Since the first of the Super Mario Bros. games back on the good 'ole original Nintendo Entertainment System, Mario (and his brother Luigi) have enjoyed a variety of special abilities bestowed upon them based on which kind of suit they've donned. In honor of Nintendo's recently-released New Super Mario Bros. game for the Wii, the Game Guys rank the ten best Mario suits of all time.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
The author is wrong about #10 you can see the boot suit again in Mario and Luigi Bowsers Inside Story, well is not a Mario plattformer game but still.
Also I would make a distinction between suits and power ups, as I consider the star a power up, not a suit.
Meh...Metal Mario was boring and mostly used to run underwater to throw switches. Really fun to do. /end sarcasm
Tanooki should've been 1 or 2. Invincible, Tanooki, and Fire should've been the top 3. Or you could put Cape Mario in the top 3 as well...btw not being on the list is also a fail. Adding 2 suits from New Super Mario Bros Wii...sigh, come on dude, pick Propeller or Penguin and put Cape Mario in there.
Penguin suit rocks!
The dude is also wrong about not being able to fly with the Tanooki suit.
