hah i was thinkin this aswell lol :P but if you can only have 1 mario game it has to be super mario world ....and if anybody is intrested i would like to say i reckon mario brothers 2 was the worst........and not just because nitendeo robbed sombody elses game completly

oh and by the way there was also four old nes games on the smw+ all-stars
mario 1
mario lost levels
mario 2
and mario 3

and also another little fact is that it was actually the game and watch games that started mario off

Super Mario World, still the best mario game to me on SNES, id say super mario 3 for NES though :)

took the words right out my mouth - the first fun mario imho and also the first 3d. i didnt enjoy the side scroller, found them too hard, but i took to 64 like a duck to water - not saying it was easy but there are many ways to do the same thing.

i really dont like Mario games - even though i'm a massive fan of platformers. so i'm gonna go with Mario Kart, since at least there's a half-decent racer in there.

I have to put my vote for SMB3 because you knew by that point anything goes in regards to the series (magic flutes, tanooki suits, Bowser's children, flying airships, etc). It is one that I find myself returning to pretty often. Mario64 runs a very close second in my opinion because it defined an entire genre. When you look back on the Mario series there are very few similairities between any of the games (besides SMB 2 japan or "The Lost Levels" as Westerners like to call it) yet they all manage to add to the rich smorgesboard that is the Mario universe.

Well for me its Super Mario World for the SNES. I guess it the reason its my favorite is because it was one of the first games i ever played. Actualy i think it was the first. But i do think all of the mario games have improved generation after generation of consoles well most anyways there were a few bad ones lol.

Super Mario Bros 3 on NES
Super Mario Land 2 on GB
