#25 - Kingdom Hearts

This game is such a magic experience, filled with tons of charm and memorable moments, I just love the interactions between the main cast and the different Disney characters (many of whom I grew up with), and I really like the relative simplicity of the plot compared with its successors. The worlds are not that big, but many of them have certain non-linearity to them and are not plain corridors like the ones in most subsequent games before KH3. The combat can feel kind of clunky but I personally still enjoy it. Also, Ms. Shimomura truly killed it with the OST.

#24 - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

The Thousand-Year Door is my favorite Mario RPG, it's just a wonderful experience with so many charming characters, memorable moments, and excellent humor. I love that the story of this game, as well as the different locations you visit during your adventure, deviate so much from the typical stuff you see in Mario games. The battle system in TTYD is amazing, and is a great evolution of the Action-Command-based combat that the first game uses. Another thing that I really like about this game are the different paper-based transformations that Mario can use to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.

#23 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds

I love the freedom of exploration that this game gives you from the beginning, and how you can clear the different dungeons in any order you want (I personally didn't mind the item renting system). The overworld is just so very well made, exploring it always feels rewarding because you'll always be finding secrets such as mini-caves, some of which even have their own mini-puzzles, and the game makes good use of the wall-merging mechanic for exploration. Similarly to ALTTP, ALBW is a very well paced experience.

#22 - The World Ends With You

I love this game's setting and its plot, which has lots of secrets to be unfolded, so you'll always be wanting to know what will happen next. Overall, the story in this game is very well paced. Another important aspect of the plot is the character development of the protagonist Neku, which is very well executed, I really like to see how his interactions with other characters change over time. The battle system in TWEWY is pretty unique and makes good use of DS' touch screen to execute different combos, I definitely really enjoyed it.

#21 - Metroid Prime

This game is such an immersive experience with a mysterious and lonely atmosphere that I really like. The level design in Metroid Prime is simply top-notch, I love how everything is interconnected, as well as the kind of progression it has where you are able to reach areas you couldn't before as you get more of Samus' gadgets, such as the Grapple Beam. Another one of my favorite aspects about this game is the subtle way it tells its story, as you get to know more about what happened in planet Talon IV as you explore more and use your scanner, rather than having cutscenes with lots of exposition.
