In light of our recent Top 200 Games of All Time feature I thought I’d settle the matter on the best Mario game ever. Many people choose Super Mario Bros. 3 and don’t realize that they’re completely wrong. Super Mario World is way better. If you still need convincing, here are five really great reasons.

1)GRAPHICS
Just look at that these guys. Can’t you see that World is better? 3’s shoes are the same color as his shirt for chrissakes!

2)CAPES ARE COOLER THAN FURRY SUITS
Do you think Batman and Superman would still be around if they wore silly tails and fuzzy outfits?

3)THE WIZARD SUCKS
3 was in a really dumb commercial that lasted 100 minutes.

4)TASTIER LEVELS
World has stages like Donut Plains, Cookie Mountain, and Chocolate Island. What does 3 have? Grass Land, Desert Land, Pipe Land. Gross.

5)DINOSAURS
World rides around on the back of a freakin’ dinosaur that will eat absolutely anything. 3 prefers to hop around in a big green shoe.
