wall just past its collision barrier.

Super Mario World was great, games are fun. Get coins, save princesses, embrace inevitable death. It's all good, haters vacate.

Edit: the spin jump was sure pretty unhelpful though.

It's much better out of water, since you can still move normally, you don't slip on ice, and it also acts as an ice flower.

The regular swimming controls in that series are pretty poo poo though. In SMW, you could hold up or down to influence how much you rise with each tap of the jump button, so you could either rise very quickly without having to mash it, or rise very slowly to swim past obstacles more precisely.

Anyway, Newer SMB is pretty great, but autoscrolling levels aren't. It's not so bad in SMB3 when there aren't any special coins to collect though.

You can move normally in the frog suit if you are holding something.

At some point it murders you if you hold down the button long enough and you are off screen.

They should learn more form SML2 (and SML3 for that matter), real gems of the series that have somehow been lost in between the M64 variants and the SMB3 reimaginings.

In fact the Gameboy had both my favourite Mario entry and favourite Zelda entry. Galaxy has taken the throne for the Mario series now, but I haven't enjoyed any of the later Zelda games quite as much as Awakening.

I wonder how crazy Mario Maker will allow us to be. It just isn't a romhack without mismatched enemies and MIDI renditions of Mega Man music.

Either that, or it'll be just Kaizo levels with no ability to save state.

The recent trailer had some kinda crazy poo poo like making Bullet Bill cannons shoot fountains of coins so it looks like it'll be pretty flexible.

I still love the Japanese SMB2 because it doesn't gently caress around.

loving around is the only thing that Japanese SMB2 does do. It's like a Kaizo romhack designed by developers who had no concept of what "fun" is and were so jaded by their lives as Japanese salarymen working on games 24/7 that they couldn't tell when their ideas were stupid and frustrating.

Yeah but the regular Super Mario Bros. is so easy. This game's only really challenging if you play as Luigi, otherwise it's nowhere near most other NES games.

Besides, there are tricks like getting a 1-up at the flagpole if your coins are a multiple of 11 and the timer's last digit matches it. For instance, you can have 00 coins on 1-1 and 1-2 and touch the flagpole when the timer ends in 0 and get a 1-up, and in 1-3 you can't avoid the coins so you make sure you get 11.

Even if you run out of lives you can just continue from the world you died in as many times as you want. The All-Stars version is much easier because you can save at each level, and start with 5 lives rather than 3. However, if you've only beaten that version I'm afraid you're not SUPER PLAYER.

They knew their ideas were stupid and frustrating. That's why they ended up in the game. If you're an overworked japanese salaryman wouldn't you want to inflict some pain on the players?

You can also play as Lost Levels Luigi in the original game's stages if you play All Night Nippon SMB.
