Nintendo Enthusiast:
"We already had one tournament taking place over December/January to decide which game is the Best Zelda Ever. We had a lot of success with over 600 votes in the final round so we decided it’s soon time to settle the next universal question that plagues the human condition: What is the Best Mario Game Ever?
Yes, I know you began sobbing as soon as you heard the question, because choosing one over the other is a heart-wrenching decision like no other. But, we must do it. To save humanity. So help us explore metaphysics and science. Together we will plumb the depths of the Dire Dire Docks. We will climb the highest dancing hills of the Mushroom Kingdom and examine their creepy eyeballs. We will let no Yoshi or Fire Flower go unnoticed. And together we will decide upon the Best Mario Game Ever!!"
SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
The Switch game, which was announced earlier this year, is a remake of a cult favorite GameCube title, and currently holds a placeholder release date of 2024. However, it’s possible that since the game is already beginning to arrive at rating boards, the release could come early in the year.
A series of new Special Edition Mario Bomber Jackets allow fans to show their dedication to the franchise when out and about.
The Jackets look good but are kids sizes only 😭
🤬 They don’t want my nostalgia money
Super Mario World, enough said. I loved Mario 64, Mario 3, but damn it all... I could play Super Mario World over and over and over again.
You guys beat me too it..Super Mario World for me too..
Overall, I suppose SMB3 for me.
Toughest choice this round has to be SMB vs. SM64. I think I've gotta give the nod to SMB, though. Heresy, I know, but if you're giving me only one of those two games to play, I'm going with the original NES masterwork.
Im gonna have to say Mario 64 for me! I dunno, that game just changed my life towards games, and ive been playing them since Atari and Colecovision days! Countless days and nights playing nonstop. Never felt that kind of experience again in a game.
Super mario world 3 for me. I also have a taste for mario sunshine.
