Super Mario Sunshine vs Super Mario 3D World

[HyrulianScrolls]

I'd put the Mario games into these 5 tiers (not including Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land or Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island since those are really spin offs despite the names):

Masterpieces:
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario 64

Near Perfect:
Super Mario World
Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario Bros 3

Great:
New Super Mario Bros Wii
New Super Mario Bros U
Super Mario 3D Land
Super Mario Bros

Good:
New Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

Decent, but not quite up to Mario standards:
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Bros 2 (US version)
Super Mario Bros 2 (Japanese version)
New Super Mario Bros 2

None of them are "bad" though.
