A battle for the ages, but I'm saying 2D Mario is just better than 3D. And while we're on, yes Super Mario 1 and 3 were fantastic in their time, but Super Mario World blows them - and all other 2D platformers - out the water.

Introducing a timelessly gorgeous art style and shaking up the foundations of Mario with tons of new enemies, great new abilities like a flying cape, spin jump, rideable Yoshi and even horror house puzzle levels, it really felt like with the SNES, Nintendo went back to the drawing board in the best way possible.

Soon to see a new lease of life on the SNES Classic Mini, Super Mario World is everything you love about the sound effects and general feel of vintage Mario, modernised enough to result in something that's endlessly playable from beginning to end.
