  • kylescousin, on 11/16/2009, -2/+46I prefer Mario Kart on SNES... that was hella-fun!
  • SaintAleczandah, on 11/16/2009, -8/+47How the ***** is Mario Kart 64 considered better than Super Mario Galaxy?
  • madmac625, on 11/16/2009, -0/+38I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.
  • drewba, on 11/16/2009, -2/+36SMRPG FTW
  • SaintAleczandah, on 11/16/2009, -2/+29I blame your piss-poor work ethics.
  • ZombieSociety, on 11/16/2009, -11/+33Super Mario Bros. 3 > Super Mario World.
  • RachelJTM, on 11/16/2009, -1/+19Im all about the old games...really cause Im terrible at the new ones
  • ssquared22, on 11/16/2009, -1/+18Can't wait to play the new game.
  • fidmart85, on 11/16/2009, -0/+16I have mixed feelings about Mario 2. It was alot of fun, but it didn't really feel like a Mario game. That game is in a class by itself. That was the first time i realized that video games and drugs made an awesome combination.
  • pwarnock, on 11/16/2009, -1/+16I might buy a Wii for the new one.
  • jgrandi, on 11/16/2009, -1/+16I used to love Mario so much. i think that this is the best game ever created!
  • NathanielJ, on 11/16/2009, -3/+18Coming soon: the five best Final Fantasies, the three best Metroid games, the 5 best Zeldas, and several other generic fanservice lists!
  • zzfive, on 11/16/2009, -1/+16I blame Mario roms for my lack of productivity at work.
  • festizian, on 11/16/2009, -0/+14Why has Geno never been a Smash Bro's playable character. He was pure ***** awesome.
  • cbench, on 11/16/2009, -0/+14I'm a big fan of the under appreciated GameCube classic Super Mario Sunshine.

    It was like Mario 64 2.0

    Especially the levels without the water-pack, those took genuine Mario skills!
  • nubnub, on 11/16/2009, -3/+17SMB2 is a fake
  • hfactor, on 11/16/2009, -0/+14You misspelled "Super Mario World". For once, one of these articles has got it right.
  • Surfrock66, on 11/16/2009, -2/+15I'm super happy that SMW was top of the list, sometimes I feel I'm the only one who thinks it's one of the best ever...

    ...but IMHO Super Paper Mario for Wii is top 2, if not top. I love the way they integrated the RPG and classic platformer stuff, I thought the collecting was a great element, the Pixl's were a neat mechanic, the whole game was great to me. I'd say it's my top Wii game so far for sure.
  • SaintAleczandah, on 11/16/2009, -0/+13Who is "Luigy"?
  • batmanz, on 11/16/2009, -4/+17Super Mario World is the best. Followed by 64. I speak the truth.
  • SaintAleczandah, on 11/16/2009, -0/+13I blame your noobishness.
  • mrcoldcow, on 11/16/2009, -0/+12I'd digg you up because I agree with you, but you said hella.
  • erichw1504, on 11/16/2009, -0/+11R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg
  • cholula, on 11/16/2009, -5/+15there is only one mario game and that is super mario bros. for that matter there is only one video game. and that is super mario bros.
  • wezman2, on 11/16/2009, -1/+11Yes... yes you are.
  • directedition, on 11/16/2009, -0/+10I contest the implication that Mario World was harder than Mario 3. Maybe I just played World too much, but I found world 8 in Mario 3 to be one of the most difficult to play.

    And please, "The game had so many levels that to this day we don’t think we’ve actually finished it all the way through." Every mario fan worth a damn got little star next to their save game.
  • MMusick, on 11/16/2009, -4/+13Tough call for me between Mario Kart on SNES and Super Mario World. Also, am I the only one that likes Mario 2 better than 3 on NES?
  • ervinTE8, on 11/16/2009, -0/+9I'll admit, I suck at the old Super Mario Bros., but Lost Levels wasn't cleverly designed at all. It was difficult for the sake of being difficult.
  • allisonaxe, on 11/16/2009, -0/+9You did a typo there, I believe you meant to put a number 3, but somehow you typed out the word "world." weird, man.
  • Entroper, on 11/16/2009, -0/+9And a damn good game. Not better than SMB3, but damn good nonetheless.
  • LBUCHA, on 11/16/2009, -6/+15Mario Bros. the original. Best. Ever.
  • Shawn4168, on 11/16/2009, -0/+8http://rorr.im/digg.com/nintendo/top_five_mario_ga ...
  • joejitsu, on 11/16/2009, -0/+8Super Mario RPG was awesome.
  • stuartjmoore, on 11/16/2009, -1/+9That's because it's not a Mario game.
  • mkriss5681, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7The greatest game cart ever made was a rare version of Super Mario All Stars + World that came bundled with the SNES console towards the end of it's life. It's a must have for any Mario collector. Having all those games together is epic.
  • RicardoWilliams, on 11/16/2009, -5/+12yes. Super Mario Bros. for SNES!
    4EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrr
  • nouman1989, on 11/16/2009, -4/+11Mario=Epic
  • mywhitenoise, on 11/16/2009, -1/+8but Mario Bros 3 was better than the original, and World was better than 3, and 64 was better than World.
  • SaintAleczandah, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7Used to? So now you don't?
  • festizian, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7Super Mario World imma let you finish but Mario Paint was the best Mario game of all time!
  • bluddystool, on 11/16/2009, -1/+8(Insert Mario game here) is better than (insert another Mario game here) so this list is totally *****.
  • GRVeee2, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7I love them all equally, they all have a special place in my heart... yes even Mario Bros 2
  • BoneheadFarker, on 11/16/2009, -0/+7http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yume_K%C5%8Dj%C5%8D:_ ...
  • yikesidigg, on 11/16/2009, -2/+9They got this almost right in my opinion. I would have swapped Super Mario RPG out for Super Mario Galaxy.
  • EnTaroTassadar, on 11/16/2009, -1/+7The article says there are 2 flutes in SM3. There are 3, according to the instruction booklet. I found a 4th while playing as a kid.

    I miss finding stuff like that.
  • ManUnitdFan, on 11/16/2009, -1/+7It's really good. But be warned that other than simultaneous multiplayer, it brings nothing new to the table. So if you're looking for innovation, stay away, but if you want unadulterated old-school Mario, it's awesome.
  • QueEsAmor, on 11/17/2009, -0/+6You should most definitely buy a Wii for Galaxy.
  • randmcnally, on 11/16/2009, -0/+6yeah it's pretty easy, but a hell of a lot of fun, especially with four people playing at the same time.

    did he get it when it was released on Sunday and stay up all night? are you serious? obviously he downloaded it on Thursday, spent all Friday night and Saturday trying to get it patched, and then beat it on Sunday.

    Here's 144 pages that sumarized a lot of people's weekends:

  • slammajamma28, on 11/16/2009, -0/+6Dugg for Mitch
  • DBeta, on 11/16/2009, -0/+6Most people I know rank Mario 3 above World, but I agree with this article. My top 5 would be

    5. Galaxy
    4. 64
    3. Mario 3
    2. Super Mario Brothers(it came with duckhunt. Screw The Orange Box, SMB was the best value in video gaming)
    1. World
