I have a lot of thoughts on Mario world. I've been playing this game on and off for years both on SNES and NSO.
This is a game I really want to like a lot more than I do (and I already think it's very good). This was the mario game I always wanted to play as a kid and probably has my favorite art style of the classic 2d mario games.
I think I would love this game a lot more if I hadn't played mario maker 1 and 2 first. The mario world theme in those games controls very different compared to the original mario world and it took me a very long time to get used to the more floaty and slippery feeling controls of the original game.
The button layout really didn't gel with me either. I rarely ever spin jumped cause it felt too awkward trying to do it while keeping a fast speed and I'm really happy they updated the control scheme for the mario maker games.
Once you get used to it, the game is a lot of fun. The cape feather is great, yoshi is great, the levels and the challenge are really good, the music is great, but I just prefer the tighter controls of mario 3 and the mario maker games. If the controls were more similar to those other games this would probably be my favorite 2d mario, but as is it's still very fun.
Going for 100% was fun too. Gettting the extra dragon coins in some of the special stages made for a fun extra challenge.
