I know it and I support it.

I know it and I support it.

It's pretty funny when you said this. Look at your avatar.

The thread-starter person should make it a single choice next time. I picked both 2D and "They're both pwnahsum!!!!!!!!!!!111!1!", just for s**ts and giggles. And while I love the 3D games, primarily Sunshine, I do prefer 2D.

BUT. I know a Mario game that's better than any other game in the world. Only it isn't Mario. Begins with an "M", though.

They are equal in win!

Corphish? I guess it can be found at the beach...

No... you said "I know it and I support it."

Now look at the pose your avatar is in.

It was a very, very good game even for Mario standards. Better then 64 though you say? Fox only. No items. Final Destination.

... I really couldn't decide as to whether I like one more than the other without feeling that I made mistake. I'd have to go for both on this one.

I've played more 3D mario than 2D, but I think from what I've sampled, tasted, and then swallowed, it's a tough call to say one is superior in the entertainment it provides.

I also voted for both. I've played both 2D and 3D Mario games and all of them are great. They each have their own strengths, and few, if any, real weaknesses. My favorite games are Super Mario Galaxy for the 3D, and for the 2D, it's a three-way tie between Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Long live the Koopalings!

Both are brilliant but I personally prefer 2D - apart from SMB2 which wasn't very fun to play.
I like 2D better as the games (generally) have better multiplayer, and in my opinion, better platforming.
But I will say the 3D games have better plot.

NSMBWii > SMG, so I'd have to go with 2D.

Metroid?

By the way, I am happy to see my thread thrive.

It's Mario.

Quality is assured no matter what.

You'll just get really frustrated along the way.

*goes back to Bullshit: The Game (also known as Mario Kart Wii Online mode).*

I would have to disagree to that statement. Even Mario's been in a bunch of crap games, and I've played a lot of them.

It was a very, very good game even for Mario standards. Better then 64 though you say? Fox only. No items. Final Destination.

I rofl'd. Oh, tourneytards... you're all very precious. <3

I prefer 2d. The simple point A to point B gameplay appeals to me more and the 2d games seem to be much more focused on actual platforming than collecting Stars. I haven't played Super Mario Galaxy yet though so my opinion could change.

this sums up my thoughts perfectly. 2D makes for a more simple and overall fun experience than searching a sandbox for some McGuffin. I also can't say I enjoyed the way Super Mario 64 suddenly got rid of the power-ups (permanent power-ups, at any rate), but that's more an issue I have with the game's design more than 2D vs. 3D in general (though after the 3D switch, it sure took a long-ass time to bring any power-ups back to the franchise, for whatever reason).

BUT. I know a Mario game that's better than any other game in the world. Only it isn't Mario. Begins with an "M", though.

a Mario game that's not Mario... Melee? I guess that starts with an "M" by technicality.

both are great, but it's mario, so I would expect great regardless of what type it is
