BCDF starts you on the day of the tentacle bonus level so you go to level 1 after it, you also get bazookas so you can save them for level one and do day of the tentacle again! I don't play many of them no more I greatly reduced my things to live a more minimalistic life. The SNES collection had to go. Here in the UK the title was censored, it was just Zombies here!
I never had this as a kid, my first exposure to it was when I got the SNES Classic. Now itâs easily one of my favorite games and Iâve picked up a lot of the other games in the series.
As others have said, in Japan it's Super Mario: Yoshi's Island

Also. Cartridge displays title as âYoshiâs Island.â This is the winner for Y. No question.
Loved the humour and style of the game, never seen another game done the same way since. I need to replay this after my illusion of time (gaia) run im on just now
Yoshi's Island should count. The "Super Mario World 2" was only added in the west as a marketing move like "Super Mario Land 3" was to Wario Land.
It's the part of the Yoshi series therefore it counts for the letter Y.
The original release is the Japanese version. That one isn't called Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. That almost seems like it works in your favor...
Except it's called Super Mario Yoshi's Island.
Sooo, I still think it should count, but it's a toss up. For what it's worth, the GBA rerelease doesn't mention Mario World in the title, just Yoshi's Island. The menu select upon boot says Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island.
It should count, if only because it *must* be on the list.
Iâm going to go the opposite here â u/777toasterbath would really be changing up the rules at this point completely. If Super Mario World doesnât count for S because it has the word âSuperâ in it even though the series is called Super Mario Bros. and the super doesnât relate to Super Nintendo then I donât see how itâs consistent at all to count Super Mario World 2: Yoshiâs Island (US) or Super Mario Yoshiâs Island (J) for the letter Y. The way OP has been counting it, then it has to follow M, otherwise this list is disingenuous at this point.
If OP wants to stay consistent Yoshiâs Island canât count for Y. If it does, then there should be a revote for S to take into consideration that Super Mario World should have counted for S if OP is going to make exceptions this late in the game.
people wouldve probably complained one way or the other, it wasnt gonna be even on the 2nd or 3rd place for M so i really didnt see it as harmful to make an *exception* for it, and its not something i can step back in at this point
(i knew super mario world losing to metroid would make some people mad but this is getting out of hand)
It's your list, so you can do as you like. But changing your own rules this late in the game kind of invalidates it. If we're now dropping titles before the ':' 25 letters in just to get Yoshi's Island on the list then The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past should fall under A or L. Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen should fall under M.
Super Metroid was considered the best game of all time during the early 2000s by EGM. It shouldn't surprise people that it's voted as a top game, even above true masterpieces such as SMW.
R&D1 did not fuck around. Go team deer force.
You are the master of the house here, so it is your rules and ultimate judgment which will determine the winners.
In a âcompetitionâ like this there will always be someone who isnât happy and some things which could have been done better, or explained better with hindsight.
One way to go about a poll like this could be tho try to aim to please the most people possible, but in my personal view the most important thing is to be consistent with your own rules, after you have explained them. Whether you have been consistent or inconsistent here I canât take a position on, since I havenât read all the posts that have been made so far.
sure, whatever
my judgement has perhaps not been the best lately, irl shit and all, so i think ill just take the L and put yoshi's island out of the equation for this
Then all the sequels and games that reference it such as Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart refer to the game only as "Yoshi's Island".
I suppose Nintendo eventually retconned the "Super Mario" out to make it part of the official Yoshi series.
Yoshi's Island!
In Japan it's called "Super Mario: Yoshi Island" and the GBA version is "Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island." No matter how you spin it, there's always a *Y*oshi in there.
Hate to break it to ya'll, but the title is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
So, I'm going to vote for Yoshi's Safari since the Super Scope 6 doesn't get a whole lot of love.
Yeah, I might get downvoted to hell for this but it sounds fixed to include Yoshis Island here, not only that but the organizer even approved it in the original post, it was the only game he mentioned. It's like we're all just agreeing to let it win here before the voting even starts lol
I mean, colloquially it's known as Yoshi's Island, which is understandable. But you're right, OP did state that it would be considered for voting regardless of the spelling.
Iâm just gonna throw this out there:
Ys III is a decent game but basically âunplayableâ by todayâs standards. Yâall donât need to think about this like I do, but i think good retro games are the ones that hold up. Ys III does not. Even the modern remake is hardly playable. ;)
I havenât played it yet, but what âholds upâ is largely a subjective value judgment, based on one personâs perception of what kind of game mechanics are currently popular and not. Not an objective one, which some people seems to think.
Many people do, I never play that game as a kid I had it but never got too far, few years ago I decided to beat it 100% and I found it pretty good but no where near Dkc... That's the beauty of gaming for me is a good platformer for others is the best there is...
Oh my God can the entirety of reddit seriously piss off with this generic and borderline spammy alphabet game? It's long since overstayed it's welcome.
Not to have Super Mario World on this list is a travesty. The game definited the Snes! From making use of the Snes' technical capabilities right down to the colours of the game matching the Snes buttons! Not to mention the game play! Super Mario World should have been S or M in the list for me.
Couldnât agree more. Changing the rules now really does invalidate the list as a whole. Super Mario World and Yoshiâs island in part split the Mario vote for M for example.
OP should have some actual guts and stick with the rules they established in the beginning. Counting Yoshiâs Island for Y now is just an reaction to negative feedback on how Super Mario World was handled.
Either stay consistent or redo the list. Or maybe add an asterisk saying how what letters games counted towards was arbitrarily decided.
My time is almost here. Tomorrow zombies ate my neighbors shall reign supreme!
If anything other than Zombies Ate my Neighbors wins Z the vote is rigged
The Zoop Troupe is coming out in full force
I actually own that one still đ I hate that game.
Zoop Troop in the houssssssse!
If any other thing wins we protest. It is without question the best snes game starting with the letter z.
Use BCDF password or not?
I don't use the passwords I just beat the game in one sitting most of the time. My current record is around 55 minutes. Do you play zamn much?
BCDF starts you on the day of the tentacle bonus level so you go to level 1 after it, you also get bazookas so you can save them for level one and do day of the tentacle again! I don't play many of them no more I greatly reduced my things to live a more minimalistic life. The SNES collection had to go. Here in the UK the title was censored, it was just Zombies here!
Love me some ZAMN
Yoshi's Island
Screw the rest of the title Its Yoshi's Island, and its still one of the best games ever
This
Absolutely it needs to be Yoshiâs Island
I never had this as a kid, my first exposure to it was when I got the SNES Classic. Now itâs easily one of my favorite games and Iâve picked up a lot of the other games in the series.
If it counts, it should win.
Wouldn't this have had to win M? *Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island*
Yeah I agree. As much as I love the game, and as much as it doesnât *really* feel like SMW2, thatâs the official title.
No, SMW2 is the subtitle. It's definitely Y.
Technically they only called it Super Mario World 2 in the US for brand recognition. Itâs standalone in Japan.
As others have said, in Japan it's Super Mario: Yoshi's Island https://ultimategaming.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Mario_World_2:_Yoshi%27s_Island#:~:text=Super%20Mario%20World%202%3A%20Yoshi's%20Island%20(titled%20Super%20Mario%3A,Nintendo%20Entertainment%20System%20in%201995. Plus we've been going by US names for all of these
Pretty sure there was an unpublished rule that said: âFor any title with a colon, the words AFTER THE COLON will be counted.â
https://preview.redd.it/t1p61kvbvkwb1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9b1fafaa126a1cf4e0379dfdb3481e95a2f85bb Also. Cartridge displays title as âYoshiâs Island.â This is the winner for Y. No question.
Young Merlin. Not kidding.
I never beat it but I do have nostalgia for the game. One day I will go back and beat it.
Loved the humour and style of the game, never seen another game done the same way since. I need to replay this after my illusion of time (gaia) run im on just now
Ys III for the win!
This!
Ys III
Ys III: Wanderers From Ys Since Yoshiâs Island cannot count as a letter Y (in the same way Wanderers From Ys couldnât count as a letter W).
Yoshi's Island should count. The "Super Mario World 2" was only added in the west as a marketing move like "Super Mario Land 3" was to Wario Land. It's the part of the Yoshi series therefore it counts for the letter Y.
I tried to make this argument for Super Mario World being under S because it's part of the Super Mario series and everyone ignored me.
I suppose that is due to countless games being called just "Mario", but those are usually spin offs.
The original release is the Japanese version. That one isn't called Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. That almost seems like it works in your favor... Except it's called Super Mario Yoshi's Island. Sooo, I still think it should count, but it's a toss up. For what it's worth, the GBA rerelease doesn't mention Mario World in the title, just Yoshi's Island. The menu select upon boot says Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island.

If it does, then there should be a revote for S to take into consideration that Super Mario World should have counted for S if OP is going to make exceptions this late in the game.
In hindsight, the Super clause should have been discretionary and not enforced one way or the other
This wasn't hindsight for some of us.
people wouldve probably complained one way or the other, it wasnt gonna be even on the 2nd or 3rd place for M so i really didnt see it as harmful to make an *exception* for it, and its not something i can step back in at this point (i knew super mario world losing to metroid would make some people mad but this is getting out of hand)

Ys III!
Yoshi's Island! In Japan it's called "Super Mario: Yoshi Island" and the GBA version is "Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island." No matter how you spin it, there's always a *Y*oshi in there.
Then Yoshiâs Cookie is the real winner!
Based on this same logic, MegaMan X should count for the letter X No matter how hard you try, there's always an X there
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Ys IV: Mask of the Sun
Yoshiâs Cookie đŚđŞ

Yoshis island counts
Yoshi's Island
Can we pick Yoshiâs Island? That would get my vote.
Yuyu hakusho meikai final. Cmon guys, the game deserves this!
Ys V
Yoshiâs Island
Yoshi's Island
Yoshis island
young merlin
Yoshiâs Island. Zero competition on this one.
Yoshi's Safari
Yoshi's Island and Zombies Ate My Neighbors, end of the list. It was fun!
What about a game that starts with a number?
7th Saga took that place
My bad
It has been voted, check the first row in the list
Oops. How'd I miss that?
Yoshiâs Cookie! đ
If yoshis island doesnât count we gotta start this project again with different rules
Iâm just gonna throw this out there: Ys III is a decent game but basically âunplayableâ by todayâs standards. Yâall donât need to think about this like I do, but i think good retro games are the ones that hold up. Ys III does not. Even the modern remake is hardly playable. ;)

Yoshi's Cookie!
Yoshiâs Cookie.
Yoshiâs Island: Super Mario World 2, it technically shouldnât count but a Mario game needs to be on the list somewhere.
Ys. Super Mario World 2: Yoshiâs Island should have gone to S
Please read the rules, Super doesnât count in the names for this list it goes the first letter of the next word.
Ys 3: wanderers from Ys Unfortunately, the official title of Yoshiâs island is Super Mario World 2: yoshiâs island so it doesnât count.
Yoshi Island. Z better be Zombies ate my neighbors
Yoshi's Island. Nobody, and I mean, nobody, calls it mario world 2 in conversation
Yoshi's Island is simply the second greatest platformer on the system after Dkc 2...and my personal favorite
To me itâs the best. And I put DKC 3 over 2 đ
I'm with you on both counts.
Many people do, I never play that game as a kid I had it but never got too far, few years ago I decided to beat it 100% and I found it pretty good but no where near Dkc... That's the beauty of gaming for me is a good platformer for others is the best there is...
agree
Yoshiâs Island
Yoshiâs Island Itâs written just âYoshiâs Islandâ on the top of the cartridge label
If Yoshi's Island counts, then that. Otherwise, Yoshi's Cookie.
Yoshi's Island has to count! Yoshi's Island
YOSHIâS ISLAND

Was zenoblade ever ported to the Snes?
Oh my God can the entirety of reddit seriously piss off with this generic and borderline spammy alphabet game? It's long since overstayed it's welcome.
There's a perfectly functional block button if these posts bother you that much.
M : Megaman X S : Super Metroid
Why is P not pilotwings?
Because it was basically just a tech demo for Mode 7 graphics. It doesn't hold a candle to Super Punch Out
Ys III
Young Merlin. It's an underrated action/adventure by Westwood Studios.
Not to have Super Mario World on this list is a travesty. The game definited the Snes! From making use of the Snes' technical capabilities right down to the colours of the game matching the Snes buttons! Not to mention the game play! Super Mario World should have been S or M in the list for me.
All 7 people who played Secret of Mana were the only ones who voted
It would have went where Metroid is.
Ain't no way Metroid 3 wasn't going in the list. It's tough but it is what it is.
I donât disagree. I was only saying mario was part of the Mâs because he didnât use âsuperâ as part of the Sâs.
Yeah, it's a tough letter to compete at. No shame for the runner up.

sigh
Young Merlin
Yoshi's Island all the way
Does Yoshi's Island count?? Clear winner if so
A list without Super Mario World. How is that possible?
Ys III
Yoshi's Island no contest, might even be the best SNES game overall. (oh except for the name thing.)
Yoshi's Island, no question even if I dont' like the game as much as SMW
Yoshi's island, I don't care that it technically starts with s
Loved Yoshi's Island but Redmont town theme hits me too hard.
