We go from the finest 3D platformer ever created up to that point to the best and my favourite 2D platformer of all time (who knew they'd both be Mario games). It's been a long time since I last played the original, but I did re-buy it on the GBA, and that slightly more recent play through probably helped it climb a few places in this list. Being a European, SMB2 came in the form of the re-skinned Doki Doki Panic, as it did in America, so SMB3 was the 'real' sequel to the original SMB, but it was well worth that extra waiting time. Everyone knows what the 2D Mario games are about, but that doesn't stop this from being a true masterpiece. |

As you can probably tell by the screenshot above, this game is absolute insanity. Flying Italians dressed up as raccoons, giant walking mushrooms, turtles trying to kill you with boomerangs are just the icing on this wonderfully weird cake. How many other games can you name, that had an entire movie made to promote it's release? Yeah. That's what I thought. If you have an NES, GBA, Wii or anything that you can play this game on, you have to have this game. If you've never experienced this bliss, I pity you. And your children. |
Since pretty much everyone's favorite world was the Giant World, I'll instead ask: what was your favorite power-up? Mine was the Hammer Bro Suit. Finally allowed me to kill those God-damn Thwomps. >:D
