I dont know if this would be the right place to ask this question, but what's your favorite?

And since there's so many Mario games, I'm only going to use the main games.

So, DCEmu, what's YOUR favorite Mario game?

Well I thought of the Paper Mario series to be a seperate RPG franchise.

If I included those, Id end up having to include Mario Sports games, puzzle games, Smash Bros, porno games, etc

By leaps and bounds for me is either of the first two Super Mario Land games. They had the same elements that made the NES games great, while having a wonderfully distinctive flavor to it that made it so much more. Super Mario Land was similar to Bros., and Golden coins was like the leap to Mario World. Truely they stand out as gameboy classics.

They're still all Mario games though, I've really enjoyed the Paper Mario series.

I agree. Mario Land 1 was fun, but Mario Land 2 was a big improvement. I loved playing it when I was young :)

Yeah, but this poll is thinking about the main PLATFORMER games in the franchise.

I agree. 2D Marios are the best, followed by Mario 64. After that, I kind of just lost contact with it.

Mario Sunshine (on the list) isn't of the main platformers though?

2D = Paper Mario! (I had to add that) :)

Super Mario World! simply the best in my opinion ^_^

The best on the SNES anyway (followed closely by Mario RPG), nothing can really beat Mario Bros. and Mario Bros.3 on the NES as without them Mario would have never been as popular as he was when he left the 8-bit era and entered the 16-bit era, which Mario "All Stars" re-reminded the 16-bit generation of the 8-bit success (in upgraded graphics - which made them cooler).

The 8-bit success of Mario has gone continuously for the past 23 years, since 1985, and Nintendo continue to sell Mario Bros. today (on the Virtual Console), as well as Mario World (both are significant titles). :)

Mario Bros 3 was probably the best Mario in my opinion. Just the levels and everything about it is so amazing for a NES game.

And Vampdude, Mario Sunshine's a platformer... and one of the main games in the franchise. And as you can see, it's tied but in the lead with Mario World.

But still, Paper Mario is awesome. And the only reason I didnt include it is because the poll list shouldnt be THAT long.

I never played Mario Sunshine, it's the only Mario Game that never turns up in the local game exchange.

The poll should have been "On what console is the best Mario game" which I'm going to create, cause all the Mario games should be there (although there are too many). :)

Super Mario World

Sunshine is OK at the beginning but it gets boring fairly quickly.

In my opinion

Mario 3
Mario World
Mario 2 (Doki Doki Panic version)
Mario 1
Mario Land 2
Mario 2 Lost Levels
Mario 64

The others I'm not very acquainted with.

And I hate Yoshi's Island.

What are you people talking about!! Yoshi's Island was universally praised as a worthy successor to Super Mario World (it's Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island), sold extremely well, and when the 'Advanced' version was released it was also met with great acclaim.

You people must have never played it and are relying solely on the name, which makes it sound like a horrible horrible spinoff, but it is in fact a direct successor.

I played it on my uncles SNES, I never got past the first world though. It was a sequel (in prequel form), but a whole different game of its own.

I know it was Super Mario World 2, and even though it looks really good for SNES, it just doesnt feel like a Mario game at all to me, but I DO like the last boss fight with Bowser running towards the screen and all that.
