I guess it's a Mario thread

Also should I replay any of the New Super Mario games? I've only beat the ds ones, and I found 2 extremely underwhelming.

Yoshi's Island is excellent, one of the best Mario games out there; it's best on the SNES, and very poor on the GBA. I'd just emulate it.

As for Mario 64, just play the original. The DS version has some solid extras, but the controls suffer a lot on portable systems.

I feel like the GBA version of 2 is the best version of that game.

As for 3, I would have never beat that game without a save feature.

Is the gba version that bad?

Yeah, music sounds hollow and garbled, colors are washed out, and overall you're just doing yourself a disservice playing the worse version of one of the game platformers out there.

As for >>383672242, don't bother. Modern 2D Mario is pretty dead, whereas I feel like the Donkey Kong Country series has replaced it. New Super Mario Brothers are just uninspired rehashes whereas the newer DKC games are legitimately creative and a lot of fun.

Mario Advance 3 is one of the few times I'd recommend the port over the original. Yes the music gets royally fucked but you get 6 bonus levels that take the game's ideas and crank them up to 11.

Endless World of Yoshis will sodomise you.
