Board 8 > Super Mario Bros. was a very linear game.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Which is just another piece of proof as to why Nintendo will never be as good of a developer as Rockstar.

The fact that it was very linear is one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much.

1st Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2nd Year OMG FF7 Always Wins.
3rd Year OMG Link Always Wins. 2101st Year OMG CATS Always Wins.

but you could skip a lot of the game

games nowadays don't let you do that

Linearity is always bad.

It was like one long corridor. Sometimes there were side routes, so you thought you could do some exploring, but there were just lame treasures at the end, and then you had to go back to the main corridor, which you were never out of sight of anyway!

Yeah, at least Mario didn't have annoying characters!

Nintendo needs to learn how to diversify their games. at least have the screen scroll left or something

What about that Toad who always told me I was in the wrong place, clearly knew what the right castle was and never told me which one?

--
He was p. annoying.

bunch of levels had multiple ways to end, leading to different areas and such

not exactly straight-forward linearity there

Toad was probably tripping his balls off the whole time and didn't know where the hell he was...

Even the extra areas were linear!

Yeah how ****ing lazy were Nintendo anyway? They didn't want to have to make a fully good game so they just put effort into a handful of places and let you skip the rest since they were so phoned in

--
Mistake you're making - overlooking the fact that we might not want to be saved.

Yeah, how good can a game be if you can beat it in 15 minutes?

--
"So cold. I am always by your side."
"There ain't no gettin' off of this train we on!"

I know, right? And what's with the boss fights? It's the same every time and all you do is run under a turtle. Or a dragon. Or a dinosaur. ****ing Nintendo can't even just use one of the three, they have to try to be all fancy with their hybrid monster thing.
