Which is the better SNES platformer? - Super Mario World vs. Yoshi's Island

"Super Mario World was one of the launch titles for SNES and it showed what the console was capable of. It remains one of my favorite platformers of all time because of the pixel-perfect 2D graphics, its secrets, and how fun and creative the levels are." - Alex Legard from Video Chums

Vote for your favourite at the bottom of the article! :D

I think it’s disrespectful to even poll this. Super Mario World is just better. Bigger Scope. Yoshi’s island has probably only had like half as many of the levels.

We put polls on all of our Versus articles so our visitors can have their say as well as the author picking their favourite. Go democracy! :D

I love both but I give the edge to Yoshi Island. It improved upon everything I liked about SMW 1. These days I'm more inclined to play Yoshi Island over World.

VideoChums1891d ago

Indeed but you really can't go wrong with either - both top-notch games! :D

WeAreLegion1891d ago

Oh, Yoshi's Island. Definitely.

Einhander19711890d ago

I love both but Yoshi’s island just edges it for me. The level design the transformations and use of the FX 2 chip is simply amazing.

Yi-Long1890d ago

I always preferred Super Mario World far more. Yoshi just didn't appeal to me in the same way, visually, and gameplay-wise.

Vita's Swansong is Coming - But What Will it Be?

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Since its launch in 2011, the PlayStation Vita has continually soldiered on despite western AAA support drying up, its own manufacturer moving its efforts to the PS4, and constant internet doom-saying that the console is dead (which, judging by a recent sales leak of North American software, it effectively has been for a number of years). Yet it’s taken until 2018 for Sony to deal the final two death blows – announcing that both production of physical carts in the west and distribution of the hardware worldwide will be ending in 2019.

This made me wonder about when we’ll see the final game land on the console and what form it will take. We already have multiple titles announced for release next year, including some final physical releases sneaking in just before the cut-off point. Even with western physical production ending, carts will still be available in Asia & Japan, and beyond that we’ve been given no date for the shut-down of the PlayStation Store (which will allow strong supporters like Ratalaika Games to keep going). So just what form will the final Vita game actually take?"
