Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

On the condition that New Super Mario Bros. U includes the Luigi U expansion (which is the game I got instead of both separately), I would vote for that because it offers a lot of Mario platforming goodness in several flavours that include the tradition gameplay (Mario U), short levels (Luigi U) and the challenges (found in Mario U).

Thank you for reading.

NSLU is DLC for NSMBU, so yes, it counts.
 
Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

LeftyGreenMario's burned calories and now I'm here and prepared for the face-off!!!

Oh...

*leaves disappointed*

I went for New Super Mario Bros. Wii because it's the first among the 4-person Mario platformers. I guess it's unfair, but it also has modding support including the amazing Newer Super Mario Bros. which really extends its shelf life.
 
Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

I feel unqualified to vote in this since I haven't beat all of these games...

Just vote among all you’ve played. I haven’t played too many of these, really. Don’t forget that playing an amiibo Tap or Smash demo counts as playing it.

Super Mario World is simply timeless. :mario: :yoshi:
 
Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

Super Mario World was more than great. Such creative, challenging, unique levels deserve to be the best in the series despite their simplicity. Also the power-ups and :yoshi:

But the boss fights were too easy.
 
Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

There are 3 Main Games I would vote for:

Super Mario World (+Great Level Design and Physics)
New Super Bros. (+Some of the best Level Design in the series -Super Mario Bros. Physics)
Super Mario Maker (+The ability to create levels -Super Mario Bros. Physics and a ton of inaccuracies of in each Game Mode)

Overall I'd have to say Super Mario World is the Best out of the three, due to stated negatives (there's probably some for SMW, but I can't think of any).
 
Re: The Ultimate Mario Face-Off!!!

Sorry I’m a bit late, but...

The winner of Round 1 is...New Super Mario Bros. Wii, with 5 votes! NSMBU and SMM were close, with 4 votes each.

The new poll is for the best 3D Mario platformer! Voting ends Saturday!
