what is your favorite Mario 3D Platformer

My favorite has to be Super Mario 64, what about you guys.

Mario 64 for me was the best but I loved both Galaxy as well as Sunshine! Good times!

I actually like all three of them a lot. Yes, even Sunshine, which in my opinion is a very underrated game and gets too much hate by too many people. If I had to choose one though, I'd choose Galaxy because it's just super awesome and amazing.

Super Mario Galaxy.And personally,I thought Super Mario Sunshine was terrible.

Super Mario Sunshine - no doubt about it. Intriguing gameplay, different storyline: an awesome game which is extremely underated.

super mario galaxy is definitely my favorite

The only 3d Mario I've played is Galaxies. So, I guess that wins by default.

64 was spectacular for it's time, but comparing the two side by side Galaxy is better. Sunshine was just frustrating! Oh, and can we count the DS 64?

64 was the best platformer of its gen. SMG is the best platformer this gen! I'd have to say SMG, because of how unique it is compared to other platformers.

Super mario galaxy by far, super mario 64's camera is awful now

Mario 64 was terrible

Awful control and awful camera

What made it worse that Nintendo doesn't know how to make a natural progression. The game is so awkward mostly because you need to explore so much and because of the awful controls and camera the experience becomes a chore.

It's got the novelty of 3D going for it and that's nice and all but it was just too soon

Sunshine wasn't bad, there's a lot of elements wrong in it but it's also got a bunch right.

Galaxy was great. In a lot of ways it brought Mario back to his roots and had a sense of progression that made sense. The controls were nice and besides that "flick" for the attack it was pretty much perfect.

I don't mind flicking the Wiimote for the action but I can see how some could have tired of it.

amazing soundtrack (which for me is really key in making a game memorable)TaMuK711

Super Mario Sunshine

I'd have to pick Galaxy, mainly because I haven't played Sunshine (yet), and I only played SM64 on the DS, so I don't really have a fair comparison.

(But Galaxy was awesome anyway!)

Luigi's Mansion FTW!!!

i guess if i had to choose a mario game it would be 64

I agree with Galaxy, not so much Mario 64 and SunShine.

By todays stadards yes, the control and camera in 64 are kinda bad. But this game was released in 1994, 15 years ago. Not to mention that it was the 1st 3D game I ever played. Playing that game after finishing my last SNES game, it was fantastic.

SunShine was a fun game, but yeah, could have been alot better.

galaxy!

Gaming entered 3D before the mid 70's so I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this

Nah Jason, you just sucked at it. That's all.

You can admit it, it's ok. Nothing wrong with sucking at video games.

While I really enjoyed Galaxy I have to go with 64.

Super Mario Galaxy all the way.

64 FOR SURE

I feel that SMS/Galaxy were based around gimicks that made them seem better, but actually really did nothing for the series besides enhancing graphics, and controls slightly making them smoother feeling.

I feel the same way for the Zelda series.

SMG>SM64>SMSwiifan001

Super Mario Sunshine. It had such a vast and open world. I also loved the retro levels that you had to do without FLUDD or whatever it was called. Once FLUDD was taken away you slowly realize how different and harder the game was.

Second is Galaxy. The creativity and music were off the scale. Especially the music, it was just too cool.

I guess Super Mario 64 in terms of 3d games, but Super Mario Bros. 2 is the best one I've ever played. For real.

I'm pretty sure I read it in a academic journal... of gaming science...

:P

Kidding aside, I like Sunshine too, but I don't think it's anywhere near as good as Galaxy or as seminal as 64.

For best 3D Mario game it has to be Super Mario Galaxy I think it has great levels and cool power ups and gravity and sphercial worlds and an amazing soundtrack but overall Super Mario Bros 3 is my favourite Mario game of all time.
