GNGOAT Round 1, Match 30

Welcome to the Greatest Nintendo Game of All Time contest, first round.

The matchups were randomly decided.

I will put the matches up every other day, and each round will be open for three days (so there'll probably be 2 or 3 matches taking place at any one time). I want to get through the first round as quickly as possible.

ROUND ONE, MATCH THIRTY

Super Mario World (SNES)

Super Mario World is a 1990 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo as a pack-in launch title for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). The game centers on the quest of Mario and Luigi to save Dinosaur Land from Bowser, the series' antagonist. Super Mario World was a critical and commercial success, selling over 20 million copies worldwide, and is considered by many critics to be one of the best games ever made. It has been re-released four times.

VERSUS

Pokemon FireRed and Leafgreen (GBA)

Pokémon FireRed Version and LeafGreen Version are enhanced remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Green video games, which were released in 1996. The new titles were developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance. The games received mostly positive reviews, obtaining an aggregate score of 81 percent on Metacritic. Most critics praised the fact that the games introduced new features while still maintaining the traditional gameplay of the series. Reception of the graphics and audio was more mixed, with some reviewers complaining that they were too simplistic and lacked improvement compared to the previous games, Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. FireRed and LeafGreen were commercial successes, selling a total of around 12 million copies worldwide.

WHO WINS? YOU DECIDE.
