WARNING 1/2 OF COMMENTS ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT SUNSHINE ISN'T ON THE LIST

[capnfluff]

original game better than super mario galaxy?



nah, not rly

[bctalicorn]

Wow. 3D World made the list, but Sunshine didn't? Come on.

[mundojourney]

Super Mario world was my favorite game ever, my dad couldn’t afford a super Nintendo so I had to go to a friend’s house to play it, after 25 long years I finally bought one on eBay, told my girlfriend I need sometime alone, went to my beach house and today at 3:30am in the middle of this pandemic I have finally defeated bowser, besides comping back from deployment, this is the greatest day of my life... no dream is too small :)

[MegaSubZeroX]

Mario land 2 is not better than sunshine

[mrshady]

How do you not have super Mario sunshine in this list

[cheekslapper]

Honestly, my favorite Mario game is super Mario world, I still play it to this day, it never gets old or boring, it has amazing graphics, bright colors, and a fun gameplay.

[sukhdeepbanger]

I notice a lot of people mention sunshine (which shouldve been on the list) but has everyone forgetten mario maker and like cmon u couldnt add one new super mario game.

[DeadofWinter]

I find myself and many others liking Sunshine and Galaxy 1 more than 64 and the others. Not knocking on the other hand of course, I like them all

[iownu]

Mario Sunshine isn't on this list. This guy's opinion is worthless :P

[antoniasalinas]

No one gives respect for New Super Mario Bros. anymore. It introduced Star Coins, the Mega Mushroom, the Mini Mushroom, Dry Bowser, and kicked off a line of great Bowser battles (that are better and more intense than the originals btw). No one!

[sammylane]

To quote The Rock "IT DOESN'T MATTER"which SM Bros is the best, all SM Bros games are awesome, even the worst games are fun at some point!

[SfinxVid]

It feels a bit odd to make this video just days before the release of Odyssey, because you know that Odyssey would get a place in this list. Also, where is Sunshine?

[wolfman]

2015 - IGN name Super Mario Bros. 3 the best game ever.

2017 - IGN name Super Mario Bros. 3 the third best Mario game.

*Clap clap. Gotta love that consistency. IGN!

[sammylane]

When the narrator said "Mario was a foundation of our medium"...I said (with a tear in my eyes) "damn right!".

I would have Galaxy 1&2, Sunshine and 64 in my Top 3.

My list:
1. Mario Galaxy 1&2
2.All the other 3D titles
3.the rest.

I only made a top 3, because I love all the Mario games. They have lots of imagination, creativity and they always give me a unique feeling I can't describe. I also love that every 3D Mario game has its own charm, like Mario 64 where you have imaginative, beautiful atmospheres and the concept by going level to level from a friggin CASTLE! Sunshine where there are also many other things to explore. The sunny aesthetic, the beach, the sea and other worlds. Mario galaxy (wich is my favourite and it always will be). The concept going through *SPACE* gave me chills everytime. Even tho it's linear, there will always be something to explore. The atmosphere and the music goes through my heart! The music itself tells me why it's so unique. I had many dreams about it. The linear levels actually gave me a lot of imagination.
And then there's Mario Odyssey also a big boy, where you can explore everything! The fact Nintendo relies on simplicity made it even better. They made (with 3D World and Land) A big boi after Galaxy 2.
