Best Mario Game of all time?

[thiswokendream]

Which is your favorite?

[Oddpac87]

Not even waiting for you to put the poll up. Haha. Mario Kart 64. Hands down.

There was a big argument at a party a few weeks ago as to what the "majority" would call the best Mario game ever. These were the options. Sorry no Mario Kart, lol.

HOWEVER, I do LOVE the Mario Kart games!

[Oddpac87]

In that case, Super Mario Bros. 3, which is what I started writing in my first post, until I realized Mario Kart might be on your list.

[Mirrorsandfevers]

I liked SMB3 a lot, and I also liked RPG. I chose 3.

[TreyForest]

super mario 64, i still remember getting up like super early on saturday/sunday mornings to play it when it came out
took me so long to beat 2
great fucking game

super mario world was good 2

[Burn That Shit]

Where the fuck is mario tennis.

[dru]

smb3 ftw

[Cliff Diver]

Super Mario 64 then SMB3 in a close second

[Troggy]

Super Mario World (SNES) for me...I love that game so much.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Smb3

[showyourteeth]

i loved the paper mario series so much

[remedyeli]

My two favorite are Mario Kart and Mario Party series.
But you have neither.

[c_rob2700]

That's right, I put SMG

[silentstar1134]

Where the fuck is mario tennis.

dats wutssup....I had a virtual boy along with 20 other people lol

[thiswokendream]

dats wutssup....I had a virtual boy along with 20 other people lol

I have two of them! Toys R Us for $25. lol. I didn't add the sports, kart, or multiplayer games. Just the straight up Mario "adventure" games.

[Ryzenfall]

Super Mario 64 created Nintendo 64. That and the Ocarina of Time. Epic.

[Brokenhill]

3 beating out 64? Wow, i'm shocked, I voted for 3 though.

[Heart-A-Tact]

I loved Paper Mario for the N64.

[delvec19]

Anyone who picked 2 fails at life.

[ElevenElm]

paper mario, hands down. i wasted so much of my time on that game. also, mario tennis is awesome.

[super rad!]

super mario 64

got EVERY star possible.


bitches. hahah

[bradnewman]

loved mario RPG

[notoaststereo]

64

Super Mario Bros. 3 is too hard to beat, but Super Mario Bros. is probably the one that comes to mind when I think of the series as the whole.

I used to think that SMB3 was too hard until I put it in the other night and beat it in one sitting. I didn't skip worlds or levels. It was a slight challenge but no where near as hard as I thought it was when I was little. I honestly don't think I had a game over once.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

1. Super Mario Brothers 3
2. Super Mario Brothers
3. Super Mario World
4. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

[TheLoyalVox]

SMB3, by a landslide.

Nice. I always remembered the Bowser levels toward the end were such a bitch, but the actual boss fight was cake.

[domotime2]

this is tough but i think everyone came to the same conclusion in the end...

the best system of all time was N64 (sorry kids)....and there was nothing like Super Mario 64 to get you right into the groove of the system. It was the best designed game as it offered different things to do for a variety of different levels. It was the first mario game that allowed you to do a variety of different movements, and it was just all around fun.

2nd place was the SNES one in my opinion, purely because it introudced Yoshii and it was so long, and they had a large amount of levels which was nice.

super mario 2 on SNES should be getting more love, it was a nice sequel.

[loganmmm]

Super Mario World gets my vote, but is closely followed by Super Mario Bros. 3!

[ship of fools]

All the NES ones are legendary, but I had to go with the third one, it was the most intricate and the stuff you had to do was incredible. The first one gets second place, ground breaking but just not as well scoped out as the third. The second one was kind of dark I recall, kind of weird, but still epic.

I'm surprised no one has voted for the GC one yet... it probably has to do with the Game Cube being the weakest system put out, but it was still a solid game.

[thiswokendream]

I agree. I thought it would at least have a few votes. IMO, It was easily one of the worst Mario games but still a fun and well-made game.

[anamericangod]

RPG is legendary.

[oncedarkness]

RPG is legendary.

i would love to find that perusing a game store sometime. it always sounded really good.

[Say Nothing]

Super Mario 64 and RPG are my two favorites. Both incredible

[recall reality]

Super Mario 64
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario RPG

I voted for 64, but these are all on about the same level for me. Nothing quite like a good Mario game.

[thiswokendream]

Uh oh, Super Mario 64 is pulling/staying ahead of SMB3! lol.

[xmarksthespot]

Anyone who picked 2 fails at life.

fuck that game. super mario bros. 2 shouldn't even be considered a super mario bros. game. it was some other obnoxious game first and they took it and put mario sprites over all the characters since super mario 3 was taking too long to make.
fuck i sound like a douchebag gamer.
i don't play video games anymore i promise.

[LamarVannoy]

the best system of all time was N64
QFT

[skellorock]

while I love smb, smb3 is the ultimate mario game, I could understand SMWorld slightly beating 3, but 64???????? I'm sorry, but the Golden Age of Video Games was Pre-Polygon based, Mario 64 you spend more time just dicking around than actually completing levels, thats what free skate on Tony Hawk is for, not Mario. It's sad really sad, 64's showiness over tradiontal platforms simplistic genius? 2-D 8-16 bit Mario owns all!!!!

Let me start off by saying I voted for SM3

However,

Mario 64 was an amazing game. It was made better by the fact that was the first time most people had played a 3D game. When it came time to vote for me it was between 64 and SMB3. Three won. Because of the simple fact that you can pick it up and play for five minutes or seven hours. You could play it with your grandma (which I did) or your girlfriend. It is way easier to get into and it is still a very diverse and complex game. Try handing Mario 64 to your 70 year old grandma. Some might get it but most will have a hard time.

In all honesty there has been no such thing as a bad Mario adventure game. Two is not great but its definitely still a fun game.

[skellorock]

well honestly I dont even play video games anymore, with the exception of an old NES or arcade game, and I'll goof around with guitar hero when its available, I mean the last game(s) I remember being into were the Tony Hawk games. I pretty much lost all interest in anything new by the time the first xbox and gamecube came out, by that point, largely because the whole cinematic approach to everything just seemed, well not like a video game anymore, i mean they were starting to advertise games as if they were movies(which now, they all are) I mean it seemed cool at first when FFXII took that approach cause it had never been anything like that before, but by 01-02 I had completely lost interest. Which was funny cause I started college in the fall of 02, and EVERYONE was obsessed with medal of honor, halo, call of duty, & all these other games, and ppl wondered why I never wanted to play lol, I think i played the gta games a little just of morbid curiostiy and shock, cause i couldnt belive at how evil the games were lol

[Undue Noise]

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Super Mario 64
3. Super Mario RPG
4. Super Mario World

It's a tough call between SMB3 and SM64.

[LongDistanceDrunk]

Super Mario Bros. hands down. I had a used Nintendo growing up and a fair amount of games and that all I really played besides Super Mario Bros. 2 which wasn't as good.

[donwagenblast]

gotta be Mario Kart Wii, or any mario kart for that matter.

[yoyoninjagirl]

The original, with Super Mario 64 coming in second.

[donwagenblast]

Koopa Mario in New Super Mario Bros is like becoming god.

[darkmartheight]

super mario world. although 3 is a very very very close 2nd. then 64.

i didn't like super mario sunshine. the camera fucked with you way too much.

[eversoinviting]

Super Mario 64, no doubt. It's what drew me into gaming.

[cscwell107]

Mario Tennis but since that isn't on her SMB3

[Lemmi!]

Super Mario 64. No doubt

[AbbeyCarbs]

I've played them all except for RPG:
1. Super Mario Sunshine
2. Paper Mario (N64)
3. Super Mario World

[TheWeakest]

RPG is my favorite game all time. Such random characters, like Mallow and Gino and Bowser plays on your side. It was such an interesting game.

Then again, 64....

[SwishMX48]

When I was 12 Mario 64 changed my life.

edit: Question: Can you unlock Yoshi at the end of this and ride him around? I thought I had heard that somewhere...if its true, I'm getting that game back out.

I'm pretty sure you can unlock him when you get a certain amount of stars. Not sure if you can ride him around tho. I think he is at the top of the castle or something.

[11:11]

I chose Paper Mario, but RPG is also fun, and I used to play 64 nonstop when I was younger.

You have to get 120 stars, but yeah, it's true.

[donwagenblast]

is super mario galaxy worth playing?

[recall reality]

is super mario galaxy worth playing?

If you enjoyed Mario 64, then yes.

This review is pretty much spot on:

AFaVdie7ZFY

It's just a blast to play.

[SwishMX48]

Wow, I'm pretty sure I gave up with like 100+ I might try and do this.

[S9Dallasoz]

Jumpin through paintings.

[S9Dallasoz]

Wow, I'm pretty sure I gave up with like 100+ I might try and do this.

I got stuck on 114...never ever finished it.
Damn carpet flying level.

This.

& Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Ken Griffey Jr. Slugfest, awesome awesome awesome.

Star Fox 64 was glorious.

[PengusNiugnep]

I couldn't decide between Galaxy, 64 (DS version is better though), and SMB3. :<

[WFUJerseyJon]

64, though 3 is a very close 2nd

[ACA]

You're missing SMW2, which most critics claim to be a top, if not best, SNES game.

[AtTheEndOfItAll...]

super mario world, I played that on my gameboy all the time

[jtjt43]

Mario 64, first Mario game i played

[trappedintime]

Mario 64 is the freakin best.

[andrewshungry]

so fucking tough. but i would have to say 64, then super mario world, then 3

[Indoor Living]

Didn't Yoshi's Island have Mario in it? That one was always my favorite. Guess I have to go with Mario Kart then.

EDIT: That one's not on there either, shit. I'm going with SMB 3.

[a morning view]

SMB3 is the greatest video game of all time. The end.

[awakeohsleeper]

Super Mario World. I love that.

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

64. LOOOOOVED that game.

[Co and Ca]

mario 3, super mario world, and mario 64 are some of the best games ever. mario is the best video franchise ever.

[more heart]

Not even waiting for you to put the poll up. Haha. Mario Kart 64. Hands down.

This

[Shin Akuma]

i m old school so the first one

[derekmoyer4]

super mario galaxy needs some love. but the mario kart series is the best. mario kart ds and mario kart 64.

[SeanEBoy2686]

mario 64... but nothing beats mario kart 64

[DejaNew]

The one that had Yoshi on super nintendo was the best. I think it's Super Mario World but I could be wrong. It's been awhile.

[quo.vadis]

Super Mario Sunshine, even though everyone hated it. I loved the setting of Delfino Island and how all the areas connected to each other.

[heykayla]

All I play now is Super Mario Bros 3. It's always been my favorite.


Super Mario World is a close second, though.

[VIVALAMATT]

OMG WTF SUPER MARIO 64 SUCKED.

It's basically a tie between SMB3 and SMW
