Which makes more sense?

Which makes more sense?

obviously the top

Most people would demand the bottom one if they're "hardcore" or whatever but the top one is just fine. It's how the Mario series does it nowadays.

>losing power and big mario from one mistake
Sounds like shit to me, top is better.

The famicom version of Mario Bros 3 is different, if you have the flower suit and you get a hit you will get small, the same as the Super Mario Bros and Lost levels. The bottom is for pussies.

To be fair, SMW had that item box that could store an extra power up for you.

>the bottom is for pussies
you confused bro

Bottom makes more sense. I mean, the powers are really just different forms of normal Mario, so getting hit would logically just bring him back to small Mario.
However, the top is overall just better.

>A player shouldn't be able to plan their actions around their play style
Yes please make the game worse thank you

Top is for pussies, my mistake

Why does the lower goomba look so delicious? It's like a bread roll or a fresh peach.

>the powers are really just different forms of normal Mario,

The way that powerups in ? boxes become just mushrooms when you're small suggest that there is a hierarchy, re-inforcing top

I didn't know they were goombas.

I think that this goomba looks cute

that's literally just so players become normal mario instead of something too overpowered. Besides, you can still become different forms even when you're small. It's not like grabbing a cape feather as small mario makes you normal mario

They're retconned into a separate species called Galoombas

haha

what's with all the Mario shills on here lately?

>Which makes more sense?
How is a man who shoots fire running into a living mushroom monster and then either losing his fire power or becoming half his size supposed to make any sense?

I never realised the tomato in Mario World was a Goomba until recently, maybe even playing mario maker.

it isn't SMM isn't canon

That's actually a chestnut, not a mushroom.

ew, what the hell is this?

It's weird considering Konami made Castlevania 2 and 3 considerable harder in the NA releases. 3 in particular ruined the pirate character by removing his ability to wall climb and throw knives.

The logic is that big mario is a power on the same tier as the fire flower and cape. It's why in SMW you get a mushroom as your reserve item if you grab a fire flower or cape while you're big mario.

Grant can still scale walls. He's just gone from knife thrower to Stabby McStabberson, Senior.

i literally dont care
3 is the better game any way

>had that mario trivia card box as a kid
>it called the round SMW goombas goombas
>it called the mushroom shaped goombas from SMB3 mini goombas
>mini goombas were bigger than regular goombas
>my brain when

Yes I know they were probably talking about the mini goombas the para goombas dropped but the picture was of a regular looking one with no scale

While the top one makes more sense, it was only added to Mario 3 for regions outside Japan, because we suck at games.

At least, that was their logic.

also a Galoompa

>One jump to kill= Goomba
>More than one jump to kill= Galoompa

Top makes more sense since it was the last power up you got. Bottom is better for gameplay since Mario is easy af most of the time, but it trivializes the Super Mushroom since it just becomes an aesthetic change with the very mild buff breaking blocks.

I prefer top, just really wish the games had more difficulty options. Bottom is more of a Sonic vibe since rings are useless outside of getting more lives and shields are actual power ups.

bottom one is quite the proverbial piece of shit.

inb4 "muh hard mode"

Both are the same but in SMW you can have a fire flower or cape feather instead of only mushroom after you get hit.
