I never owned a SNES so both of the games are new to me!
Right now I own SM64, F-zero, Gunstar heros!

i'd just get one game at a time and beat it, then look at the games that are out afterwards and go from there. But that's just me.

If they're both new to you get Super Mario World

Donkey Kong Country is a let down for people who didn't play it the first time

Get Mario World first, then by the time you've cleared it you ought to have been able to save up another $8 to get Donkey Kong Country.

Donkey Kong Country doesn't hold up as well as Mario does.
That was cutting edge back in the day but it aged horrible hence the posts all over the place here when it was released asking what was wrong with the emulator.

The platforming is too simple and has been outdone many times since it's been released while Mario is the framework on a lot of games. DKC was great for it's time but just like Flashback on the Genesis doesn't fit in well these days as far as a great game.
People who purchased the game or just want a light fun platformer should pick it up, if you want something that holds up better you're better off with a Mario title or a Kirby

Personally, I think DKC and SMW are two of the top games on the VC right now. They are the only two games I've bought so far, as I consider them "must-buys".

DKC is ok (I don't remember it being that short when I played it years ago), sort of short for me. But SMW is the one you want to go with. The game is long, fun, and tons of stuff to do on there. I say get both, but if you can only get one then go with SMW.

Both, man.  Donkey Kong Country rocks.  Super Mario World rocks.  Classics in their own rights.

SMW out of those 2. I think even the first Sonic The Hedgehog was better though, even though SMW is amazing. I'm a huge classic Sonic fan though, and Sonic is just so much better than Mario in the fact that it gives you an adrenaline rush when you play it. And I love that feeling in video games (that's why I like arcade racers, intense shooters, and heavy action games better than anything turn based or relatively slow). Sonic>SMW>DKC

Super Mario World is better but both are great and worth getting.

And anyone who buys Sonic is an idiot. You can buy Sonic Mega Collection out of the bargain bin and get every 2D Sonic game ever released plus Ristar and Flicky as well as many extras.

Super Mario world is way better in my opinion than Donkey Kong country but Mine Kart Carnage for DKC is a blast.

Only get SMW if you have a Classic controller, seriously, Super Mario World is super hard to play on the Gamecube controller.

you can also get Super Mario World for a dollar at a pawn shop. What's your point? This isnt about the price.

If you're going to play SNES games, you really need to get the Classic Controller for the best controls.
