So very true.

Super Mario World is still obviously a great game, but I can't think of a single thing I like more about it than Yoshi's Island aside from it not having Baby Mario scream at you.

I played SMW2 before SMW.

SMW is miles ahead in quality.

Actually, the only thing I like in SMW that Yoshi's Island doesn't have is a more open World Map, with secret exits in levels

They are both great, better than SMB1-3, and better in some aspects than the 3D mario games too.

Too tough to call, both too good. For reference, I like them both better than Link to the Past, and I'm a pretty big Zelda fan!

Have to agree with this.

But then I never understood SMW hype. While not a bad game, it's clearly one of the weaker 2D Marios, I can't really think of anything it does better than SMB3. SMW2 at least tries to do its own thing, and aside from some kinks in the controls, succeeds very well.

Better stage design, way better music, better gameplay ideas, waaaaaay better graphics, better bosses.... yeah, I'll side with Yoshi's Island.

SMW has an awesome world map and its secrets are on a completely different level, though. Plus, there's more variety in who you play as: Mario or Luigi, and you can be with or without Yoshi. And no crying babies.

Okay, SMW also has the better power-ups. Spitting watermelons and flames really aren't that great in Yoshi's Island.

Yoshi is just powered-up by default. Built in partial-cape in the form of the flutter kick, built in projectile that's a million times better than fireballs. Plus there's still the cool transformation blocks (and even cape Mario!).

Yeah, that's why the big argument is always SMB3 vs SMW. Nobody brings up Yoshi's Island because it obviously smokes them both.

Agreed.

There's plenty of SMW hacks that mop the floor with Yoshi's Island though (and I'm not including those with heavy ASM use)

I actually don't think SMW is that great! It's a fine game, but compared to the other Marios it just doesn't really grab me as much. The level design is solid, I guess, but for whatever reason, my biggest problem with SMW is that I just don't think its world is very interesting, it has sort of a bland visual style and it lacks the bizarre surrealism that almost all the other Mario games of the time have. There's nothing very memorable about SMW to me, it's just a solid 2D platformer and that's it. SMW2 does not have this problem and I think it's overall just a more outstanding game, its game mechanics are extremely creative and the entire experience is a memorable one.

I pretty much agree there.

Granted, I don't especially enjoy hunting for secrets in platformers, which was supposed to be SMW's "thing"... otherwise it's pretty much an inferior SMB3.

I do like hunting for well-hidden secrets in platformers, and this is the one thing I will grant SMW that it does very well. SMB3 and SMW2 also do it well, though.

I agree Mario World's worlds are not very memorable.

I think Yoshi's Island has a bit of the same problem though, personally.

I liked them both but I'd say SMW is a bit better. I also liked the DS Yoshi's Island.

Yeah, I did, too. The biggest problem I had with it was that horrendous music. Switching around which baby rides on Yoshi's back did change up the gameplay a little, but it grew stale and even cumbersome in some instances. There's also the fact that the use of two screens added just about nothing and, if anything, led to even worse moments of infuriating misses of red coins held by shy guys or suspended in some odd place.

The level design otherwise was often on par with what the original had, and it provided more of a challenge than the original overall.

Still about a 7/10 game to me.

Hah, that level was a blast. One fortunate thing about it is that usually, if you've beaten it, there's a good chance you've also collected everything for 100. You don't have to go too far out of your way to do it.
