I played Yoshi's Island GBA remake in 2003, I think

I'm not really sure. I would have gotten both in 1995. I probably played Yoshi's Island first.

On the best sick day ever, I stayed home from school and beat Super Mario Bros. 2. Later that night, when I was feeling better, I went to the store and my mom bought me Yoshi's Island.

Since Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World came with my SNES, I would have beaten Super Mario World, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Bros. 2 within a relatively short time frame. Oddly enough, I didn't beat Super Mario Bros. 1 until a year or two later.

I do remember reading the instruction manual for Super Metroid and thinking, "Samus is a girl...? That's pretty cool." Come to think of it, that was probably the first game with a female lead that I ever played to competion.

I don't think I've ever played Yoshi's Island. I probably played Super Metroid like 10ish years ago.

Super Metroid. I tried Yoshis Island much later and hated the crying baby gimmick.

I played Super Metroid first by a long shot... But never came remotely close to beating it. I rented it and it didn't come with the manual. So Noob Bridge defeated me completely. I didn't finish it until like 2013.

On the other hand I played Yoshi's Island probably a year later than my first attempt at Super Metroid and had a blast beating it over a weekend rental
If it was about babies we'd have universal maternal care. There would be no charge no matter how complex the delivery. But its not about babies, is it?

I'm not sure, but probably Super Metroid, I actually owned it. I only ever rented Yoshi's Island.

Played Yoshi's Island at a friend's house thinking it was the first Mario World. Was disappointed.

Wouldn't play Super Metroid for another five or so years

Super Metroid. I went on an emulation binge like a decade ago. I'm almost certain I played Super Metroid first.

Actually didn't like Yoshi's Island all that much. I'm not even sure I finished it tbh

Super Metroid. Got it for my 10th birthday in summer 94.

My grandma took me to Hills (an awesome regional store that Walmart killed). She bought it for me. We went to Kentucky Fried Chicken after.

It was a great day!

I got Megman X in the mail a few days later from my Uncle. It was a good birthday for games.

I got Yoshi Island I think Christmas eve 95 from my other grandma.

Common sense says it may not taste good, but it'll make a turd.

I honestly can't remember. I can't remember if I owned Super Metroid when I was younger, but I did play it a lot so I probably rented it often, but I did own Yoshi's Island. I know I do own a copy of Super Metroid but I sold my original copy of Yoshi's Island.
Without truth, there is nothing.

I own Super Metroid, but I've actually only ever played just a little bit of Yoshi's Island and never owned it. I'm not sure why I've never really played it.
