After recently playing through Super Mario Bros. 3, I realize I should have placed it higher on my list. It has so many ideas that influenced all future Mario games.

@4myAmuzumament:Yes, I thought about that, but since Smash Bro's is such a fan favorite, I couldn't resist including it. Plus I included Super Mario Kart, which is a racing game. And didn't want to exclude just because Smash is a fighting game. Anyways, keep the votes coming!

@Litchie: That works too. You can just give it your best shot if you really want to rank them though.

Best Mario Game of All Time Poll

I had a great idea for a poll voted by the players. I will periodically come back and check up on this and I think it would be fun. After six months or perhaps a year (depending on progress) I will add up the scores and post the results.

Here's how it works:

Take some time and list your top favorite Mario games in order of personal preference. These include only Mario themed games. Platform games, such as Super Mario Brothers 2, Super Mario World and Mario 64. Mario themed role playing games, such as Paper Mario and Superstar Saga. The list can also include the Mario Kart games, Smash Bros., and Mario themed sports games. All other games when Mario just happens to make an appearance etc. do not qualify as an entry. Such as Donkey Kong and Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Luigi's Mansion games are also accepted. After all it is his good ol' bro.

This is how the points are added up:

Pretty simple. Only the top ten games count as points. You can list more than ten, but after the tenth spot down they do not count for points. Your number one game counts as 10 points, 2nd game counts for 9, 3rd counts as 8. Get the drift? Thought so. So even if it get's to the 10th spot, it still gets 1 point.

The "Magic Egg" Award:

Finally, I got an idea of an award that goes out to the game that has been wanted to play by the people, but never got the chance to play. So, after you make your list, please ad the one special Mario game you always wanted to play, but never had the chance to.. And, if you played them all (Lucky you!!!) , just leave it blank. The game that is added up the most for that will receive the Magic Egg Award.

Here is my list, but I won't count it for the final score. That is up to you! Thanks for reading and have fun with your list!!!!

Please Read: No Bashing over others lists. Remember one's opinion is really just as important as another. Have fun!

Magic Egg: Super Paper Mario

Well if we are talking just about Gamestop here then it would have to be Metroid Prime Trilogy, because there is not rating lol. IMHO it is the best Wii title that you can buy right with the first Mario Galaxy. They are my two favorites on disc. Some good downloadables.. too. Cave Story etc...
