Can you guess what Shigeru Miyamoto’s personal favorite Mario game is? When asked by USA Today, the Nintendo mastermind readily answered Super Mario World, explaining:
“Super Mario World is something that included of course all the action you saw in Super Mario Bros…(but) it also had the map features, so it also had that element of players having to think about where they were going and what they were going to do next. I also think that it is a game that developed a large number of staff people who became producers and directors.”
Makes somewhat sense from his perspective I suppose, but I think I’ll personally prefer Super Mario Bros. 3 for its replay value alone (read: Super Mario World was too hard). Which was your favorite?
