30 questions (a question a day) challenge

Yeah I think before I answer this question someone's going to have to give me an exact limit on what counts as "classic"

Mario Awards considers it to be GCN/GBA (sixth generation) and prior.
 
I cannot say for sure since there's a bunch of classic games that I playing rn but the one I find is the best of them so far is probably Super Metroid, unless of course we do count GameCube in which case it's my favorite game of all, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.
 
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I may not have the most experience with video gaming but no matter how far VGs have come since the GBA/GC era, there's only one game out there that beats this for me, which was on the wii
 
Day 23: Game with the best graphics/art style

Now this may not be a popular opinion, but I'm gonna say TTYD. Yes I think TTYD looks better than even Color Splash, I just prefer the smoothly animated characters with bright gradient shading over the stop-motion solid-colors with a white outline. Not to mention other than general texture resolution, TTYD still looks fantastic today, and you could almost pass it off as a modern entry just by applying an HD texture pack. I really hope the next Paper Mario returns to that style but takes advantage of newer tech to give it that boost in polish that SS and CS admittedly do have, despite going for something different entirely.

Day 24: Favorite classic game

Also TTYD. The perfect balance of fun worlds to explore, fun battle mechanics and wonderful storytelling, all put together with a stunningly smooth art style (as mentioned above). If we're counting GCN as classic, then that's an easy answer, though Superstar Saga is pretty close up there too.
 
Day 23: Game with the best graphics/art style
Some people bring up games that are technical achievements, but I have to say that Gorogoa, a small puzzle indie game, is one game that makes use of its art style. It stands out to me. It's a point-click game that is composed of four frames and you manipulate pieces of art to advance the narrative. It's a unique, interactive picture book, and it has a really nice art style, like a crayon. I think in achievement, it deserves a mention in this thread.

Day 25: A game you plan on playing

Super Mario Odyssey. Unfortunately I don't have the Switch at the moment so this is going to have to wait, but I've got the books now and they're awesome, the graphics look great, the gameplay looks incredible, the controls are well recieved, it has an existent story and introduces new characters, and just everything about this game looks like what truly might become my favourite mainline Mario game. My only real fear is that it's said to return to the style of level design of Super Mario 64, which I didn't like personally, as I kind of felt it was aimlessly looking for hidden things rather than an interesting 3D platform challenge.
 
rayman 2 def goes here.. just bookmarked the gog page a few days ago so i plan on getting to it eventually, maybe this april! and um i would like to get fiesta run too before they snap it off of play market too like they did on apple devices
i also plan on replaying harry potter and the philosophers stone, and maybe will Actually Beat It (god ive first played it 11 years ago or so and still never did) im a lil scared though because its quite dam clunky
 
I have a lot of plans. I still have to actually play the firs Paper Mario, and also maybe actually play TTYD myself instead of helping my brother play it so I have the full rights to criticize it. Other than that, I should also consider trying out Xenoblade definitive when it comes out, finish Super Metroid and FE Thracia 776, other Metroid games, probably advance wars, I just have a lot on my mind right now.
 
Super Mario World's probably next on my list, for after I beat SMB3. I'm also patiently waiting for the day I get a new 3DS so I can finally play BIS and the two Kirbys on there.
