Backtracking in SMW? That's the first time I've ever heard that Oo At what part do you need to backtrack?

Colored blocks, star road. Unless you aren't doing a 100% play through, you do need to backtrack to few levels where you activated color blocks. Some levels you need to play more than once as well because different exits/paths.

I wasn't huge on the backtracking personally.

But when Rayman 1 does it, it's fine?
#DoubleStandards heh

But if we're also going to be specific, my first 3D platformer was Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue.
 
Except Rayman 1 was way less tedious and hardly relied all that much on backtracking only for a few levels. You're comparing two completely seperate platformers.
 
Define "beating." I've not played much of SMW, but from what I understand, playing it normally doesn't require backtracking, but 100%ing does. Rayman 1 makes 100%ing a necessity in order to reach the final boss.

Either ways, I didn't mind backtracking in earlier areas of Rayman 1, but the forced backtrack in that one level in Picture City...
 
Honestly R1's backtracking just didn't bother me, it was very miniscule. I didn't know Super Mario World's was optional. I could've sworn you need some of those color blocks to proceed.

You only need color blocks to get alternate paths to beat a level. While Rayman 1 needs you to have powers you get later in the game in order to get to cages which are needed if you want to get to the last level.
 
Hm, I take back the backtracking then. A problem I did have with SMW is that it doesn't feel NEARLY as varied as SM3 did (at least the GBA and SNES ports)
 
I've tried many times to finish SMB3 but I just kind of get bored with it. I don't know quite what it is, I think it's the level design probably. SMW never really bored me though, so I managed to make it to the end. There are also a faecal load of secrets, though I didn't sumble upon any.

I don't think I've ever finished one of the older SM games. I have both the original and super mario bros 2 on my 3ds on virtual console, but they're both pretty hard, (and I suck, lol). Same goes for Zelda. I've never finished any of the older Zelda games, although I've definitely played most of 'em. I tend to lose track after a while and forget where I was at when I return to playing.
 
My first game was Wii Sports.. i was 3 and it was used as an example in my motor skills.. thanks wii sports!
 
Sadly I can't remember what was my first game ever as I've always been playing games since I was little (who knows, maybe I was already playing on my Gameboy when I was in my mother's womb :lol: )

I remember many of the first games I had were the LCD screen ones, had one about Spyro that I got in an Happy Meal at McDonald's.
I used to play many educational games on PC, but probably the first REAL game I ever played is Rayman 1 on PC :D
 
The first game I ever remember playing was a random mobile game where you would tun zombies over with cars. The first proper game though was Minecraft on my old Xbox!
