For me it's a tie between the platformer one and the Kart series. I have to say that, except for Mario Tennis, i find that the sport itteration are not the best.
What's your favorite mario series?

You should play the newer Mario games, it will change your opinion, especially the one where Mario and story don't go together and that the platformers from the NES or SNES era were the only good ones.What, you mean the ones where the story doesn't involve Mario having to rescue the Princess from Bowser in order to save the Mushroom Kingdom? Point me to them and I'll look into it.[QUOTE="Willy105"][QUOTE="ianuilliam"]
I dunno. For me, they're all past their prime anyway. Super Mario World (SNES) was the best Mario platformer. Mario Kart 64 (N64) was the best Mario Kart. Never played a Mario RPG (the concept just seemed goofy; I mean RPGs are heavily dependant on story. Story and Mario don't go together. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime...). Mario sports games (or sports games in general) are just a travesty. Mario Party games are kinda fun for a party, but party games < real games. So I guess I'd say the platformers, but only from the NES/SNES era.

Well, there was SMB 2, and Mario Sunshine... but for the sake of being able to say Mario games are at least decent, we should probably just pretend those two didn't ever happen, huh?
Those games are fantastic. How dare you insult them?
As for post SNES era platforming... Mario 64 was alright. Sunshine, as I said, we're better off pretending didn't happen. While I haven't played Galaxy, the fact that the previous 3d Marios have not been an improvement over the older 2d ones, combined with the fact that the waggle-mote is inferior to a regular controller leads me to think I won't be overly impressed.
That's insane. The 3D Mario games are much better than the old 2D games. And Mario Galaxy is one of the reasons the Wii mote (and motion control in general) is such a great thing for older styIe games.
And NSMBWii? From what I hear, they've pretty much removed any amount of challenge from the game.
The one of the bad things about the game is that it's too hard.
I stand by my statement that the NES (SMB, SMB3) and SNES (SMW) were the peak for Mario games.
Those games were great (except SMB3), but to say they are the peak of the Mario games is just nostalgia blurring things.

[/QUOTE Motion control in SMG isn't a sell for the Wii and isn't innovative at all. :|
