Super Mario's Wacky Worlds should have stayed buried
by Justin McElroy

Created for the ill-fated Phillips CD-i by Novalogic, SMWW took Mario out of the Mushroom Kingdom (bold!) and plopped him in real-world locales like Egypt (puzzling!). Though touted as a successor to Super Mario World, it seems this would have been lucky to have been a successor to Hotel Mario.

GOTY 2009!!!!

But honestly, any Mario game that wasn't on a Nintendo system was practically guaranteed to be shitty.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 7th 2009 11:04PM
Oh god. Have we not already been through this with Uncharted 2?
Please don't let tmac read this article. Please.

But that isn't Bubble Bobble:ODST.

This guy has a very unhealthy obsession with me. I'm trying to decide if he's up to stalker status yet, which would be my third.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 7th 2009 11:22PM
How can I be stalking you when you hadn't even commented?
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 7th 2009 11:26PM
Because all you seem to be able to think about is me, which is flattering and yet extremely creepy at the same time.

I remember when I had a Stalker, it was Mr. Esc, he used to call me his bitch cuz I dont like Banjo kazooie or whatever it was called
JXCgunrunna @ Sep 8th 2009 12:09AM
Actually he called you A bitch because ur a fucking tool fanboy
Leo161 @ Sep 8th 2009 12:19AM
How the hell did you not like Banjo-Kazooie?! Best game ever! (before the 360 and GBA versions)
Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 8th 2009 12:51AM
what is this "vagine" creature you speak of?
mezzaninex @ Sep 8th 2009 2:20AM
Vagine was my favorite lesser-known Dragonball Z character.
T @ Sep 7th 2009 11:05PM
It LOOKS better than the Zelda CDI game. If they would've pulled it off...who knows. But in that stage it looked like crap.
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 7th 2009 11:09PM
Trust me, anything is better than complete shit.
[ArchiGamer] @ Sep 7th 2009 11:06PM
Is there anything from Nintendo that CD-i didn't completely rape and leave at a ditch?!
MRLN the Amazing @ Sep 8th 2009 4:30AM
Metroid is still pure.
No Kill Tayler @ Sep 7th 2009 11:08PM
Man...CDI...
I don't even...know
Mr. Manly ESC Mcbeefington Ferguson The Second @ Sep 7th 2009 11:10PM
Nop it shouldn't have existed neither those CDi games but at least something good came out of them:

LINK MAH BOIIIIII!
Jawmuncher @ Sep 7th 2009 11:57PM
Seems CD-i was made for the fact to give some great Youtube Poop material.
I love it!
BPMOmega [XBL, PSN, Steam] @ Sep 8th 2009 2:22AM
Hell yeah, WalrusGuy. One of the few guys who made YouTube Poops that was actually FUNNY.

Yeah I think it was a good thing most of us never heard about it, that was pretty awful. I need to go play Super Mario World now to cleanse my short term memory.
JXCgunrunna @ Sep 8th 2009 12:11AM
^thats one for the history books kids
Sly Cooper, Attorney at Law @ Sep 8th 2009 12:52AM
why did tmac get downvoted? he [surprisingly] wasn't trolling at all.
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 8th 2009 12:56AM
You haven't been following today's ridiculous events have you? I'll tell you over psn.
Wiizer ($299) Having BC On Your Launch Console? (Priceless) @ Sep 8th 2009 12:57AM
Oops, sorry... Out of habit.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Sep 8th 2009 1:09AM
I have a bad habit of downvoting tmac as well.
Actually, I lied. It isn't a bad habit.
Foetoid @ Sep 8th 2009 1:16AM
I'm gonna just say it for the record:
SMW2: Yoshi's Island >>>>>>>>>>>>>> SMW!!!
tmacairjordan87 @ Sep 8th 2009 1:17AM
See sly, it apparently all started with my uncanny ability of automatically attracting the worst this site has to offer. The rest is explained on PSN whenever you get a chance to get on.
BPMOmega [XBL, PSN, Steam] @ Sep 8th 2009 2:23AM
I'm + tmac on this, as I actually agree with him.
RobinEivets (Soon to be Crimsic) @ Sep 8th 2009 9:19AM
Tmac, you posted an unflaming post...and I'm proud of you. The next step...is posting a slightly (not completely) positive post about someone else, perhaps agreeing with them on a subject...or maybe complimenting their hair, remember the first step's always the most difficult...
Rhandos @ Sep 7th 2009 11:23PM
I don't know what's worse, the game or the narrator's voice.
Massmass @ Sep 8th 2009 12:17AM
I don't usually care for taking aim at things people can't help, but it was clearly a one take and done with it voice-over so yeah, I totally agree. If you can't narrate well, don't do it.
Leo161 @ Sep 8th 2009 12:20AM
Lmao
Judd @ Sep 8th 2009 12:29AM
Can anyone pin down that accent? I'm bad at these sort of things. Scandinavian perhaps?
Fab @ Sep 8th 2009 2:31AM
He's a Geordie, that is he's from Newcastle. Or possibly Sunderland, I've never been good at telling the difference, but that neck of the woods, anyway. His voice didn't sound bad to me, I mean, that's what Geordies sound like.
Travis @ Sep 8th 2009 5:32AM
sounds like someone doing a Scottish Accent...and failing...
cjshrader @ Sep 8th 2009 7:45AM
Geordie LaForge didn't sound anything like that, I think you're lying.
xavier behavior @ Sep 7th 2009 11:23PM
wasn't "mario is missing" in the real world?
i never did finish that game..
Platy @ Sep 8th 2009 12:06AM
Mario's Time machine too !
It even features the amazing meeting of Mario and Leonardo DaVinci !
The two greatest italians ! togheter !!! =D
Quiggy @ Sep 7th 2009 11:25PM
Didn't look too bad, especially when you consider that A) that video was an early stage of development and B) it's on the CD-i. Although saying a game looks good for the CD-i is like saying that Goatse is fine to look at for the Internet.
S. Tiger @ Sep 7th 2009 11:28PM
If only a true Super Mario World 2 was made... ;[

Foetoid @ Sep 8th 2009 1:17AM
Wow tiger, if i only i could repeatedly vote you down into oblivion. As i said before:
SMW2: Yoshi's Island >>>>>>>>>>>>>> SMW!!!
BPMOmega [XBL, PSN, Steam] @ Sep 8th 2009 2:26AM
Yoshi's Island is SMW2 in name only. It was a (awesome) beast of another nature. If we had another Mario World, it'd be another case of 96-something paths to take, multiple power-ups, running up walls, etc...
Yoshi's Island wasn't a Mario game, it was a Yoshi game. And, man, we could use another one that doesn't suck to get that bad taste of Yoshi's Island DS out of my mouth.
S. Tiger @ Sep 8th 2009 6:55AM
Foetoid? More like FoeTOLD.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is great, but it's not Super Mario World. What made Super Mario World fun was the fact that it wasn't a linear path.
Batzarro @ Sep 7th 2009 11:30PM
CD-I was unable to handle Mario? Is there anything CD-I wasn't garbage at?
Jawmuncher @ Sep 7th 2009 11:52PM
Sticky Bear Reading was Great Fun!
No wait...it wasn't
JXCgunrunna @ Sep 8th 2009 12:13AM
I hate to purposefully reply to a post and have nothing relevant to say BUT if you guys would be kind enough to report this asshole below instead of downvote, it would be awesome
