Sonic The Hedgehog 1991 is the most well known game released on the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. It has had numerous ports over the years as well as countless fan projects.

The best way to play Sonic The Hedgehog 1991 is the original '''Genesis/Mega Drive''' release, which has been ported to various systems and collections over the years. Many of said re-releases have emulation inaccuracies, and it is recommended to use a genesis/mega drive emulator or original hardware to play.

}}

Alternatively there is a decompilation of the 2013 android port, which has since been ported to various platforms. Including [[Quality Of Life#QoL-Creep| backporting of Sonic's new moves]]. Widescreen, and other basic QoL.

}}

Additionally there is a fan made edit of this decomp that adds further [[QoL]], A seventh chaos emerald, Super Sonic and a laundry list of other features.

The HD texture pack is a '''must-have.''' It is extremely faithful to the original art direction and is a strict improvement. TTYD+ fixes translation issues and incorrect item descriptions, as well as restoring censorship from the Japanese release. For a 100% faithful play-through, this can be skipped.

Final Fantasy (1987)

{{BWTP/Infobox
| title = Final Fantasy

}}

The best way to play Final Fantasy is a tie between the '''Pixel Remaster''' and the '''PSP remake'''. The pixel remaster is a faithful remaster of the original 1987 NES release with quality of life features such as a quick save and load option, option for new and old music, music player and gallery. Most importantly it keeps the original magic system that differs from the rest of the series.

The best way to play Twilight Princess is '''Dusklight''' a PC port of the 2001 Gamecube decompilation. It is touted as a very feature-complete port with many [[QoL]] improvements.

See below for extra binding options.}}}}
{{Check|{{abbr|QoL|DuskLight has two settings on boot: "Original" and "DuskLight". Original preserves the 2001 release features while DuskLight adjusts the bloom levels, as well as disables some things many players find annoying, such as repeated collectible jingles.

{{Dash|Built-in (unofficial) achievements}}

Due to Dusklight being based on the original 2001 Gamecube release, the controls may not map very well to modern controllers. There are additional mods that port the more standardized Wii U HD release's controls to Dusklight with some catches.

The only fully-featured mod that can remap controller glyphs to different layouts is to use Dawnlight (a fork of Dusklight) that gives three equipment slots like the 2015 HD re-release, along with [https://gamebanana.com/mods/678669 HATenshi's Wii U-like preset UI mod] that gives comprehensive remapping visuals to match all player types to all controller types.

BWTP Admin:

==Conduct==
This wiki is first and foremost a resource to give information on the best way to play games. Despite the fact that this wiki constantly states the "best" way to play a game, it does so via the (dubious, but inevitable) invisible authority of the gaming community at large, and simply presents this information from a neutral point of view. If there is a split, it is the responsibility of the wiki to list both setups as long as there is reason to believe that both setups are valid as to the best way to play a game.

==Strategies==
It is important to note that this wiki does not offer any strategies on playing games. When the wiki says "best way to play" it is simply for the setup, not any commentary on gameplay. For more info check [[What is "best" anyway?]]

==Page Layout==

Pages should always follow the following formula.

* First is the infobox that has the game title and an image of the game's cover.
* Second is a paragraph briefly explaining the game's state, and relevant background information.
* Third is a paragraph that always starts with "The best way to play [game] is [release]"
** for games with multiple options of the highest listed tier the text should be "The best way to play [game] is a split decision between [release] and [release]"
* Fourth is a Table (see below) for games with multiple releases that have differences worth comparing.
* Fifth is plaques, listing gold plaques first, then silver, then bronze. along with relevant extra details below each plaque.
* Sixth is any notable details, extras, and trivia worth mentioning.

==Tables==
When comparing multiple versions of a game, use a wikitable like so:

{| class="wikitable bwtp-breakdown-table"
!  
! Game ver 1
! Game ver 2
! Game ver 3
|-
! Feature
| {{Check|Full support}}
| {{Xmark|No support}}
| {{Dash|Limited support}}
|-
! 2nd Feature
| {{Xmark|No support}}
| {{Dash|Limited support}}
| {{Check|Full support}}
|-
|}

==Plaques==
When listing a single game version you can choose BWTP/Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Gold is used for a definitive version of a game. This is used for a release that is feature complete and satisfactory to the standards of the best way to play wiki. Silver is used for a functional version of a game that has minor issues. Bronze is used for a functional version of a game that has major issues

{{Check|Other Attribute}}
{{Dash|Some minor issue}}
}}

==Patches==
Patches can be listed for games. Try to keep patches to things that are mostly Crash fixes, QoL and translation focused.

BWTP displays the following pills next to patches and the like.

{{BWTP/Pill|Required|type=req}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Recommended|type=rec}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Optional|type=opt}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Avoid|type=bad}}<br>

{{BWTP/Pill|Required|type=req}} is to only be used if it's required for a game to be playable, such as if a game needs the patch in order to boot, or to not crash. {{BWTP/Pill|Recommended|type=rec}} is for patches that are faithful to the original game, and enhance the experience. {{BWTP/Pill|Optional|type=opt}} is for additional patches that may change the game in a manner that is less faithful but is still worth documenting. {{BWTP/Pill|Avoid|type=bad}} is self explanatory.

Additionally details about each patch can be given.

{{BWTP/Pill|Translation|type=tra}} can be used to note a translation patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Delocalization|type=del}} can be used to note a delocalization/decensorship patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|QoL|type=qol}} can be used to note a [[Quality Of Life]] patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Texture|type=tex}} can be used to note a Texture pack.<br>

==Legality==

As per conduct, this wiki is a database of the most commonly accepted opinions of the gaming community as to the best way to play a game. If it includes information of a DRM crack of a game that gives better performance; or builds of leaked source code that give the best way to play- ''it is an obligation of this wiki to provide that information''. Being said <u>this wiki will never link to any pirated content</u>. The purpose of this wiki is to provide information on the best way to play a game, not make a moral or legal judgement.

BWTP Admin: Added table and some info pulled from reddit (eww). I haven't played the game myself, page needs verified by somebody with experience.

{{BWTP/Infobox

}}

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night has has various re-releases with changed/added/region exclusive content.

The best way to play Symphony Of The Night is a split decision between the '''Original PlayStation''', and the '''Xbox 360''' release.

BWTP Admin: /* Plaques */

==Conduct==
This wiki is first and foremost a resource to give information on the best way to play games. Despite the fact that this wiki constantly states the "best" way to play a game, it does so via the (dubious, but inevitable) invisible authority of the gaming community at large. And simply presents this information from a neutral point of view. If there is a split it is the responsibility of the wiki to list both setups as long as there is reason to believe that both setups are valid as to the best way to play a game.

==Tables==
When comparing multiple versions of a game, use a wikitable like so:

{| class="wikitable bwtp-breakdown-table"
!  
! Game ver 1
! Game ver 2
! Game ver 3
|-
! Feature
| {{Check|Full support}}
| {{Xmark|No support}}
| {{Dash|Limited support}}
|-
! 2nd Feature
| {{Xmark|No support}}
| {{Dash|Limited support}}
| {{Check|Full support}}
|-
|}

==Plaques==
When listing a single game version you can choose BTWP/Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Gold is used for a definitive version of a game. This is used for a release that is feature complete and satisfactory to the standards of the best way to play wiki. Silver is used for a functional version of a game that has minor issues. Bronze is used for a functional version of a game that has major issues

| cols = 1
| col1title =
| col1 =
{{Check|Multiple Platforms supported}}
{{Check|Widescreen}}
{{Check|Other Attribute}}
{{Dash|Some minor issue}}
}}

==Patches==
Patches can be listed for games. Try to keep patches to things that are mostly Crash fixes, QoL and translation focused.

BWTP displays the following pills next to patches and the like.

{{BWTP/Pill|Required|type=req}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Recommended|type=rec}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Optional|type=opt}}<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Avoid|type=bad}}<br>

For {{BWTP/Pill|Required|type=req}} this is to only be used if it's required for a game to be playable. Such as if a game needs the patch in order to boot, or to not crash. {{BWTP/Pill|Recommended|type=rec}} is for patches that are faithful to the original game, and enhance the experience. {{BWTP/Pill|Optional|type=opt}} is for additional patches that may change the game in a manner that is less faithful but is still worth documenting. {{BWTP/Pill|Avoid|type=bad}} is self explanatory.

Additionally details about each patch can be given.

{{BWTP/Pill|Translation|type=tra}} can be used to note a translation patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Delocalization|type=del}} can be used to note a delocalization/decensorship patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|QoL|type=qol}} can be used to note a [[Quality Of Life]] patch.<br>
{{BWTP/Pill|Texture|type=tex}} can be used to note a Texture pack.<br>

==Legality==

As per conduct, this wiki is a database of the most commonly accepted opinions of the gaming community as to the best way to play a game. If it includes information of a DRM crack of a game that gives better performance; or builds of leaked source code that give the best way to play- ''it is an obligation of this wiki to provide that information''. Being said <u>this wiki will never link to any pirated content</u>. The purpose of this wiki is to provide information on the best way to play a game, not make a moral or legal judgement.

Cave Story

BWTP Admin: Entries into fields should mark the actual value tied to that column, not the optimal value.

{{BWTP/Infobox

Cave story has had a myriad of ports and re-releases over the years as the creator handed the source code to many people back in the mid to late 2000s before being bought by NiCALiS who released Cave Story+ on multiple platforms.

The best way to play Cave Story is split between '''Cave Story: Tweaked''', A mod of the Cave Story Decomp CSE2 with various [[QoL]], and '''Cave Story+''' with the '''Aeon Genesis Translation Patch''' (AGTP).

Club Penguin was a MMO (massively multiplayer game) that officially ran from 2000 as Penguin Chat until 2007 when it was bought from Rocketsnail by Disney until 2017 when it was shut down. In recent years, fans have created their own servers of Club Penguin with mild to large differences. Some have been shut down over time, but the ones listed below are currently playable and free.

'''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''' is a turn based RPG developed by Nintendo.
BWTP has a split decision between '''The Original Gamecube Release''' and the '''Switch 2 remaster'''.

The HD texture pack is a '''must have''' It is extremely faithful to the original art direction and is a strict improvement. TTYD+ fixes translation issues and incorrect item descriptions, as well as restoring censorship from the Japanese release. For a 100% faithful play-through this can be skipped.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2, similar to [[Sonic The Hedgehog (1991)]] had numerous ports over the years as well as countless fan projects. The best way to play is Sonic 2 Absolute; A mod of the decompilation of the 2013 Android port.

Cave story has had a myriad of ports, and re-releases over the years as the creator handed the source code to many people back in the mid to late 2000s before being bought by NiCALiS who released Cave Story+ on multiple platforms.

The best way to play Cave Story is split between '''Cave Story: Tweaked''', A mod of the Cave Story Decomp CSE2 with various [[QoL]], and '''Cave Story+''' with the '''Aeon Genesis Translation Patch''' (AGTP).
