fav Mario game of all time?

Postby Tenshi no Ai » Wed Jan 10, 2007 11:42 am

Well, after finding out that false info on that topic yesterday, why not make a "Mario appreciation" poll and tell what your No. 1 fav Mario game ever is?^^ Of course, I'm not adding ALL the titles, just a few of the biggest hits.

For me, I'd have to say Super Mario Bros 3. I mean, it's just a total classic^^ I've played that game I don't know HOW many times in my life :/ Never did have a Super Nintendo, so stuff like Super Mario World isn't too nostalgic (although I'd play it about a million times at my friends' houses^^) Another fav title I'd have to say is Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Although Miyamoto didn't create any of the Super Mario Lands on Game Boy, I thought this oen was real fun too^^ I mean, bunny ears!! Although I've played through that game, sadly enough I haven't ever beat it :/

Soooo.... what might your fav be?^^

I wouldn't consider SSB or SSBM to be a Mario game. So I put down "Super Mario Brothers 3"

Oh man. I was totally split between Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario RPG, but 3 got my vote in the end, since it does have the benefit of being one of the first ones I ever played. XD Mario RPG is an amazingly fun game too, though. Also, I really enjoyed 64, so that'll probably hit third on my list of favorite Mario games. XD

Yeah, I was debating whether to stick them in or not, but I decided to since they ARE a collaboration that involve several characters from the series.

Oh...why must you make me pick! I love Super Mario World...but SM3 rocks my freaking socks! (Especially since I rediscovered it in the form of Super Mario All-Stars!)

If you were to twist my arm...I would say...Super Mario 3! Mostly because I never finished it!

Ahahahah - if I remember correctly, I think Photoshop finished Super Mario Bros 3 after a _lot_ of hard work. :grin:

Super Mario RPG is my favourite, closely followed by SMB3. Mario in an RPG - How can you not love it? (Rhetorical question ;) ).

if i could pick from the titles above, i'd say SSBM because it's my favorite game of all time. however, i don't really consider SSBM or SSB to be a mario game so i'd have to say paper mario. i haven't played all the way through paper mario: thousand year door, but that's also a pretty fun game. i think you might've forgotten to put up Mario and Luigi Supersaga but i suppose that would go in the other section. that's another one of my favorites.

I put down Mario RPG because I enjoyed that game so much and that is a fair definition for "favorite." It is the only game I have beaten multiple times.

However, there are two other worthy titles in the series that prevented my decision from being immediate:
Super Mario 3 - I think this is just about the perfection of the classic Mario style.
Super Mario World 2 - Very well designed, very fun, plenty of secret content.

I voted Super Mario World. It seemed to have the right mix of length, secrets, difficulty and replayability. There are several on the list that I haven't played, or at least not in depth, so the opinion may change on down the road.

Super Mario RPG. Geno and Mallow need to be in SSBB.

SuperMario Brothers 3. I haven't played all the games on the list, but definitely that game is one of the best. :)

I said Mario World because I've played through the entire game including every secret level multiple times. Mario 3 comes in a close second with Mario Kart third. The original Mario Kart is still my favorite racing game ever. Mario World 2 Definitely ranks toward the top as well, but it's hard for me to compare it to the others because it has a completely different dynamic.

EDIT: By the way, I don't really consider Mario 2 a Mario game since it was originally supposed to be a Mario game.

Yeah it wasn't, but since it IS well known AS a Mario game by us (and labeled as one in NA), it still does count. (Even though the other story makes alot more sense...)

Considering I'm an RPG geek; I would have to put down Mario RPG.

Although I really like Super Mario World and Super Mario 3 a lot.

When I was 9, I was really hooked on Super Mario Land 2.

Super Mario RPG...although I'm probably biased since RPGs are my favorite genre.

Actually, what I want far more than that is a Super Mario RPG 2 with an improved but similar battle system and a story that continues in the same world, if not with the same plot. I liked Paper Mario, but it isn't the same and I would enjoy a sequel. Seeing Geno again would be a plus as well.

I think that how many elements from that game have been incorporated into future Mario games is enough to earn it a place on the list.

I agree with that, actually. Mario World 2 especially took a lot of ideas from Mario 2. But I still personally have a hard time considering it part of the series as far as basic gameplay and storyline go.

I TOTALLY remember that game! XD I only had the demo version, but I played it all the time! Was it actually canonical, though?

I do love Super Mario bros 3, I have many fond memories playing it on my older cousin's nintendo... but I'd have to say Super Smash. It's a great game that all my friends can play. And I just love my N64. hehe
