Question: Mario World + Mario World 2 = Super Princess Peach (???)

[rodolfotoretti]

Hello!
In fact, the game Super Princess Peach (2005/2006 - Nintendo DS), is a fusion (and a lot of references) of the SNES's games: Super Mario World (1990/1991) and Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (1995).
My big doubt:

1-) Why TOSE/Nintendo made a game similar to SMW1 & 2 (enemires and scenario for example)?
Is there any history about it? Some interview? Any theories? Any logic?

2-) These things can be considered "rehash" or "throwback"? It's a bad thing?

Thank you!

I'd say throwback. But they also referenced SMB3 by bringing Ptooies back.

I'm newbie on this subject... Throwback would be a bad thing? (or lazy?)

 

[UltraMario]

Of course not! They throwbacked SM64 in SMG2, is THAT a bad thing?

I'm sure SPP sprites are just based on some of those sprites and I think those references to earlier games are a good thing

Um, don't label people if you don't know them. Even then, don't label people in general.

I do not label it was just a question.

Don't jump to conclusions nevertheless

Throwback was no laziness, as they've rebuilt the entire Model for it, and designed countless of new obstacles on it.
And as far as I'm aware of, Super Mario World 2 is Yoshi's Island.
