Counting down the best Mario games of all time
Mario's appearances in over 100 games range from traditional side scrolling adventures to ones where he plays baseball, archery and tennis. Blockbusters like Super Mario Bros. 3 brought new fans, while flops like Mario is Missing missed the mark. These 25, however, represent his best work, a collection of puzzle games, 2-D romps through the Mushroom Kingdom and heated matches on the soccer field.

ok none of the new mario games should b in the top 10 they suck none are as good as the old ones. i mean the old one are the originals u cant get better than them like with mario kart the new one is probably not as good as the old one why because the old one was made by ppl who liked mario not because it was another job the old games had heart put into it thats what i guess im tryin to get at here
Nu-uh SMRPG(Super Mario RPG) Should be 1st! Best Mario game I've played. *sob* nostalgic.
i think super mario 64 should have been from at least 3-9
super mario sunshine, superstar saga, an mario kart double dash (where the hell is it Buffa? It was so much more fun than the wii version of mario kart) were the best mario games ever. Seriously though, Mario Paint? Sounds retarted.
Mariokart DS should deserve a spot in the top 5.
yep true. the best is smb 3.
and evry paper mario game :)
I love super mario sunshine!!
is this the top 25 mario games, or is this all of the mario games? wasnt much of a hard choice if there were all of them there
Okay, Chris Buffa, now your cool. You like Super Mario Sunshine! But I think Super Mario 64 should have been at least as number 3.
