Here's the line where I used the word TEMPLATE and broke your head: "Well thank god an insane man named Shigeru Miyamoto made Super Mario 3 very similar to the obsolete Super Mario Bros instead of using the superior template of Doki Doki Panic. "

I think you misunderstood. It's sarcasm, for starters! I don't think Doki Doki Panic (Super Mario 2) is a superior template!

Oh I think I got what you thought I meant here. You thought I was saying that SMB3 being better makes SMB retroactively better. No, I mean to say that it simply proves I am right in assessing which game has the better gameplay because Shigeru Miyamoto agrees with me.
