    I'm surprised by the poll results; I never realized how many SMB3 fans there are here. Great game, of couse. All the Mario games are terrific.

    Super Mario 64 is my favorite. The experience of playing that game, and wandering about for the first time, it's just about unsurpassed. You knew you were experiencing something that had never been created before, and that rush of discovery would never really be captured again. 3D games have just become tired and stale ever since then.

    After that, I'd go with Super Mario World, which I slightly prefer over Mario 3, and Yoshi's Island, which is so vivid and quirky.

    Hell, Donkey Kong is still fun every now and then. Mario just has the best luck; he's never been in a bad game.

    SMRPG is my favorite. Very good RPG. Followed by SMB3 and SMW.

    I was actually disappointed that Super Mario World 2 was so completely different.

    Yes, Mario 64 definately set the standard for 3D games today.
    I too was dissapointed that mario world 2 was pretty much completely different. I mean I did like the game, but some people don't even know it exists.
    Just think if Miyamoto decided back then to make a "TRUE SEQUEL" to Super mario world, an exact follow up to the original.
    If that happened I could truely die a happy man!!!

    Super Mario World followed VERY closely by SMB3. Sunshine is the next one. I wonder why no one likes sunshine that much? Some people can't stand the "scavenger aspect" or the "spray nozzle".

    Super Mario World. Even though I never owned a Super Nintendo "back in the day", it was the one game for the system that I played often enough (between several people's houses) to get really good at in absentia.

    Having finally gotten myself an SNES last year, I made it my first goal to seek out the Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario World combo cart. It is mine (because I pretty much overpaid at GameStop), and I am supremely happy.

    Second on the list is Super Mario Bros. 3, the Mario game I have probably played the most in my lifetime - many all-night sessions were expended to beat the sixth, seventh and eighth areas of that game during my late elementary and junior high school years.

    Now, I see that Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario are on the list, but...where's Mario and Luigi for GBA? I know a lot of people love that one.

    Very good topic, by the way.

    Super Mario World is by my favourite, closely followed by Super Mario All-Stars.

    I would have voted All-Stars, but I thought that that was cheap because it has almost every old school one. My favorite is without a doubt SMB3. I played that forever on All-Stars, and now that I have it for the GBA, I don't think I'll be stopping soon.

    I am definately not suprised to see SMB3 at number 1 and really not suprised to see super mario world at #2, but am very surprised to see that Mario64 and Sunshine aren't doing alot better.

    Super Mario World for me. I loved the whole map feature plus this game had TONS of secrets. I can remember spending long nights trying to find all of the alternate ways to get through some of the levels. Good times...

    this is where my vote goes to

    Super Mario World and Mario 3 slaughter the polls

    but the day this game arrived on Super Mario All-Stars under the name "The Lost Levels" I was hooked.

    Any oddball sequel or lost titles to a games series...I will love it. Underdog titles are my favorite.

    or as I like to put it:

    "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by,
    And that has made all the difference."
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    I'm in for Super Mario World (SNES). That was the first game I saw running on the SNES at a friend's house. The next week I had the system with SMW packed in. Many memories are recalled of my sister and I fighting over the controller and stealing lives!

    I should know this, but was it Sqaure-Enix that made this game with Nintendo?
    Yeah, for some reason I don't know this, that's a good fucking combination!

    dunno. i'm gonna have to go with the original SMB, since it pretty much splits the game industry in to their BC/AD periods.

    so many memories...

    SMB3 and SMW were just breathtaking in their scope at the time, and still feel like fresh new 'discoveries' as someone put it today.

    i saw a japanese N64 running mario 64 the day i went to buy SMRPG, and so that game will always be a lovely swan song for the SNES to me.

    SM64 was like the original, another turning point, and i must say, the only 3D platform game i have ever found truly enjoyable. repeated visits to the levels emphasized their playground nature and were broken into perfectly sized chunks, and it didn't seem like repetitve backtracking fetch gaming like everything that followed (even zelda: OOT)...
