* BrokenBase: Over whether the NES or SNES version is better. The NES version feels and plays much more like an actual game, but its educational content is a lot shallower, and it can be difficult to work out where exactly you're supposed to return the objects to, leading to a lot of TrialAndErrorGameplay. The SNES version by contrast is a lot more straightforward and its educational content more informative, but also duller as a result. And then there are those who simply think that the entire concept of a Mario-based educational game is a terrible idea, and both games are similarly poor.
