    Nintendo Power magazine recently listed "Super Mario Galaxy" as the number one Mario game of all time. If you read my most recent review, I disagree! What *is* the greatest Mario game of all time? I guess it all boils down to personal opinion.

    I'm torn between Super Mario 2 and 3....oh wait and Super Mario World...ahhh they're all so good!

    BTW, my name is Chillo and i'm new to gamespot. I'd love some new friends!

    Super Mario World will probably always be my favorite Mario. People make the argument that Super Mario Bros. 3 was a more original game, and that may be true, but to my tastes, Super Mario World just had much more charm. I love everything about the game!

    More recently, I enjoyed Super Mario 3D Land a great deal. Before that, it had been several years since I'd been truly satisfied with a Mario game.

    I'm still impressed by Mario Galaxy. It's a great game that makes me dizzy. MARIO ON ACID! YEAH!

    Any of the Mario and Luigi games. They have great charm and an incredible sense of humor. That, or Paper Mario TTYD

    Super Mario World took whatever made SMB 3 great and multiplied it, so Super Mario World. Best 3d Mario's probably the Galaxy series, but they don't come up to SMW.

    Of all the Mario games Super Mario World was the one I played fanatically as a kid and I still love playing it, so it has my vote.

    My favorite Mario game is Super Mario World for 2D, Super Mario Galaxy 2 for 3D, and I also loved Sunshine for it's originality, even if I hated it for it's repetitiveness. (I look at you, red and blue coins )

    Thanks to Mr_Jenkins for this awesome sig. Proudly the younger sibling of Shy_Guy_Red. Oh so very joyfully, happily and extaticly married to Sirracannal and Mr_Jenkins. ^,..,^

    I'm going to have to say Super Mario Galaxy 2. I'm hoping for a Super Mario Galaxy 3.
