The best Mario game?

[Mr. Cat]

To be honest, I do like Mario games, but the only one I reeeaally enjoyed was Super Mario 64.

I remember playing it for the first time back when McDonald's had little game stations in some of them and it blew my mind because I was so used to 2D Mario games. I still enjoy the game.

I split up my favorite Mario games into four categories:

Nostalgia-wise: Super Mario 64
2D: Super Mario Bros. 3
3D: Super Mario Odyssey

Overall favorite: Super Mario 64

IK that the later installments of Mario were better than 64 gameplay-wise, graphics-wise, etc. etc. but it still holds that special place in my heart as my favorite Mario game. Odyssey is the best Mario game gameplay-wise but just can't overtake the connection I have with 64

I have been playing Mario for years and I would have to say that my two favourite games hands down is Mario 64 and Mario sunshine!!! These two games I have played a million times and will still play them today they are just so good <3

SMO is my because it was the only mario game I bother to play, I have other mario games but I didn't play them in awhile.
I hope this thread gets bumped a lot because I hate when that stupid Breath of the Wild thread keep getting bump, there is nothing amazing about that silly zelda game.

One other thing does MK8 counts as a mario mario game or does it not, because I like playing that game a lot.

My favorite is probably New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe on Switch.

 

[MapleSilver]

My favorite is Super Mario Galaxy 2 (and the original because they're so similar). I don't know who thought "Mario in space" would be a good idea, but that was the best decision they ever made.

Top 5:
5: Galaxy 2
4: Mario bros. 3
3: soup and mario is odd to see
2: Mario world
1: Mario 64, baby!

Before you yell at me for not putting odd to see at #1, i will say that I think it has way, way too much content. And mario world is 5 precent better than mario 3. Not to say odd to see is bad, i just think it has too much crammed into it. And mario galaxy is good, just there are better mario games.

Super Mario Sunshine, hands down.

My favorite is Super Mario Galaxy 2 (and the original because they're so similar). I don't know who thought "Mario in space" would be a good idea, but that was the best decision they ever made.

Me tooo, I LOVE IT

I absolutely love Super Mario 64, but I've played very little of the other titles.

 

[Bcat]

It's kinda a tie between Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy. I liked both games a lot, was
however never able to finished Sunshine back then, as I had struggle with one level and then stopped
playing the game. Later I had no Game Cube and also not the game anymore, so ever since then I was
not able to complete the game. Galaxy on the other hand was one of those which I was able to actually
complete 100%. Was not easy, but I was so in love with this game, I played it everyday for a few hours
and tried my best to complete every level, which was successful at the end.

As a honorable mention, I would say that Super Mario Odyssey is also pretty good.
