ScrewAttack's Top 10 Mario Games

Well they're clearly uneducated by claiming Super Smash Bros. is a Mario game. Oh noez SSBM had too many Mario characters in so it MUSTT be a Mario game. Fail. It's got more characters from the Pokémon franchise in it anyway. And obviously SMB1 is going to be the most downloaded Virtual console game if it's the only decent one available at launch except SM64 which costs twice as much.

But yeah, I don't really agree with anything on there really... apart from maybe the ones I haven't played which I can't really disagree with. Super Mario Land 2 > SML. Most of them bar SML > SMB1.

I agree with the second part of that post. And maybe the first part as well!

I'm happy just because SMRPG made the list!

I hated MK64.

It was WAY more boring than DS.

I figured Double Dash was the king of the Mario Karts. 2 player in one kart action, and 8 players when you linked up the gamecubes!

It's my fave anywho

I thought Mario Land was pretty funsome, but more fun than NSMB?

Also, where's Paper Mario 2?

Why don't you guys make top 10 lists.

honestly, because this is that guys oppinion, and you are saying it's wrong?

Because opinions.

For those of you complaining about Melee being on there, the only standards they set for there list are "If you can play as Mario, it's a Mario game." I think it's stupid too, especially considering SSB feels more like a Kirby game than a Mario game, but yeah.

How so? They're basically the same exact thing except DK isn't gay and you can't snake, with funner battle maps, less unnecessary kart variations, and less characters. Oh, and MK64 had better items.

My Top 10 would go like this:

SMW
PMTTYD
PM
SSBM
NSMB
SMB3
MKDD
SMB
SMS
SM64

If SSBM doesn't count and YI does, I'd put YI in the first or second place.

My list is based on how much fun I had with each game instead of which games I think are deserving of higher ratings.
10-New Super Mario Bros
9-Mario Party 2
8-Mario RPG
7-Paper Mario
6-Mario Bros 3
5-Mario Kart 64
4-Yoshi's Island
3-Mario Bros
2-Mario 64
1-Super Mario World

All the tracks felt the same, and the maps were very boring.

And the graphics SUCKED.

In my opinion, SMB3 is really far from overrated. That game is as close to perfection as a video game can get, it seems to me. I can't understand what's not to like about it. It and SMW are my favorite Mario games.

And like others said, SSBM isn't even technically a Mario game.

It sounds like you're trying to turn cons into pros here.

How are karts that are all the same in looks except for color better than a selection of fascinating-looking, very Mario-themed karts that includes karts that look like the originals as well?

As for less characters, I can't understand at all how that's anything like a pro. :X

MK64 is still cool, though, of course.

EDIT: One of MK64's main cons, it seems to me, is the fact that its tracks tend to be very long and get sort of monotonous after a lap or two.

Are we talking about the same MK64?

You and your kind of people make me

Actually I wasn't trying to make them cons, they just happen to be among the differences, though I see how it could've been misinterpretted.

Though there did seem like the loads of karts weren't needed, as it worked fine with just "Light, Middle, and Heavy" as opposed to each kart bearing unique stats.

And I just remembered I hated Item being a stat, as thanks to this if you wanted a good kart you'd have to settle for Green Shells when in 7th place. But anyway

Edit: Also I love long tracks. That may be another reason why I prefer it

Ah, I seem to have misread your post then.

Though the "unnecessary" part still puzzles me a bit. The kart variations, while not necessary, did, in my opinion, put MKDS a step ahead of MK64 in that particular regard. I guess your post just sounded to me like you considered the lack of kart variations an aspect where MK64 was better, because of your use of the word "unnecessary". But yeah, I'm probably just nitpicking now, and this is all merely a matter of differing opinions.

My top 10 in no particular order would go something like this

Super Mario 64
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario Land 2
Paper Mario 1/PM2 (I can't choose between the two at the moment)
Mario Kart Double Dash
Yoshi's Island
Donkey Kong 94
Super Mario Bros. 2 (Jap)
Super Mario Sunshine

That is, of course, of the games I've played. SMRPG doesn't get a mention since it wasn't "Big" enough to get outside of the US which means instant fail (Even though in reality I back the Megadrive and have already played the ROM). Haven't played the majority of GBA/DS Mario games and of course half a year delay for Super Paper Mario isn't nice.

This list is somewhat right, but somewhat totally wrong.

How can SML AND Dr Mario be better than NSMB?
SML actually was nothing else but a fangame by Nintendo themselves, as it picks up stuff that was cool in SMB but adds stuff that Miyamoto would never have added.
And Dr Mario is a friggin puzzle game that is not better than a puzzle game like Tetris or something.


And where is Paper Mario?

Smash Bros. on that list is kinda an honor to Smash Bros. but unfortunately Smash Bros. is not a Mario game.

But from SMW upwards, I basically agree.

About MKDS, in my opinion it IS the best Mario Kart game, and that's not due to the online play, because that's was the worst made part of the game.
It was the best because it gave people single player missions, had an excellent engine and gameplay mechanics and went back to classics (SMB3 references for example.)


Also, I think it's not really fair to have the racers and RPGs in the same top 10 as the platformers. It would be better to have own lists for each genre.

And I quote what they said in the beginning:

All you need in a qualification is to be able to play as the plumber.

Case closed.

Did you get his point?
