    For me, it has to be Sunshine. I played the hell out of that.

    Is Super Mario Bros. 3 really that good? I own it, and I think it's the worst main Mario game ever made.

    Super Mario Galaxy.  Hands down my favorite game of all time.  It capitalized on both Mario's established pedigree, while taking the three dimensional series where it needed to go, in a time where platformers appeared dead or abandoned.  It also rekindled my interest in video games, which has sent my wallet back hundred of dollar since.

    Holy crap, this is probably one of the worst posts ever made.  I know its an opinion and everything, but can anyone deny the awesomeness of SMB3?
     
    For me its Super Mario World and then SMB3 in a close second.

    Any answer that isn't Super Mario World is wrong.  And yes your opinions can be wrong.  Example:  Super Mario World isn't the best Mario.

    Apparently, Shigeru Miyamoto was disappointed with Super Mario World, having to force it into market unfinished (which explains why there are ninety six levels instead of the planned one hundred.)

    Super Mario World was awesome, but I have to go with Mario 3. Honestly, I love them all, besides 2. That game still gives me nightmares.

    Super Mario World, it's the first game I played, I think it was at least. I was pretty young at that time.

    I think I first played a Mario game at my cousins. Super Mario All-Stars. My favourite out of that was SMB3 by far. Love the suits and music.
     
    I really didn't like Super Mario World when I played it briefly some time after. It wasn't SMB3, and I wasn't too keen on the sprites and some of the art. Not too sure what it is, but something doesn't connect with me. I need to go back and play through that whole game.

    Super Mario Bros. 3 is probably the ultimate. Mario 64 is my favorite Mario game probably due to the amount of time I had with it, but SMB3 is soooooo good.

    I hate to be predictable, but Super Mario World is platforming perfected. If SMB 2 is a radical departure from the formula and SMB 3 is a conservative expansion of the original idea (with lost levels simply being SMB 1.5), then Mario World takes the best of both and manages to surpass all four NES titles. What else can I say without sounding so hyperbolic that it becomes nauseating?

    This! That game made me enjoy video games again, after a few years of grey and brown FPS's it's exactly what I needed.

    Well, I guess my experience with it did not resemble awesome to me, more like frustration. Super Mario World however, was great.
     
    Super Mario Kart is also the worst of the Mario Kart series by far. Sure, ot was awesome when it came out, but after playing the sequels, the first one is just too primitive. And this is from the guy who liked the first Final Fantasy.

    Oh man!  Yes, getting further in the game can make it frustrating.  Especially iin the 8th world where all you have is moving ships, but its so filled with tension.  The bosses are super easy though. 
    Please tell us that at least you think its better than Mario Kart 64!  It may seem primitive but only in terms of graphics, music and some driving issues, but it had a lot of good stuff that I hated to see go. 
    It had mode 7.  Also, i thought the idea of running over the ? blocks was a good one for the time, and the fact that they would not come back, so once you used one it was red the whole race, and you could end up not getting anything if you used up a good section.  Then the idea of coins and weight, I think the coins made a come back in Super Circuit.  That was a good idea, that you needed coins to go a little faster and not get bumped into spinning out.
