Folk are gonna try to defend Mario's quest design because of its generation, ignoring that games like Final Fantasy and The Legend of Zelda managed to have incredible world building and deep stories with the same technology in the same era

Not to dunk on Mario, there's a reason it's widely considered one of the greatest games of all time

I guess the instructions of a quest are just the tip of the iceberg. The goal of mario was just to go right all the way. The real design was the obstacles in the way.
