MARIO GAMES Rated in Order of Goodness

Eggs Mayonnaise

Eggs Mayonnaise

All In With The Nuts
1) Super Mario 64 - I can still get lost in this for eons at a time. Still need a walkthrough to finish it, too.
2) Donkey Kong (arcade) - The Book of Genesis (not Sega)
3) Mario Party (N64) - Fun for the whole family (if they have a couple of hours to sit and play a whole game through)
4) Mario Kart DD (GC) - Only reason this is above the N64 version is the Daisy Cruiser course. Otherwise it's not really better.
5) Mario Kart (N64) - Fun fun fun fun fun
6) Mario Tennis (N64) - I always have to be Paratroopa. I don't know why.
7) Mario Golf (N64) - Fun, meditative, but also FUCKING MADDENING BECAUSE I CAN'T BEAT BOWSER WHO MUST BE GOWRON'S COUSIN FUCK
8) Mario Party 7 (GC) - Finally the fun is back from the original, almost.
...

54) Mario Party's 2 thru 6.99 (N64) - All sucked.

LOL I CAN'T REALLY DO THIS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY I HAVEN'T PLAYED LOL I JUST THOUGHT THERE SHOULD BE A MARIO LIST TOO SO SOMEONE ELSE MAKE A REAL LIST 'K LOL THX
 
Mario Kart SNES should be above Mario Kart N64.
 
Like I said, there are so many games I never played, my list shouldn't be taken seriously and someone else should start one from scratch. OKAY BUB?
 
There's too many in too many different genres...

SIDE-SCROLLING PLATFORMERS

1) Super Mario World (SNES)
2) Yoshi's Island (SNES IF IT COUNTS)
3) Super Mario Brothers 3 (NES)
4) New Super Mario Brothers (DS)
5) Super Mario Brothers (NES)
6) SUper Mario Brothers 2 (NES NOT EVEN A REAL MARIO GAME)

Mario Karts...the SNES and N64 ones are the best. Let us never speak of Double Dash again.

Haven't played Galaxy yet. Mario 64 is certainly better than Sunshine.

Don't do Mario Parties.
 
galaxy looks really good, my nephew played the shit out of it at christmas. lots of perspective weirdness.

DD found its 'voice' only after I played Wii.
Before then, its strengths were very much buried under its many weaknesses, but since Wii, I've found DD to be more enjoyable.

My ranking for the Kart Series:
1. DS. Best overall, best battle mode.
2. N64. Tough power slides in comparison to the later versions, but the characters were at their most sadistic in this version. Especially Wario (ftw).
3. Wii. Mid-weight Mach Bike FTW. Very imbalanced against 1st place, though.
4. DD. It's all about the light weight characters (the Koopas, BowserJr and Diddy). The controls are 'squirrelly', esp. after playing Wii, and the characters' voices are cartoonishly annoying, but some of the tracks and the character combos make for some intense races in Vs. mode, and the game is more balanced than in Wii. Blue shells don't suck nearly as much in DD.
5. SNES. It ranks below DD because of its difficult handling, something of an issue after playing its successors, and also because many of its tracks have been included into DS and Wii.
6. GBA. Ugh. Its only strong point was the total inclusion of the SNES tracks.

Not ranked: The two arcade versions, which had Pac-Man (and the ghosts?) as playable characters.
 
Side Scrollers:
1. Super Mario World (SNES). Yoshi! Sadly, the last game with the Koopa Kid Klan.
2. SMB3 (NES). Tanooki Suit, P-Wings, Hammer Suits, and the Koopa Kids.
3. SML3: Wario Land (GB). Uh, so it's not really a Mario game... :hmm:
4. SMB2 (NES). We need more Mario games with Toad as a playable.
5. SML2: Six Golden Coins (GB).
6. SMB1 (NES). I never beat this one... kept dying in -1/1. :(
7. SML1 (GB). Damn Mario's tiny... but he flies a biplane and pilots a sub! And: Tatanga. What the fuck happened to him since?

Not rated: The Yoshi's Story series. Never played them.
 
3d:

1. Galaxy (Wii). I've yet to buy it. But I'm broke :(
2. 64 (N64). Gotta catch that damn MIPS teh rabbit!
3. 64 (DS). I like being able to play as Yoshi, Wario and Luigi... but was a remake really needed? Still better than...
4. Sunshine (GC).

Fighting games:

1. Brawl (Wii). Snake pwns. The Subspace Emissary was too drawn out, could have used dialogue, and detracted a little too much from the game. The internet-play needs tweaking (which we won't get), and Mii should have been a playable character... But it still wins, because of the new characters.
2. Melee (CG). Arguably has better physics, and could be a better package overall, but the new characters in Brawl gives Brawl the edge.
3. 64 (N64). Well... It's not bad in the least, it's just the newer ones were much improved over this. Still, this one had the most chaos going when bombs and mines were set and 200% damage was used.

RPG:

I can't really rank these as I've only played Seven Stars (SNES), and I'm not too partial to the Paper Mario series.

No comment on the sports titles, except that Super Strikers is obnoxiously fun for about 30 minutes.
 
Oh I forgot about Paper Mario...the only one I've played is Thousand Year Door which I thought was great.
 
I played Thousand Year Door.. it was fun!
 
The script was amusing.
 
1. Super Mario Kart-SNES. Fucking addictive, and easily one of the best games to play against a friend or family member
2. Super Mario Bros. 3-NES. I maintain that, to this day, it’s the hardest game I’ve ever played. Hardest to beat, I mean. Some games are retarded hard (like this in Madden, when you’re up big and all of the sudden you fumble/throw an interception on every down), this one was just devious hard. Remember, there was no “saving” or even “continue”, so you had to rack up 99 lives and play the game All. The. Way. Through. Each and every time you wanted to beat it. Maddening, but also a sense of accomplishment when you beat it.
3. Super Mario World-SNES. Set the bar high for all SNES games, and it was included in the package. Great fun!
4. Super Mario Bros. 2-NES. Flying Carpets, dude! What more do I have to say? Tremendous sequel to a so-so 1st game.
5. Super Mario 64-N64. Hopelessly addicting, one of the first games that you can get totally and completely lost inside. The perfect combo of RPG-style adventuring with side-scrolling type action. I remember the first time Mario was swimming underwater, and the big dinosaur shape floated above me, I actually flinched!

That’s it, haven’t played any of the rest, except the Mario Kart for GameCube (wasn’t impressed).
 
I actually beat Mario 3. That was a satisfying victory.
Mario Kart SNES was frustrating to beat. Hardest Rainbow Road ever. (And its remake in the Game Boy version was a let down because the Thwomps weren't electrified).
 
I agree with Wacky's side-scrolling order, but not enough to posrep him for it, or qft

IN YOUR FACE WACKEH!

Also I agree with Bickendan that N64 MarioKart had the best powerslide, because it was not easy but yielded rewards, so there was a tradeoff and technique to it.
