The Super Nintendo version or the Switch remake?

Whichever version is easier for you to get/run, honestly. It's the same game.

  • Text: They're basically the same. A few dated references and character names were updated. I liked Mack better than Claymorton, but I get it. Croaka Cola is obviously an improvement.

  • Graphics: The remake is just better. The original was early 3D pre-rendered as pixelated sprites, which was never a great era in game art history.

  • Animation: The original is better, this is my biggest complaint with the remake. Some things are kind of weightless and floppy.

  • Music: They're both great, the remake maybe a bit better. It's entirely reasonable to prefer one over the other on a track by track basis.

  • Mechanics: The remake adds some extra systems to the combat. I don't think they really add anything. They don't ruin anything.

  • Content: The remake has a series of post-game boss fights with weird remixed mechanics. They're not incredible, but it's more stuff than the original had.

Wait why did Mack's name change??

I guess they don't expect people to get a reference to something almost a century old.
