Only including the mainline, console Mario. Land and "New", as well as paper, etc are it's own category imo. Spent 5 days with Wonder
  • 3
  • 3D World
  • World
  • 2
  • Wonder
  • Galaxy 2
  • 64
  • Odyssey
  • Galaxy
  • 1
  • World 2
  • Sunshine
  • Lost levels
What is your ranking. And if you think New U should count include it guess.

I haven't finished Wonder yet but if I had to put these in order:

Super Mario World
Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Bros Wonder
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario Galaxy
Mario 64
Mario Sunshine
Mario Odyssey
Mario 1
SMB 2

As much as played Mario 64, I don't think I really liked it more than any other platformer tbh.

We should have a "GOAT Mario side game" thread because paint is #1 in the clubhouse for sure. Shouts to Mario teaches typing too, it literally taught a generation of kids how to type.

No cap, i played mario paint more than mario world on SNES, and i played A LOT of super mario world, it was the only game i had with All Stars for like a year

Wonder is good but it aint in the GOAT convo imo. thing about mario is they dont miss. But what marios really changed the game. Galaxy 2 was non stop creativity and pure platforming goodness. Adding Yoshi tilted the whole game on its head. Top 5 for me (more a fan of 3D mario than anything):

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Odyssey

I just dont understand how anyone places SM World over 3. Somebody tell me, what is it? Better graphics? Yoshi?

SMB3 might be the GOAT video game period

It’s a bigger game and you don’t have to start all over when you die
I don't, but it get it.

Bigger game, cape flying mechanics, really memorable worlds with multiple exits everywhere making the game deeper, also iconic music (not as iconic as 3 imo but stands on its own), and different playing mechanics even if you don't include Yoshi (like climbing on fences).

IMO 3 is better...world is "more"

Did you grow up with the 2D games? No shade but wondering context of the ranking
