super mario world. the best game of all time is, by default, the best 2D game of all time (if said game is 2D, which it is).

I don't know, wouldn't you need to play every 2D game ever made to come up with a decent answer? All I'm going to say is that I certainly don't think it's SoTN.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Since it is the greatest game of al time, it is also very obviously the greatest 2D game of all time.

There are too many 2D games that could qualify, with some being 2D but in a somewhat 3D movement plane.

You'd have to select from fighters, rpgs, shmups, platforms and action games, as well as anything else.

Super Mario World 2MonsieurX

This. :)

Yoshi's Island is easily the most fun 2D game ever made (unless you hate platformers and/or Yoshi).

Seriously, if you were to poll every editor from every gaming source worlwide, I think SOTN and Super Metroid would share top honors. There haven't been any bad games mentioned, but the idea of some of these being picked over Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is mind boggling.

Super Mario Bros. 3. SOTN is a good one too but SMB3 is the best.

I know it may sound as if I've never played any older ones, which is very untrue, but I'm going to say Super Meat Boy. I genuinely feel it's a better gaming achievement and more fun to play than anything the 6th or earlier gen had to offer, it's just brilliant.

Thx for your opinion. But i totally disagree. 2D games , are so many that i can decide which is the best out of hundreds ive played since atari 2600. Some names come in my mind. Sonic 1 Castlevania Sympony of night Metal Slug Street Hoop pac-man Tetris Street Fighter 2 world champions Raiden Super Sidekicks Vectorman Mortal kombat 2 wow man the list is huge if i continue ill write more than 100...

The best 2D really shouldn't be a game that isn't even the best in its own series.

Super Metroid and SOTN are on the list, so are Sonic And Knuckles 3 and SMB 3. need one more game to make the poll.
