1. New SMB Wii - best levels, best bosses, penguin suit, co-op, everything good from all the other games
2. SMB3 - frog suit, tanuki suit, flight, World 4, World 5, World 7, airships, first world map, great ending
3. SMWorld - Yoshi, best world map ever, ghost houses, Star Road, Special World, switch palaces, colored Yoshis
4. SMB1 - your princess is in another castle, perfect game, changed the world
5. SMB2 USA - multiple characters, POW, Shy Guys, Bob Ombs, Wart, flying carpets, magic potions, and you can pick a rocketship plant out of the ground, great ending credits and music
6. Super Mario Land - you get a plane and a submarine, you go through Egypt, amazing music
7. New SMB - great game, but too easy, great mini-games, vs. mode, mega mushroom
8. SMB2 The Lost Levels - great game, but too similar to SMB1, basically a nightmare mode for SMB1, still amazing though

Swap Land for 2 and NSMB (DS) with Lost Levels and you've pretty much got my list, and for roughly the same reason.

Anyways, if this game is really in the same league as SMB 3 and SMW, I'll probably spend the whole weekend playing it. I still think they shouldn't have made it look so similar to the DS game in terms of artwork, title etc. but from a sales perspective, everything else would have been foolish.

 The game's graphics and artstyle are actually much better than I thought they'd be. They don't go for the "wow!" effect, but if you pay attention to the details and background (especially after the first world) you'll find the art is rich and varied, but never distracting. It's grown on me immensely.

Why does everyone rank SMB2 (US version) so low? I really enjoyed it and played it much more than SMB1.

Because its not a real Mario game. >_>

 

I know it was a side game in Japan, and Lost Levels = SMB2 there. How isn't it a real mario game?

 An argument can be made that it's not only a reskinned version of another game, but the mechanics are radically different from those of other Mario games. You simply can't play them in the same manner.

That said, you can raise the same argument about Zelda II, and that IS a Zelda game.
