mario kart's cool too, but you can't compare SuperMarioBross with MarioKart, they're different from each other (one's action/adventure, the another one's ...about cars)

All three Mario RPGs are good. (Mario RPG: SNES, Paper Mario: N64, Paper Mario 2: GC)
Yoshi's Island is such an awesome game. The bad part is it's one player.
Mario Brothers 1 is the arcade game. Also known as "POW". That one is okay. Fun on GBA, since they upped the abilities.
Super Mario Brothers is awesome, but has its limits. It's okay overall because of it's later instalments.
Super Mario Brothers 2 is fantastic, no matter what anyone says. I think it's far better than SMB1.
Super Mairo Brothers 3 ... oh my God. What a fantastic game.
Super Mario World is so fun, but, easy, which is something the earlier games lacked ... they were hard. Especially 3, christ.
There is no 4 as of yet (even Super Mario Brothers DS isn't called "4" it's called "new" ... which will rock your face!!)
The Lost Levels is really good.
I like the All Star versions of all the games more than the originals ... except 3. Not sure why.
64 ... was okay. If you think it was better than okay, there's something wrong with you.
Mario Sunshine, I personally love. But I don't think it compares to any of the other games. They're all far more "solid" games.
Mario Kart got old. Fast. I can't play it anymore, it pisses me off.
Dr. Mario was fun. So was Yoshi and Yoshi's cookie. No one remembers those Yoshi NES games. (Mario was the villian in the first game)
I'd still have to say 3.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I never played the 64 version.
Super Mario World is not Super Mario Brothers 4.
Honestly, three is weird. It should have been Super Mario World 1, to be honest, because of the way the game is set up. In three and world, there is a dynamic world-map system.
So, that's the main difference, but like I said, three shouldn't have been "three".
Anyway, the DS one was suppose to be called 4 ... but they're being bastards and calling it "New Super Mario Brothers". It should be set up like SMB1. I haven't played it yet though, so.
[Update]
I've never been able to play the "Land" games. I know they're awesome and introduced some of the awesome power ups (bunny ears, Wario).
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

If you want to talk about it like that then it's the fifth.
If you count Donkey Kong it's 6th.
If you count the Yoshi games it's 8th.
If you count the Land games, it's the 12th.
:razz:
Let's just agree that it isn't "Mario Brothers 4".
[Update]
I'm just giving you a hard time. Everyone always forgets about Mario Brothers though.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Although I voted for SMB3, I shouldve voted for Super Mario World.
My favorite Mario of all time though is probably Super Mario Land 2: 6
Golden Coins (for GB). It is the first Mario to introduce Wario. Also
Wario World or whatever (SML3) is great too.

I loved Mario Tennis!!! I've always thought they should make another,
but now with the Nintendo Revolution I think they would try to utilize
the motion sensitive controller and probably ruin the game.
I voted for Super Mario World. I have fond memories of that game. I
didn't beat it till years after I first played it, since I had no SNES
until I was about 14.

You guys know that we cannot see the results if we do not vote. It would make sense to put some sort of a benign vote in there to allow all of us to see as well.
You do not necessarily have to put an "IT SUCKS" option, but something other than a vote of approval would be nice.
There is no history until something happens, then there is.

I'm thoroughly convinced that Mario Kart 64 is the perfect game.
Aside from the shortcut you can take in Wario Stadium, there are no
faults I can find in the level design or the gameplay. I play
about 4 hours of it a week with the kids on my hall.

I smell another thread coming up ... "What's the best Zelda game?" :smile: (And maybe Metroid, but there's not much argument there)
Mario (Super Mario Brothers 3) => Zelda (Ocarina of Time) => Metroid (Fusion)
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Link to the Past or Ocarina. I think I own all the Zeldas that exist
right now with the exception of the Japanese Satellaview and uh, CD-i
(I think) versions.
I have:
NES - The Legend of Zelda
NES - Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
GBC - Link's Awakening
GBC - Oracle of Ages
GBC - Oracle of Seasons
GBA - Minish Cap
SNES - Link to the Past
N64 - Ocarina of Time
N64 - Majora's Mask
GCN - The Wind Waker
GCN - Zelda: Ocarina of Time + Master Quest
GCN - The Zelda Collection
As for Metroid I've only really played Fusion and the first Prime
seriously. I also own Metroid Prime 2, but haven't really put any time
into it. Tried playing Super Metroid but was never that gripped.

The one with ants was the 2nd one I think. 6 Golden Coins or whatever.
I have Wario Land on Virtual Boy, sweet game. The only other Wario
games I have are WareWare for GCN & DS. Those are better used as
drinking games.

I decided on Ocarina of Time because it has a better executed plot than Link to the Past. I don't have the two GBC games, Minish Cap, and Collection. Except I don't see much point in owning collection if you have the others. Oh yeah. Don't have Zelda 2 either :sad:
I'll grab it on Ebay sometime.
Metroid Fusion is Super Metroid but better (A fresh spin on the franchise). And the first one has s**t for response times. Zero Mission is better (too bad it's easier too).
Prime is OKAY. Metroid 2 was pretty good too.
Also, how can you think Wind Waker is the best Zelda? Seriously. It's not a bad game or anything, but pales in comparison to ALL other Zelda games. :razz:
I'm kind of surprised no one said the best Zelda game is "Zelda Collection"
Gorb, you don't have Four Swords. It's fun though, if you haven't played it. Requires many people for the best enjoyment.
What about Donkey Kong games? I hate the original. I'd say, disregarding nostalgia, Jungle Beat is my favorite DK game that I've played. Although, I haven't played Mario vs. Donkey Kong and I really want to play that. Looks fun.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

... No, I never noticed that people don't think the same way about the same things ever ... never occurred to me :razz:
My point was, as a game WindWaker is really okay. Have you played all the others all the way through? If you have an still think that, then okay, but otherwise, I'm very sceptical.
Has nothing to do with contradictions. If that's your favorite, fine. Go play it? :smile:
"Best" is usually exchanged with "favorite", so ...
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
