The main campaign is world 3, and you can unlock world 1 and 2 by obtaining stars, so I'll use this to review all 3 first Fancy Pants games as a whole (Super Fancy Pants is "world 4", in case you're wondering).
Fancy Pants is one of the faces (ironically) of the flash games, with smooth movement, and minimalistic designs, it was easy for it to stand out among the thousands of other games available, so it wasn't a surprise when the sort but sweet World 1, got 2 sequels, which expanded in controls, scenarios, enemies, and mechanics; if you play chronologically, the evolution is clear.
World 1 is extremelly nostalgic for me, I remember I was so dumb I couldn't even beat it; I was never really fond of World 2 and its expanded non-linear level design; and World 3 is like the pinacle of the series (I haven't played Super yet), with a ton of new levels, creative mechanics, a decent plotline, secrets, challenges, etc, etc... However, I think there could be more bosses, and levels could be shorter, it gets really repetitive by the end.
After all, I'm not really sure if it's worth playing this for any reason other than nostalgia, I know most people played it as a kid, but I can't really tell if a newcomer would find it interesting.
