Alright, since OB1 won't quit pestering me, I'll see what I can do with this debate.
Hmm...where should I start? I guess I'll start with level design. Mario 64 had a wide variety of different themes while SMS had one basic underlying theme. But the levels in SMS had enough unique properties as to make them different from the others. One level had a hotel that you could go inside, one level was a town with a large lake, one was a theme park, one was a beach [those huge mirrors were awesome], there was the overworld which was a town, ect. They both have variety in level design but in their own different ways.
Now let's go onto moves. SMS basically took away the moves that were made irrelivant becuase of the jet pack. Moves such as the long jump and backflip could easily be duplicated using the jet pack. Flying. Flying was definitely something that should have been added to SMS at least once, because flying was awesome. But with the jet pack you at least gain some altitude, although it isn't nearly as much fun as flying.
Metal Mario was cool part of Mario 64, but it wasn't so great that it makes SMS a worse game by not having.
Are you happy now, OB1? Now quit sending me IM's!!
