JN News Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Personally, out of all the Mario games that I've played all my life, I'd have to say that my personal favorite was the original Mario Bros. game. The debut of Luigi. So, what was your favorite Mario game?
The Amazing Rando Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 SMB2 I can't even explain why. The ending still pisses me off, but meh...
Guest ABOBO Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 This really should have been a poll. That being said, SMB3, with RPG close behind. EDIT: Replace RPG with Mario Kart SNES REDIT: Actually, a poll would be hard with so many Mario games, but I'd imagine most picks will fall betweeen 6-7 games.
JST Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 SMB3, for being the first Mario game that I've fully completed. Yoshi's Island comes in a close second.
AndrewTS Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 SMB3, for being the first Mario game that I've fully completed. Yoshi's Island comes in a close second. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What he said.
Guest Coffey Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Well, I just played Mario Baseball for Gamecube tonight. That's certainly not it. I'm saying Super Mario World for Super Nintendo. I *HATED* Yoshi's Island.
Red Baron Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Super Mario World followed by Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World. I have never played Super Mario 64 though.
Guest Fook Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 1) Mario 64 2) Mario 3 3) Mario RPG 4) Mario World 5) Mario 2
CanadianGuitarist Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Super Mario World followed by Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World. I have never played Super Mario 64 though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm surprised we never got it on the commie 64. Mario 64, followed by SMB3 and SMW. What he said. Mostly for pointless college year nostalgia, but honourable mention to the Mario Party series. I once tried to drunkenly hang myself at a party for dropping the ball at Leaf Leap.
Narcoleptic Jumper Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 in no real order: super mario world super mario bros. 3 super mario kart and in 4th place: Mario power tennis for the Gamecube.
Mecha Mummy Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 I'm a Mario RPG kind of guy myself, with SNES Mario Kart coming in a close, close second.
Anya Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Top 5... 1.Mario Kart 64 2.Mario Kart 3.Mario Party 4.Yoshi's Island 5.Mario 64
Guest Evolution Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 From best to great: Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario RPG Mario Party (any one)
Ced Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Off the top of my head: 1. Super Mario World 2. Super Mario RPG 3. Super Mario 3 4. Super Mario Kart 5. Super Mario 2
Matt Young Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 My top 5, in no particular order (although SMB 3 is certainly #1): Super Mario Bros. 3 Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Super Mario World Mario Kart: Double Dash Mario and Luigi: The Superstar Saga I never owned Yoshi's Island or Super Mario RPG, and Mario 64was very good but very overrated.
Anya Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Mario 64 is overrated. It was fun that first time but I never want to play it agian. Why double dash over 64 or original?
Ravenbomb Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Super Mario World Super Mario Kart and I'll just cheat and say Super Mario All-Stars
Matt Young Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Mario 64 is overrated. It was fun that first time but I never want to play it agian. Why double dash over 64 or original? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've got all three. I prefer DD slightly over the original, and both are better than MK64, although that is a great game in its own right. Can't really explain other than it's just a personal preference.
Anya Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 I thought the level design was kind of weak in DD. Just didn't seem as interesting. The team thing was ok though. I always team Daisy and Peach.
Anya Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 It's crazy that N64 launched with just that and Pilotwings and was actually successful. Imagine if Xbox 360 launched with two games, even if one was Halo 3.
Use Your Illusion Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 It is unreal when you think about it. However, I remember the first few weeks of release here in Australia where stores had rows of television screens hooked up to Mario 64. All that was playing was repetitive footage of Mario running in circles (even though that *does* still look hilarious), backflipping, diving etc. Still, there were always crowds of people around looking absolutely gob-smacked at what they were seeing. ...scary to think this was less than ten years ago.
Anya Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Yeah, Mario 64 was good enough so it worked. I remember there was a big shortage and I couldn't find a system. Just by coincidence Toys R Us had one on my birthday. The problem was I couldn't afford Mario since it was like 80 dollars. For a couple days I had to just look at the system without anything to play on it. I finally sold a bunch of PSX games to get Mario. The N64 lineup was so bare I was really hyped when Cruis'n USA came out. Then there was MKT, which was better on PSX, and finally something good...KI Gold.
ChrisMWaters Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Does this list include the Wario Games? Or just games Mario himself has been in?
Youth N Asia Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 My top 5 1. Super Mario World, SNES...BY A LANDSLIDE! 2. Super Mario Brothers 3, NES 3. Super Mario 64, N64 4. Super Mario Brothers, NES 5. Mario Kart, SNES
jwpeer Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 SMB2 I can't even explain why. The ending still pisses me off, but meh... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with this. 3 and World were possibly better, but 2 had so much character
Aero Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 Mario 64, followed closely by Mario 3 and Super Mario World for SNES.
Kahran Ramsus Posted October 31, 2005 Report Posted October 31, 2005 1) Super Mario Bros. 3 - This was THE game when I was about 9. Everyone played it to death. I can't remember another game in my years of gaming, except maybe Goldeneye, that was so popular for so long among so many people. 2) Super Mario Bros. 2 - I really liked the different style here from the other games in the series, especially how you could select four different characters to play as each with unique attributes. As such, in comparison with something like SMB1, which was obsolete when SMB3 game out, SMB2 remained interesting afterwards. On Mario All-Stars, this was the game I would usually end up playing the most. At the time it was always behind SMB3 though. 3) Super Mario World - This completes the main three and sold countless SNES's back in the day. But it wasn't as big a step up from SMB3 that it that game was to SMB1, despite the system upgrade. Most people considered SMB3 the better game at the time, let alone today. 4) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Other than the annoying cries that occur whenever you lose Baby Mario, this game is great. Unfortunately it came out at a time where it was overshadowed by the inferior but better hyped Donkey Kong Country series. The series really needed a change like this at that point with SMB3 & SMW, as well as the Gameboy series all using the same basic gameplay. 5) Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land - The series changed into a more puzzle-based format later, but this one retains its origin in the Super Mario Land series, with different moves for Wario being the key difference. Of the portable Mario games, this is easily the best one that isn't just a port of one of the console games listed above.
