Totally respect your thread and your rules, but I just don't get the "only one game per franchise" condition, other than to embrace variety. It reminds me of IGN's top 100 list a few weeks back...

I just can't make an honest list of what I feel are the best games of the '90s without including both Zelda: ALttP and Zelda: OoT, and Super Mario World, SMW2 and Super Mario 64.

Zelda is an issue, but the three games starring Mario are of three different series.

I get what you're saying and I don't totally disagree (even considered that point myself), but Yoshi's Island for SNES is still "Super Mario World 2" and they're all still widely regarded as Mario's platform evolution.  The fact that they vary so much from each other in gameplay is just one thing I find appealing about them.  I mean, Zelda 1 is vastly different from Zelda 2, but they're both still "The Legend of Zelda".
