About Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is a platform video game acting as a prequel to 1990's Super Mario World. The game casts players as Yoshi as he escorts Baby Mario through 48 levels in order to reunite him with his brother Luigi, who had been kidnapped by Baby Bowser's minions. As a Super Mario series platformer, Yoshi runs and jumps to reach the end of the level while solving puzzles and collecting items. In a style new to the series, the game has a hand-drawn aesthetic and is the first to have Yoshi as its main character. The game introduces his signature abilities to flutter jump, produce eggs from swallowed enemies, and transform into vehicles.

I keep saying I'll compare it properly to Portal 2 in a duel, or actually maybe that's the wrong matchup entirely, but the ranking never seems to move much either way.

Oh non, encore un plombier jaugé face à un extraterrestre en scooter. Quelle surprise.

The duel against Portal 2 always gets mocked but it says something that a PLATFORMER from this era still holds its ELO against something so different in design.

Mock it all you want, the win rate speaks for itself and I'll keep voting for it every duel.

Every time it faces Portal 2 I just shrug and vote out of habit at this point.

Para mí sigue siendo el que mejor entendió lo que significaba diseñar un nivel de plataformas, con esa dificultad opcional que nadie te obliga a buscar.
Lucky_Jacobi
esa dificultad opcional, sí, la conozco bien.
Arcade_Maillard
Pourquoi on le compare toujours à Super Mario World alors que le level design n'a franchement rien à voir ? Perso je trouve qu'il tient mieux la comparaison face à Mario Bros 3, plus proche dans l'esprit des puzzles à résoudre niveau après niveau. Quelqu'un d'autre voit ça comme ça ou je suis juste nostalgique ?

Pero ese ritmo perdido tiene su lado bueno, te obliga a mirar cada rincón del nivel.

Frente a Mario Bros 3 no le veo tanta ventaja la verdad, ese juego tenía un ritmo que aquí se pierde en varios tramos... lo jugué de niño en casa de un vecino y me acuerdo del ritmo, no de los puzzles.
