Is it fair to say Super Mario Bros and the whole saga is the best platform game ever made?

You have the right to that opinion but in terms of impact and significance as it pertains to the video game medium... it trails them.


How would it trail SMB3 the 3rd iteration of mario on a platform before SNES. Mario 64 is not better, maybe more impact because of 3d, but that game was trash to me. Overhyped and overrated.

Cause really SMB3 wasn't a "third iteration". We all fukked wit SMB2 heavy (cause it was Mario) but when SMB3 came out you could just feel the difference. You gotta remember by that point everyone had probably already played and beaten the original a few hundred times already... so when you first popped in SMB3 it felt like HOLY shyt A NEW MARIO GAME!!! THIS IS fukkIN SICK!!

Nothing else mattered when that shyt dropped. Every kid was playin it and when you went over your friend's house it was pretty much the only game in rotation. I know I was only like 6 or 7 at the time but I could just remember it being a nuclear BOMB.

It's not even the greatest game on it's on console

N64 had quite a few "greatest game of all time" games on there.

I'd put the top 5 games on N64 in no particular order:

Super Mario 64
LOZ:OOT
Goldeneye
Super Smash Bros
Mario Kart 64

Honarable mentions to WcW vs Nwo Revenge and it's other iterations.

1 changed the game :whoo:
2 was a breath of fresh air :ahh:
3 is the GOAT :krs: :krs: :krs:
World is a contender as well :salute:
Yoshi's Island is a slept on classic :banderas:
64 changed the game yet again :whew:

That classic GOAT run on the SNES alone obliterates everything except for Sonic, and maybe Donkey Kong.

Super Mario World ---> All-Stars ---> the OG Super Mario Kart ---> Yoshi's Island ---> Super Mario RPG

...Straight fire :salute:

(All-stars was a compilation of updated remakes of the first three NES games with updated graphics and sound and the ability to save your progress)

Gang violence...
there is no real competition to that chubby italian. his early games pretty much invented or refined platforming mechanics that get taken for granted and he's sleeping with a princess somehow
