#9 - Super Mario Bros. 3 comes out on top as the best main-line 2D Mario game ever created. It's gameplay is the pinnacle of perfection. Jumping precision has never been better. Graphically the game pushes the NES to it's limits, right into early 16-bit territory. One can really see the love for this game the developers had when making it, fantastic, imaginative levels and creative items and power-ups are all more than well represented in this game. Personally, I was always weary of sequels. Still am. More often than not, the 'first' is the best. So it was in my early gaming career. Though I hadn't played this until a couple years after release (was 3 years old at the time of release), this game came along to remind me that sequels to good things can be good things!
#8 - Mario Kart 64 is the best racing game ever made. In fact, it is one of only two racing games to make it into the top 50. And this one even reaches the top 10! For a genre I usually do not really care for, Mario Kart has always been a solid choice. The Nintendo 64 entry however, is the greatest of the seven. The games are all dependent on their individual tracks, and this is where Mario Kart 64 beats the others. It has too many classic tracks that remain being good. The most balanced roster of items completes that. Mario Kart 64 is probably my most played multiplayer console game. It is at it's best when playing with friends and family. The quality as I described it, and the high nostalgia I feel towards this game and to it in the context of playing it with a particular family-member ensure this game will forever have a place with me. It reminds me that friends and family (which I don't have a lot of anymore) are the most important things to have.
