The Ultimate Mario Fan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Ciao paisanos! Welcome to the new pad for all fellow Mario fans! Let's kick the shell off by asking the age-old question... What is your favorite Mario game? My favorite Mario game ever is Super Mario 64. It was the game that introduced the world to 3D gaming and was just overflowing with so much fun! I love the music, the gameplay, the graphics, and just about everything about it. I've completed it more often than any other Mario game to date. Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Super Mario Odyssey. Main games. Besides 3D Land, t’s the only main series game I ever beat and somehow truly enjoyed. I don’t know why that is. Spinoffs- Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. The intro is one of my favorite moments of all time. Edited March 18, 2018 by XLW Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Super Mario World or Mario Odyssey for me I think. I love Mario 64 but never completed it, same goes for Sunshine. I think once I complete Odyssey for good, I will tackle those games. Would love an HD remake with fixed camera for Mario 64. As far as the spinoffs, Mario Party 1-4, Mario Golf, Paper Mario 1-2 are my notable favorites. The Ultimate Mario Fan 1 Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 They had a remake for 64 on the DS. It was called... Super Mario 64 DS. It has Luigi, Yoshi, and Wario too. It was because of the touch controls I never beat that game. Link to comment
Eliwood8 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Really hard to say. Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of my favorite games ever, but Galaxy is just a magical game, and now Odyssey is thrown into the mix as another outstanding game. It's also difficult to even compare the 2D and 3D games at times since they're great in different ways. But if I had to pick one right now, I'd say SMB3. The Ultimate Mario Fan 1 Link to comment
Kezay Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Super Mario Bros. 3 forever remains a special game in my heart and not just for Mario but any game. But there's a lot of nostalgia tied into those reasons which makes things a bit unfair. If anything though, following that I'd probably have to say Super Mario Galaxy. I haven't run through the entirety of Odyssey yet because I'm so tied up in Xenoblade right now, but I plan on finishing it and just watching my brother's playthrough I can see Odyssey taking over Galaxy on that vote too. I just want to finish it out first before making that distinction. The Ultimate Mario Fan and Doc Brown 2 Link to comment

It's a pretty hard 2D Mario game. Link, the Hero of Dreams and The Ultimate Mario Fan 2 Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I still need to complete Odyssey I think and take in every little nook but it's looking like that. I never completed the final star in Galaxy 2. I need to go back. But I considered it the best before Odyssey. Link to comment
purple_beard Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 1) SMB2 The only Mario game I always want to play all the way through with no warp zones. 2) SMB3 The secrets, the power ups, the map screen antics, the whole thing is just one epic adventure. 3) SMW The interconnected map, Riding Yoshi, more "accurate" flying mechanic.... **************** I was never totally feeling SM64.... Galaxy, 3DWorld, and Odyssey did a lot more for me in those regards. In the line of the NSMB games only 2, because of all the cool stuff that they did with the Gold Fire Flower, and NSMBU did much for me. NSMBU brought back the SMW vibe for the map screen that really got me. **************** But TUMF, is this specifically for platformers? I mean Mario Kart has some serious games to get some top slots.

Remember I'm not asking what is the best Mario game ever, but which is your favorite. Even Hotel Mario would be a legitimate answer. Link to comment

I think he asked because SMB2 has warps but doesn't have "Warp Zones," per se. The Japanese SMB2, however, does. Link to comment
