Stan at GameSpew: There’s so many Mario sports games out there, but we’ve narrowed them down to the top 10. The Premier League standard of Mario sports games, if you will.

Not sure which will best capture the spirit of the Games? Check out our list for the closure you need.
Don’t like sports? There’s a whole segment of games you can immediately write off, as far as you’re concerned. Or can you?
