It’s especially telling with Mario Maker where all of the physics are the same (NSMBU physics) across all visual styles but people still perceive differences that don’t exist. If any game would feel like it was on ice it'd be SMB3 due to the slower acceleration and longer skids. It has the skidding distance of SMW but the similar stopping speed of SMB3. It has the 0-100 acceleration of SMW and the 100-0-100 acceleration SMB3. NSMBU is a combination of aspects of those 2 games. In short, the long windup and cool down compared to SMB3 and SMW do not exist.

NSMBU adds an animation of Mario running in the direction you are holding, so this may lend to the perception that there is less control here. If you try to stop before landing a jump, you will instead stop pinpoint. In all 3 of the games you will only skid if you try to stop after landing a jump. If you do the same thing in SMW you will overshoot that spot by about 4 blocks. If you run and jump from a platform and then reverse direction after jumping you will land on the spot you jumped from. SMW and NSMBU take about 2 blocks, but NSMBU has a bit more of a pause on the stop that puts it about in line with SMB3 in how long it takes to change direction.Īs for air control, SMB3 and NSMBU are about the same. So what about stopping? SMB3 has the worst skidding at full speed. However, SMW is the fastest at getting back up to top speed after stopping while SMB3 and NSMBU are tied. What I found is that SMB3 has the slowest acceleration from 0 p and SMW and NSMBU are tied. The blue star is how far you have to run right from the very left edge of the screen to refill the p-meter after having first run to the left at full speed.

The red star is how far you have to run right from the very left edge of the screen to fill the p-meter and run at top speed starting with the p-meter completely empty.
