Poll of the Day > Best world in Super Mario 3

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can't decide

Big Land or Sky Land

Giant Land was awesome, also it's where people are introduced to their favorite Tanooki Suit right? Though I was never really a fan of that Power up. Hammer suit will always be my favorite Mario Power up.

Still the Giant world in SMB3 was the best.

Sky Land is best and had the best power ups in the game

Giant land was only cool for like the first level

Giant Land or Sky Land.

Seeing the big enemies is funny but other than that, there's not too much to the levels of Giant Land. I remember the one that starts out where you have to fight through two sumos with no platforms, that's the hardest start to a level in the game (unless you have a fire flower or a star, then it's the easiest).

Giant Land is such a fucking pleb choice. I liked that one most as a kid, but there kinda isn't much to the gimmick. Pipe is the best. Full (uncertain) ranking:

Pipe > Sky > Water > Dark > Ice > Giant > Desert > Grass

I feel pretty solid on that top four, and Grass is at the bottom (not that it's bad as far as first worlds go), but I think I could put the remaining three in any order

These aren't my beautiful world names. PRG0 for life, bitches.

It's hard for me to put them in any order because I love Mario 3 so much. Every time I think of one that's weak, I am reminded of a few things I really like about it. I'd actually rank Giant World near the bottom though, even though it is currently winning the poll. The huge shell, tiny head Koopa is funny. But again, the levels are not really that interesting.

Even Grass World, the blandest world, has that ghost ship that appears every so often to make things interesting.

I'm also surprised Dark Land doesn't have a single vote. Well... surprised and not surprised. Honestly, I talk shit about Super Mario World a lot, but the final world in that game is awesome (as well as the final boss). It's the one thing World has over this game, is that awesome ending (which is probably the best ending of any Mario game period). But I do like how Mario 3 is legit creepy at the end, with Dark World and its molester hands and military industrial kooplex.

It's been so long since I've played this game and I'm not sure. I remember really enjoying Grass, Giant and Pipe worlds, though.

Voted Giant.

I'm not a big fan of Pipe World. I like many of the levels, because they are so different than everything else. But the map is pretty annoying, where you're jumping in and out of pipes all the time just to get to where you want. I could see if there was some sort of challenge to going through these little screens, but there's no challenge. It's just busywork. Then again, the music is awesome. See, I can always talk myself out of criticism.

Pipe world was very overwhelming as a child, but it definitely sticks out as my favourite now. As far as the criticism leveled against it goes, I feel like that only majorly effects the first few levels of world 7.

Yeah having the world map teleport pipes enter into actual levels was pointless. SMW making them instantaneous was a nice change. If Pipe Land was like that I don't think I'd mind the separation of the islands

Sky Land was always my favorite.

I gotta vote for Giant Land as my nostalgic favorite, even if it's just a gimmick.

Ice Land. I always like snow/ice levels over others. Not a surprise really.

This, so much this. I liked pipe land so much I named my bong world 7. [Edit] I was a stupid teenager at the time, and I thought it was clever. But that was over 15 years ago, and now it just seems silly.
