New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Sonikku]

It needs a Super Mario World type of map.
Super Mario World didn't feel like it was seperated into 9 worlds, though at the same time it is quite obvious. Via Donut Plains or Chocolate Island you may end up in Valley of Bowser's map, giving the idea that all worlds are a whole (except Star and Special World). A single, giant world split into parts with surprise paths/ secrets, that is what made Super Mario World amazing. And that's just the map.
They should scrap 'World Select' and make it one whole world, like SMW.

the smw overworld system was no doubt the coolest thing in smw but when it comes down to the programming portion smw was a literal mess in the overworld department lmao


although it would be neat to see them reuse some smw-ish things like an actual overworld system
