Super Mario World is one of my favorite games ever so it's getting a vote. Super Metroid is on my list of games to play in 2016 but I highly highly doubt I'll like it better than World.

A good Mario game versus "where the hell do I go?! The game"
I take Mario any day.

Some people like that. I think SM takes it a bit far.

I actually think Super Metroid is pretty straightforward as far as this kind of game is concerned, since there's really only one logical path based on your abilities at hand, unless you're sequence breaking.

I got lost constantly, even at the start.
Finally gave up shortly after Kraid during our game of the month thingie.

Odd that I don't bring this up until the quarterfinals, but my biggest issue with Super Metroid is that I felt like the wall jump controls were too picky. Or at least for my clumsy thumbs. Seriously.

I feel it as well and I also find the same issue about activating the shinespark.
That's why I always felt that Fusion and Zero Mission are better games, for what concerns gameplay and level design at least.

On a side note I hated that in SMW you couldn't beat the game by just beating every level normally.

As in beat the game 100%? What's the issue with that?
