Whats the Greatest Mario Game Ever?

[Plowking]

Mario Kart on the SNES for me.

The 2 player racing, and even better, the battle mode, kept me playing that game for years.

And now I play it on the PSP...on my own...sniff!!

Closely followed by SMB 3 on the NES - no saving, no mercy. Just play play play...

I would have to agree with those who mentioned SMB3 on the NES. Hands down the amount of depth to that game outwieghts all other SMB games.

There was just something I loved about getting all of the different costumes on every board. The flutes were great, but how you got them was even more clever. I mean holding down while on a white block to fall into the shadows is just crazy.

In addition world 8 is still one of the hardest worlds to date. While I was playing the New Super Mario Bros, I couldn't help thinking how easy it is. World 8 on NSMB and SMB3 has no comparison.

All this talk may make just have to pick up the game again.

Super Mario Bros. 3, of course! It's been a template for every 2D Mario afterwards (the overworld and weird power-ups especially). I prefer the 16-bit version on Super Mario All-Stars. The graphics are not as rough-looking as the NES version.

I would have to say Super Mario Bros 3 (For GBA)

Mario 64, its just perfect

I am curious if there is any correlation between what SMB game gets voted for and the age of the voter. I am not implying the certain voters may be more or less juvenile. I am just curious. Oh yeah!...no on has mentioned Mario's Time Machine as being a favorite...I dont think I want to be the first either.

BTW my vote was for SMB3 and I am 23
