Rayman VS Mario, Who's The Real Winner?

If you remember, a while back I created a face-off between Mario and Rayman, foreseeing the winner. Well, now both Super Mario 3D Land and Rayman Origins have been reviewed by IGN, and that means I will be comparing the two in different game aspects-

Graphics- SM3DL has what is arguably the best graphics on the 3DS, which creates a nice, neat game. Meanwhile, Rayman Origins has one of the most interesting and unique artstyles ever, making it just above Mario in this aspect.
Winner- Rayman!
looks better in 3D!


Sound- In Rayman Origins the music track almost perfectly matches the gameplay, and includes some catchy tunes. However, the constant babbling from secondary characters can get annoying. Super Mario 3D Land, however, has an outstanding array of sound effects and old and new music that make this game have one of the most catchy soundtracks in any platformer to date.
Winner- Mario!

Gameplay- Whereas Rayman boasts co-op play and hilarious moves, Super Mario 3D Land has the most addicting and fun game mechanics of any other Mario handheld game to date, and that is saying something!
Winner- Mario!


Did I forget to mention that you can slap your friends?


Lasting Appeal- Rayman Origins offers tons of replayability to have with your mates with numerous amounts of collectibles, however Super Mario 3D Land has a sheer mass of levels! And, with added Streetpass connectivity, it is one of the most replayable games in the Mario series, making this a clear winner.
Winner- Mario!


Winner- Although its graphics will never match Rayman Origin's, Super Mario 3D Land has managed to  trump its competitor in all other categories, making it a must-have for the 3DS. So, therefore, let me say this battle is over and the winner is Super Mario 3D Land!

  1. What about Rayman 1, Gold, 2, 3, Rayman M/Arena...? Rayman Origins is another Rayman game... it's amazing in comparation with another games but not so much in comparation with other games from Rayman series (Rayman 1, Gold, 2, 3, M/Arena are just fantastic). Always talking about those fucking rabbits...

    1. I did love Rayman 2: The Great Escape, but Super Mario 3D Land is an amazing game. I'm not saying that Rayman Origins is a bad game, just that Super Mario 3D Land is better. If it makes you feel better, I am almost certain that Rayman Legends will be better than New Super Mario Bros. U!
