Mario World is a classic when it comes to standard platformers. The moves at your disposal, the types of enemies and the simple way that you accelerate and decelerate feels right. Mario World is deeply ingrained into the gaming world's collective DNA. Its platforming 101 and everyone knows every level intimately.

The flipside of platforming 101 is that I kind of dont think this game, or really 2d Mario, is very interesting from a level design perspective. I like my 2d platformers to be either hard or fast and Mario World isnt really either.

The game is super competent in every way, and I obviously respect the craft. But indie games may have exposed this game because it felt like the gold standard for a long time but now it just feels classic -- and by classic, I mean just kind of old. Good, but old.
