Super Mario Bros 3

Super Metroid (or Fusion or Zero Mission)

Mario 3

SMB3

Donkey Kong Country 2

Mario 3 is overrated as sin

Fucking this

Implying Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission are better than Super Mario World

Jazz Jackrabbit

This board is contrarian as fuck. You should hear what these fuckheads have to say about games like R-Type 3 and Gradius 3. Anything popular is hated

hard mode: name a 3D platformer that's better

Yes to both of these.

Super Mario Galaxy 2. Don't even give a fuck.

*blocks your path*

>Can't see what the fuck you're doing: The Game

>autoscrolling levels are garbage
It's... Debatable, at best
>you fight boom boom a million times
At least there's some variety since some of them fly n' shiet
>the koopalings are pretty much the same boss fight
Yeah, sprite and pattern swaps, but I guess it's better than killing Bowser eight times with maybe some blocks in-between
>the inventory makes the game too easy
It does, but nobody's forcing you to use it
>LOL everything's bigger
I'll admit this is a gimmick, but a good one, at least
Isn't pretty much anything hated here? It's been a while since I've actively visited this board (I was around somewhere around the battleborn release or something). Really makes me think that anytime now they could just go full retard and hate every game; even innocent games such as... I don't know, Stardew Valley? Ori and the Blind Forest?

This

*Anything and everything
I can't write for shit, it's almost 3 AM

definitely this

...

Pretty much yeah. Everyone in this shithole goes out of their way to show how "different" they are. Hating genuinely good games for no good reason.

>huurrrr Donkey Kong Country sucks because of graphics

I'm just so fucking fed up with this hipster trash. No one is special for disliking a great game like Contra Alien Wars. Motherfuckers.

Mario Bros 3. The amount of stage-unique gimmicks is unparalleled in it.

Having recently done a 2D platformathon in celebration of getting / hacking a snes classic, I've narrowed it down to either pic related, or DKC2.

I feel like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel in search of actual discussion, too, and I know what place I am (even though it's not a fucking excuse; it's like saying that because you go to the gym you must do roids and protein shakes), but Jesus fucking Christ, not only does almost everyone in this shit hole dogpile on a popular game because muh contrarianism but there's also these stupid memes such as
>Muh DKC sucks, graphics over gameplay
>Kids ruined Minecraft, uuuuuuuh
>X is killing the industry
>BING BING WAHOO
I actually don't get the last one
Let them ad hominems come

>oh to be back in the time when selling a million copies was considered an achievement and not an utter failure

Best posters.

Also a fantastic answer.

/Thread

At the time, when Jumping Flash was released on ps1it was really impressive/immersive. We only knew 2D platformers back then.
So, overall not better than SMW but worth mentioning

Donkey Kong Country 3

Came here to post this. Any of the 3 dkc games are better. Except maybe the first.

Million for most cases is still an achievement.

Only a handful of titles have past the 1.5 million mark. Wikipedia keeps a list of best selling games for each system and there are a few handfuls of games that even hit 1mil.

PS2, PC, and some handheld systems are the only ones with a fairly large amount with more than 2 million.

I would maybe agree 1 or 2 could be as good, but 3 was terrible.

>5-12 guys working on a game for one year in ye olde days vs. 100+ inhouse +100 more from outsourcing for two years

Super Mario World is overrated as sin
>autoscrolling levels are garbage
>you fight reznor a million times
>the koopalings are pretty much the same fight
>the inventory makes the game too easy
>LOL everything's bigger

S3&K

What is the best emulator to play these on mac?

Not hard when world sucks

>umihara kawase
muh fish

I can still remember the day my dad took me to Funcoland to get this.

the meme doesn't work with smw because autoscrolling levels usually rely on some verticality to them, reznor is much less common than boom boom, some koopalings share some patterns but these tend to be completely different while smb3 has just variations of one, inventory doesn't let you hoard dozens of powerups (though the secret room exists, so it somewhat applies)

just stick to complaining about broken cape and no desert stages

...

Let me fuck you in the ass sir because you are RIGHT

>3 was terrible.
yes, we know you didn't bother getting past the first few levels

The direct fucking sequel to the game you posted, retard.

I cant. Super Mario World is flawless in my eyes

yoshi's island is gay as shit. and fuck baby mario

and it's a prequel

Fuck you, you fucking idiot. It's the fucking best platformer ever made, cunt.

calm down, kid. it's the worst Mario platformer. even Super Mario 2 is better than that shit. i'd bet you love Yarn Kirby or whatever it was called.

Yoshi's Island

It's objectively the best 2D platformer ever made, you braindead fuck. What do you like? Bubsy?

>he hasn't played expand dong: jungle bong

Mario World, Mario 3, New Super Mario Bros 1 and 2, Rayman Origins, Legends, Guacemelee.

all of those > Yoshi's Island

Stardew was getting major hate the week it released for switch

shit, i even forgot to mention Donkey Kong Country 2

Commander keen

Sonic Mania

Am I the only person who unironically enjoyed Donkey Kong Country Returns (3ds version, not the Wii version with those shit controls)? Not decided if it's better than SMW or not.

Tropical Dong.
