Atari: Mario Ranked | Sputnikmusic

Atari 11.13.12	bring on the hate. i know this will be different than a lot of people but mario sunshine is so underrated i feel it deserves to be at the number 2 spot.
Keyblade 11.13.12	How can 6 be so low bro. Hooooow
SgtPepper 11.13.12	No Mario Kart: Double Dash? I loved that game.
Atari 11.13.12	@Keyblade, you have no idea how hard this list was to make as i love almost all these games but yeah actually i think i'd switch 5 and 6 now that i think about it.
menawati 11.13.12	jump jump dlldz dllldz dllllldz
Atari 11.13.12	@Paperback,not counting the mario karts just the classic mario save the princess kill bowser ones ;) besides ther'es like 5 mario karts lol i include 1 i have to include them all
SgtPepper 11.13.12	Yeah, you're right. List is great, man. Mario never gets old.
Atari 11.13.12	thanks paper yeah agreed same with zelda :) @Captain, of course i do man. so many good memories agreed
Masochist 11.13.12	#1 isn't #1, and #2 isn't #2. Give it to Super Mario 3, Super Mario World or Super Mario 64. Me and a revolving group of about five other people played through #11 over the span of a month. We called it Troll Mario. It lived up to its name.
Atari 11.13.12	sorry but 1 has to be 1 it's the original!! but yeah i wasn't expecting very many people to agree with number 2 :P
Calc 11.13.12	two things -did you even play 12? -you missed his best work, D.N.A and Turning Point!!
undertakerpt 11.13.12	Good list. Still haven't played sunshine, must get!!! Personally, super mario world is my fave cos it was the first one I played and still gives a nostalgia trip to this day. I'm guessing the wario and luigi titles are not taken into account here?
Crymsonblaze 11.13.12	For me... 7, 6, 4, 3, 1, 8, 10, 2, 9, 5 Didn't play 11 and 12 is a great compilation but I haven't played Lost Levels enough to really judge it on its own
evilford 11.13.12	the bass bottles hahhaha
mvood 11.13.12	nonononono super mario world is the best
evilford 11.13.12	pretty inclusive list, well done personally, I would have to say Mario 64. so many hours of my life wasted/well spent on that game. World was fkn amazing as well obvs, honestly I enjoy both of them more than the NES versions. but 1 and 3 were amazing as well, all classics.
evilford 11.13.12	oh and yeah Sunshine was great but it felt more like a re-hashed version of 64...maybe just me idk, just wasn't as fun.
Crymsonblaze 11.13.12	Looking forward to the new Paper Mario. Probably will get it at Christmas
Calc 11.13.12	you're also missing the mario and luigi partners in time for DS which was def better than mario 2 at least
Atari 11.13.12	@Xenophanes, sorry to disappoint you just my personal preference but i enjoy every single one of these games.
mvood 11.13.12	"You'll have to forgive me for not including mario RPG for snes" no, i wont
menawati 11.13.12	does every game have loads of dlldz dllldz dllllldz or did they move away from that
FrozenVain 11.13.12	Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island are my favorites.
climactic 11.13.12	the original paper mario is the BEST
FrozenVain 11.13.12	I'm rollin' SNES you know
bach 11.13.12	So true about 2. Sunshine never really got the love it should've received. Disagree with 1, though. It is an obvious classic, but Mario 64 is my everything. And judging by your video game tastes, you'd probably like a youtube channel called jontronshow.
Atari 11.13.12	i like fighting games but i always get my ass kicked lol
Keyblade 11.13.12	as far as sidescrolling Mario games go, 6 is best IMO.
Crymsonblaze 11.13.12	can't stand fighting games or shooter games rpg and platformers all the way
Calc 11.13.12	"im a marvel vs capcom II master" your too cool for me...
mikeg1992 11.13.12	Super Mario 64 turned video games into art. There's no arguing that this was the best and most important video game ever made. Fuck Ocarina of Time.
ThunderNeutral21 11.13.12	8 is so bad 64 and mario bros 3 are best mario bros 1 is third best
Atari 11.13.12	nah 8 isn't bad at all not as good as 3 but still awesome.
Crymsonblaze 11.13.12	there's nothing wrong with smb2 it only gets a bad rep because it's not a true mario game and all that
Keyblade 11.13.12	"Super Mario 64 turned video games into art. There's no arguing that this was the best and most important video game ever made. Fuck Ocarina of Time.' no
evilford 11.13.12	sorry but Metal Gear Solid > any mario game ever or any game ever for that matter
menawati 11.13.12	pong >
mikeg1992 11.13.12	come at me bro
bach 11.13.12	"Fuck Ocarina of Time." Take that back.
evilford 11.13.12	and I love mario a lot so you know I mean that
Masochist 11.13.12	Sunshine was fun, but it didn't stand up to 64, or even Galaxy. And yeah, you gotta have Mario RPG, all three Paper Marios, and the GB Mario adventures (Partners In time, Superstar Saga, Bowser's Inside Story, etc.).
Atari 11.13.12	never got into the metal gear solid games (just never got around to it) switched mario 3 with mario galaxy cause it is def amazing.
Trebor. 11.13.12	I wouldn't lump Galaxy 1 and 2 together because I think 2 is significantly better
FrozenVain 11.13.12	Ocarina of time is a overrated game. Don't know why so many are so damn horny for that game. The combat sucks. It's not a bad game,but still way more boring than other Zelda games.
Trebor. 11.13.12	New Super Mario Bros. Wii is terrible
Atari 11.13.12	hehe masochist haven't played too many handleld mario's except the one's i listed. disagreed though. mario 64 might be better than sunshine but no way is galaxy better than sunshine IMO
Trebor. 11.13.12	Implying people play Zelda games for the combat
Atari 11.13.12	@Trebor, nah i mean it's not the best mario obviously but still awesome at least in my opinion.
Atari 11.13.12	and yeah but i only made 12 spots in my list so i decided to lump galaxy 1 and 2 together. agreed that number 2 was better though cause yoshi!
evilford 11.13.12	MGS > Klax > GTA San Andreas > All Marios > Half-Life > Max Payne > Resident Evil 2 & 4 > some other stuff > Super Smash TV > Star Fox > some other stuff > Goldeneye > lots of other stuff >> lots and lots of other stuff >>>> colonoscopy > super smash bros
Cipieron 11.13.12	wth, no Super Mario RPG????
Keyblade 11.13.12	yea nsmbw is boring as fuck
Atari 11.13.12	cool list ford but no way are all marios better than goldeneye lol goldenguy is maybe the most original shooter of all time.
Atari 11.13.12	@Cipieron, sorry : ( i'm going to see if they have a download of mario RPG on the wii virtual console when i get home.
evilford 11.13.12	I would say half life is more original by a small margin and yeah I was joking with all marios, but overall as a franchise I would put it there
evilford 11.13.12	oh and Metroid: Prime
mvood 11.13.12	portal is the most original fps obviously
Yazz_Flute 11.13.12	where the fuck is Mario Baseball
Atari 11.13.12	as a franchise then fuck yeah
Atari 11.13.12	omg lol these are just the traditional mario games where mario has to rescue princess peach no mario kart or mario baseball or mario super strikers or mario tennis heheheh too many mario's!
Trebor. 11.13.12	Goldeneye paved the way for the modern shooter agreed
mvood 11.13.12	I would say that was more Quake but Goldeneye is still important nevertheless
Shogun 11.13.12	Interesting list, difficult one this. Sunshine is excellent and I would love to see a sequel in the future, not sure its the 2nd best Mario game though. My top three are 64, SMW and Yoshi's Island
evilford 11.13.12	overall half-life is the most significant FPS of all time imo for console gaming only, Goldeneye kills everything else
Atari 11.13.12	@Shogun, yeah yoshi's island rules. @Sonic, how so lol
evilford 11.13.12	atari, tell me you have played half-life, gta: san andreas and goldeneye!!
Atari 11.13.12	nope just goldeneye lol
evilford 11.13.12	dude
Atari 11.13.12	wasn't half life on the computer?
mvood 11.13.12	vice city is better than san andreas, just sayin
Atari 11.13.12	@ford, all i know is i fucking love red dead redemption. it's the makers of the grand theft auto series but a western. there's bears and shit you can shoot all kinds of stuff
Calc 11.13.12	atari are you a video game newb?
evilford 11.13.12	yes half life was a pc game actually I've never played red dead redemption but I have a buddy who loves it
tommygun 11.13.12	The NES Mario games are horribly overrated idgaf about influence it doesn't make them fun for me. All the 3D ones rule especially Sunshine. Super Mario RPG and the first two Paper Mario games are also incredible.
Atari 11.13.12	@Calc, why because i haven't played half life? no i'm obsessed with video games.
Atari 11.13.12	just never really got into PC games
Calc 11.13.12	"The NES Mario games are horribly overrated idgaf about influence it doesn't make them fun for me." how old are you? or how long have you been playing video games?
mikeg1992 11.13.12	I'm sorry, but I still have my N64. Go back and play Goldeneye and try to tell me that that game is still fun. It isn't. Sure it was revolutionary, but the controls are pretty terrible. SM64 is still a blast to do playthroughs of.
Calc 11.13.12	@atari no im just noticing things. prolly just me
AngelofDeath 11.13.12	Super Mario Bros. 3, Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario 64 are the best three Mario titles. This is irrefutable. Also, fail for leaving off SMRPG.
Atari 11.13.12	@Calc, hehe like what man?
4N4LB34D5 11.13.12	Nice list! I can agree with most of this, except for Super Mario RPG not being #1, obviously! The only change I would make is placing SMW and SMB3 in the top 3 along with Sunshine
Atari 11.13.12	thanks glad you liked it
undertakerpt 11.13.12	Zelda games > mario games (inc smash bros /party/kart games) > metroid games > final fantasy games > games by rareware (goldeneye 007/banjo kazooie/perfect dark/conkers bad fur day/timesplitters) > deus ex trilogy >games made by the rockstar company (gta/max payne/red dead/manhunt/l.a noire)> sonic games > tekken/soulblade/streets of rage/golden axe/mortal kombat/street fighter games > call of duty games > various rpg's like vandal hearts/alundra/suikoden/breath of fire/wild arms games > time crisis/house of the dead arcade machines > peggle/tetris/pong/breakout/space invaders games > pokemon gameboy games > crash bandicoot games > metal gear solid/snatcher games > god of war games > resident evil games > silent hill games > barbie horseriding
Atari 11.13.12	@undertaker, put call of duty behind barbie horseriding and we have an agreement!
evilford 11.13.12	perfect dark was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ecnalzen 11.13.12	Have you played Super Mario RPG, Atari?
undertakerpt 11.13.12	Good idea = games Bad idea = reality
Calc 11.13.12	right off the bat undertaker rare developed zero timesplitters games
Atari 11.13.12	@Ecnalzen, nope and i'm never gonna hear the end of it lol
Atari 11.13.12	who did do timesplitters? Timesplitters 2 rules
Ecnalzen 11.13.12	Ha ha, are you an RPG fan? If you are, that game deserves some of your time.
Atari 11.13.12	@Ecnalzen, not as much as some people but yes i like a good RPG. is it better than paper mario though? i found that game to be kind of boring/overrated.
tommygun 11.13.12	@Calc I'm 24 and grew up playing Nintendo systems. I've never enjoyed the NES Mario games. I liked the two on the SNES though.
undertakerpt 11.13.12	@calc members of the rare team when it disbanded went on to form the new radical team, who developed timesplitters my friend. you'll also find that dr.doak, a character featured in goldeneye 007 on the n64, was david doak, the president of rare, who went on to become president of new radical.
Atari 11.13.12	now i have to make a top PS3 list a top SNES list and an overall best of all time list ;)
Ecnalzen 11.13.12	I'd play Mario RPG over the first two Paper Marios. The Wii Paper Mario is pretty bitchin though, if you haven't tried it. Here's a video with some game play from Mario RPG. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjB46wQRDnM The music rules, as well.
Atari 11.13.12	yeah never tried the wii paper mario just the first one for the gamecube i think. and that's cool i'll check the link out after work ;D
Calc 11.14.12	so rare didnt make the game like i said? lol
undertakerpt 11.14.12	well, no, but i still see free radical or whatever they're called as rare at heart, come to think of it better add donkey kong to that list.
Ecnalzen 11.14.12	The first one was on the N64 (Paper Mario), then Gamecube (Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door) and the Wii (Super Paper Mario). They are all pretty fun, but the Wii one is pretty different than the other two, it has less RPG elements than the other two and has some really creative game play ideas.
4N4LB34D5 11.14.12	Super Mario RPG is light-years beyond Paper Mario in pretty much every aspect. It was made by fucking SQUARESOFT in their PRIME! It probably won't have the same impact on you as it would on someone playing it when it originally came out, but you should definitely enjoy it. Not to mention it has, in my opinion, the coolest cast of characters ever assembled in Mario/SNES history!
Apollo 11.14.12	I fucking love Mario
Atari 11.14.12	cool i think i'll just start with mario RPG. i just hope they have it available to download on my wii's virtual console. and yeah the one i played was thousand year door but never finished it.
Ecnalzen 11.14.12	It's on the virtual console, I bought it since I don't have my Super Nintendo anymore.
4N4LB34D5 11.14.12	Ooooohhh yeah Super Paper Mario on the Wii is an awesome one as well
Atari 11.14.12	sweet!
Ecnalzen 11.14.12	The Wii Paper Mario is fantastic. The whole switching between 2D and 3D thing is pretty cool.
undertakerpt 11.14.12	mario rpg was never released in the uk. being american has its advantages.
tommygun 11.14.12	didn't dig the wii paper mario they took out the sweet rpg elements of the first two and it suffered
Winrar 11.14.12	YES this list! Props for sunshine and NSMB which i really enjoyed playing with my mates. List is lacking the RPGs and Paper Mario N64 but they're not really platformers so w.e
Atari 11.14.12	Glad u liked it ;) I'm going to download Mario rpg SNES on my wii
PistolPete 11.14.12	fucking love super mario sunshine, first game i ever played on my new gamecube as a kid very nostalgic) you forgot Paper Mario though! Thousand Year Door is another great game
Winrar 11.14.12	Yeah you won't regret it, that game kicks ass.
Cygnatti 11.14.12	this is list is sooooo wrong atari. needs the mario rpg games but that would make ranking even harder new super mario bros wii was tough as fuck but that was part of the reason why it was so fun. it wasn't so bad for me because I have a twin to dual play with all the time.
Atari 11.14.12	@chipmunk. I said in the description that this DOESN'T include the mario RPG games :P. aside from that why is this ranking so wrong? I love the new super mario bros. game too.... this was a really hard list to make. :3
demigod! 11.14.12	Galaxies are soo much better than Sunshine and 64 man. I get nostalgia but they're just better games. also yea, Paper Mario Wii was so boring and lame.
Scoot 11.14.12	mario party: destroying friendships since 1998
Winrar 11.14.12	Mario Party was my fucking childhood. Yeah, alot of the mario games kicked ass but Mario Party was THE fucking game that brought the definitive multiplayer experience. 4 players sitting on the floor looking at a tiny as fuck TV, killing each other in minigames and shafting the winning player has got to be one of the reasons i got into gaming. Mario Party was fucking great, unless you have 5+ people over :D
Atari 11.14.12	Shit ha the Mario party games rocked too especially the ones for 64
demigod! 11.14.12	I remember spending so much time playing Mario Party once as a kid that I forgot to go to the bathroom and ended up unknowingly peeing on my seat. Mario Party: Destroying furniture since 1998
Masochist 11.14.12	@Scoot: http://static1.fjcdn.com/comments/4167955+_397cd9463c682c3bbca982f119541640.jpg
demigod! 11.14.12	yep
Keyblade 11.14.12	Mario Party 3 was the shit. I remember paying almost 100 bucks for that motherfucker over 10 years ago. Still fun.
tommygun 11.14.12	Got a blister on my palm from the "spin the stick" mini games in Mario Party it ruled. Kept spinning anyway m/
tommygun 11.14.12	It fucking ruined the controllers though.
Winrar 11.14.12	spin the stick games always fucking ruin the controller.
Shogun 11.14.12	Anybody getting the Wii U then? Im not a fan of the NSMB series but the fact that the new one is taking cues from SMW is certainly pleasing.
mikeg1992 11.14.12	Mario Party makes a great drinking game
Atari 11.14.12	it's fun sober too :P mario party rules but sadly it's hard to find people to play it with these days (same with super smash bros.) that's what happens when you get old and most your friends are married with kids lol
eleventhsun 11.14.12	For me it's Mario world for SNES, Mario 3, then Mario 64
Atari 11.14.12	@Captain, me too I'm getting married on July 13th
evilford 11.14.12	I'm there right now take my advice enjoy being single and child-less while you can, hard
Atari 11.14.12	@Ford, I'll try to enjoy my last 8 months of freedom lol although we've lived together for 5 years anyways.
menawati 11.14.12	"I'm there right now take my advice enjoy being single and child-less while you can, hard" [2]
OmairSh 11.14.12	No album art
eleventhsun 11.14.12	Me and my girl have lived together for 7 going on 8 years. Never getting married or having kids. Both mutually agree on it.
OmairSh 11.14.12	"I'm getting married on July 13th" Congrats Atari
OmairSh 11.14.12	More married people on sput than I thought.
OmairSh 11.14.12	To the internet?
Atari 11.14.12	@Omair, heh thanks man
evilford 11.14.12	lol congrats btw
Atari 11.14.12	thanks ford
evilford 11.14.12	I'm not trying to make it sound lame ;] just saying there will prob come a time when you'll realize you have certain freedoms now that you take for granted. I know I did. grass is always greener kind of thing. but if you're happy then it's all good.
Atari 11.14.12	i know what you mean. won't be losing much freedom when i get married since i already live with her, but once the first kid plops out i won't be able to do as much petty shit (like spending so much time on this site)
