Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.  I once won a scholarship by talking about how I loved that game.  The art style was just so gorgeous - it felt like video games were finally starting to make the leap from entertainment to art.

"Community, you're back! Wait, you're not Community…"
"No silly, I /am/ Community! I had a great time last season, except for those concept episodes which were performed without my consent.  See you at Jeff and Britta's wedding!"
