Undeniably the correct answer.

Those are two different series one isn't a sequel to another. It's like saying Super Mario Kart is a sequel to Super Mario World.

Super Mario Bros. is a spinoff of Mario Bros. It was going to be Kid Video before Takeshi Tezuka brought up the continued sales of Mario Bros. and suggested that they should be the protagonists. That's why Koopas (formerly Shell Creepers) are enemies in the game.

One of the most successful series in gaming history is a spinoff of a Donkey Kong spinoff.

Really enjoying the read through of responses. Even if a particular entry isnt a real entry (more of an honorable mention), its fun to see the opinions.

If we're going by games produced on the same hardware, I'd have to go with Super Mario Land to Super Mario Land 2. Super Mario Land 1 is great. It has fun gameplay for 15 to 20 minutes. But it looks to be somewhere between NES and Atari 2600 for graphical capabilities and, again, it's 20 minutes or less once you know what you're doing. Super Mario Land 2 looks like a Super Nintendo game in monochrome and has a map with many more levels than its predecessor.

I think this is certainly a viable response. I played SML on GB when I was a kid. Never played SML2 until I downloaded it on 3DS, and the entire time, I was thinking How the hell is this a
Game Boy game?

Surprised that there have now been multiple picks for Fallout 2 to 3. Did people really not like 2, did they not play much of it, or do they just consider Fallout 3 GOAT tier?

Yeah, I'm not even a huge fighting game fan, but it has to be Street Fighter II. The first game is pretty much unplayable, whereas the second one not only holds up well enough today, but it pretty much started an entire subculture and community.

I'd second TF2.

The jump to Super Mario Workd. No offense to the others but it is amazing the accomplishment that Super Mario World was for the time.

GTA III was a mind blowing experience.

Diablo 2 was a drastic change and massive improvement.

FFVII was drastically improved in terms of hardware advancement. Playing that game when it was new blew my mind.

If previous Donkey Kong games count then nothing touches the jump to Donkey Kong Country.
