Top Ten Super Mario Games « paranerds.com

With the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2 we noticed the excitement in the air. Not just from hardcore( HXC ) gamers but everyone–kids, adults, and kidults . So we decided to look back at all the Mario adventure titles, excluding the party games like Mario Kart, Mario Party and Mario Tennis but the ones that have exploration and adventures and the saving/ helping of a princess. With all the Mario games out there which ones are the best? This is the Top Ten Super Mario Games.

Where's the original Super Mario Bros? How do you not credit the game that started it all?

I'm with timothylittle. SMB set the stage, created the universe, fixed the general story, established central characters. etc.

Yes SMB is a classic but imo it doesn't compare to most of the series. It's a list of the best, not the most important.

Was glad to have seen SML2 and Bowser's Inside Story in there, disappointed that Sunshine wasn't included, most underappreciated Mario game after SMB2. And although Galaxy 2 might as well represent the first as well, they are both well deserving of their own place.

Lastly, Thousand Year Door >>>>>>> Super Paper Mario.

My personal top ten:

Galaxy 2
Galaxy
World
Bros 3
Sunshine
64
Thousand Year Door
RPG
Bowser's Inside Story
