Which game is your favourite?

MW8979 · 12-24-2003, 07:19 AM

Just thought I'd ask by means of a poll what the general consensus on this good old gaming series is. For me it was a hard choice between Mario 3 and 4, but in the end, I think Mario 3 was the better one, just because it was a very original landmark game that set the standard for a lot of things. Don't get me wrong however, I think Mario World is 98% as good. I also realized that the game designers of Mario World clearly must have been starving or smoking a lot of hash/pot, because there really is no other feasible explanation for naming the kingdoms/domains in that game the way they did.

3 is the greatest Mario game ever. Probably the best platformer ever too.

Nosferatu · 12-24-2003, 09:46 AM

Definately, Super Mario Bros. 3.

*jeff the cheff* · 12-24-2003, 12:15 PM

I think mario 3 is the best, also. My 2nd best would be super mario world, but I seem to rarely play that one, but I play 3 all the time. My 3rd favirote is Mario 1, it was good except you can't control mario mid-jump as much as you could in the others. Mario 2 is a lot different from the rest, and I don't like it as much, I almost never play that one.

Thanl you Mario....but our princess is in a different castle........just kidding....hahahahahahaha

*Raven* · 12-24-2003, 12:18 PM

hhmm tough one, im gonna choose one at random and go with the 3rd mario game....because its the only one I can rememeber

*Kid Icarus* · 12-24-2003, 03:28 PM

I like SMW more then SMB3, but only because I've yet to beat 3.

3 was hard...especially that wierd castle which I still don't know exactly how I beat it. I've beaten it plenty of times without a guide and I still dont know exactly what I have to do.

**GK Punk** · 12-24-2003, 04:10 PM

Wow, if that isn't a tough question...

I think I will choose 3 above all though.

I'm stuck at level 7. I could beat it, but I don't wanna take the time to

3, all the way!!! They're all fun, though.

You should play the Japanese version, known here as "Lost Levels".

Nintendo thought it was too hard, so they took Doki Doki Panic and replaced some sprites and fixed up animations and made a few little tweaks, and released it here with the SMB2 title.

**Karpo_007** · 12-24-2003, 06:12 PM

From those, SMB3. But I think Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island is the best 2D platformer ever made.

MW8979 · 12-24-2003, 07:28 PM

Hmm...seems SM3 is winning by a landslide.....Pretty strange actually, cause I was expecting it to be more of a tie with Mario World. But I guess SM3 came first, so it had more influence over the gaming populace.

Damn right it was hard, but did the American SMB2 ever get released in Japan?

Yes it did. It was released as "Super Mario USA". I'll have to go with Super Mario World simply because it was the first game that I ever owned personally. I had played all 3 of the Super MarioBros. series with my cousins, and beaten them, but I also love SMW because my little sister was born Christmas 1991, which is when I got SMW. Though SMB3 is equal in every way....techinally maybe even better since Super Mario Advance 4's enhancments. SMW is just more special to me personally.

Bingo! I can't express how much fun I had with that game!

Nosferatu · 12-27-2003, 06:48 PM

Was Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island the game where you played as Yoshi?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 12-27-2003, 06:53 PM

yes it was.

Nosferatu · 12-27-2003, 07:50 PM

Thought so. That's probably my least favorite Mario game I've played. I just don't like Yoshi much and I didn't really enjoy the gameplay of that game.
