My dad likes to refer to Donkey Kong as anecdotal reference that I should go along with his undeniably conservative idea that video games are somehow extremely unhealthy. He's the most conservative Democrat I've ever seen, and he calls it King Kong because like all people dying of terminal old they mix up names between action movies from the 1950s and arcade games from the 1990s because psyduck memory for things amirite

Idk if Rare could save anything. Everyone looks back at games like DKC, Banjo Kazooie and so on and just think of Rare as this company that churned out masterpieces...but they're more of a company that got lucky with some amazing franchises. Look at all those horrible LJN games they developed *shudder*. Besides, aren't the main people that made those same games amazing a part of various Nintendo 3rd party groups?

Also, DKC2 is the otp...one true platformer.

That is true, though I'm not sure if my relative knows that either. Whenever I see something DK-related, I always think of one of the three things: Dankey Kang, That Really Rustled my Jimmies, and Expand Dong.

I had more of an issue with Donkey Kong Country Returns than the old games. The game got too easy with the amount of lives you could get. It's a pretty game though, if that still counts for anything.

Would you call modern games with pixel graphics - such as Rogue Legacy to paint a picture - retro"? What fits under the definition or classification of a game being "retro"?

I'd classify anything that people saw as old-school, such as the 80's and 90's game systems, to be "retro". Even some of the classic arcade style games are what i'd deem such. That may not be much of a description but it's what I see that as.

Super Mario World best platformer anyone?

Anyone? No? Okay.

At the very least, it's the best 2-D Mario platformer.

Movie Bob/Game Overthinker disagrees, for he finds Super Mario Bros. 3 the best Mario platformer, as well as best platformer in general, since Super Mario World was held back by the SNES's limitations due to being one of the first titles for the system, unlike SMB3, which didn't have those limitations.

I play a bit too much AoE. I should really get back to development.

I honestly strongly dislike SMB3. The controls were still imperfect (a big improvement over SMB 1, but that's not saying very much) and all the levels just...weren't very interesting. I'm never excited for the desert world, water worlds always suck, the big world was meh, the sky was kinda cool, ice worlds...meh, pipe world more meh. The difficulty was also strangely uneven. Just look at world 8. Those tank levels were brutal...then the rest of the levels provided no challenge. The different power ups were quite fun.

<3 Super Mario World is perfection. The difficulty is a bit on the low side, but the incredibly HUGE world of Super Mario World hacks offer sooooooo many different worlds and challenges. The controls were just absolute perfect in this game.

I don't like Super Mario Bros. 3. The levels are tiny. And I think I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't find its visual aesthetic to be the definition of the Mario series. I like the new power ups like the Racoon and the Frog.

Super Mario World is refined. It is a little bit more on the easy side, but the physics and level design is bliss. Plus Yoshi. Hidden exits. Great music.

the thing about DKC is how beautiful it looked. it's easily the best-looking platformer from that era. and the psyducking MUSIC was also incredible. and to add to that it was just great fun.

I never actually played Super Mario World much, but I love SMB3.

I REALLY liked Super Mario World, that one was good stuff. But Super Mario Bros. 3 was too difficult and I never actually finished it.

oh dear goodness not again

I downloaded Super Mario Bros 2, and The Lost Levels on my 3ds, but I never even came close to beating either of them because I have the attention span of a goldfish.

now you don't have to miss me, pendraflare :D

Super Mario Bros. 3 comes at a close second for me in terms of 2D Mario platformers. It isn't as refined as World, but it's still a blast to play with another person and mock each other for psyduck-ups.
Yeah out of the 3 Mario Brothers the 3rd one is my favorite. I played so many times, with warp whistles and not. But speaking of some NES classics I HATE Mega Man. Not really but their difficulty. I need to buy more money to get 4-7 since I got the 2nd and 3rd.

Never did Mario. Love the Genesis Sonic, hate everything Sonic afterward. All Pokémon is great imo.
