2D - Easily goes to Super Mario Bros. 3 (Or Super Mario All-Stars if the compilation counts)
3D - Hard choice but in the end I have to choose Super Mario Galaxy. Super Mario 64 created a new genre and is still one of the best playing 3D games ever made. Galaxy is a masterpiece but Mario 64 is not too far behind.

It's pretty easy to pick out the people on the forum that started thier gaming with a Playstation and never played through any of the Mario games.

Little Big Planet is fun, creating levels is a great thing, but the core game itself comes nowhere near the excellence of Super Mario Bros. 3 or even Super Mario World. Crash 3 was also a great game, one I played the heck out of, but again doesn't hold a candle to Super Mario 64. I would put Crash 3 behind Mario Sunshine.
