I think SMB 3 and Mario 64 are atop my throne.
SMB is also great fun, but just too simple.

Super Mario 64 DS is missing, plus Yoshi's Island is technically SMW2.
Also you forgot the terrible 2D Mario games.

Missing? No.

Super Mario 64 DS is a revised port of Super Mario 64.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, is a Yoshi game, not a Mario game.

Terrible 2D Mario games? There's only one. That's Super Mario Bros. 2. Why? Because it's not Super Mario Bros. 2. That's why.

That's all you mentioned... But these games don't count either:

Super Mario Advance: Revised port of a Mario game, that is not a Mario game.

Super Mario Advance 2: Revised port.

Super Mario Advance 3: Revised port of a Yoshi game.

Super Mario Advance 4: Revised port.

Super Paper Mario: Belongs in the Paper Mario Universe.

Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land: It's a Wario game, not a Mario game.

Luigi's Mansion: A Luigi game, not a Mario game. Blame Wikipedia for me adding this game. It said that this game is a part of the Mario platform genre. So wrong...

Super Mario All-Stars: A compilation of revised ports, plus one non-Mario game.

So there are really only 10 true Mario games...

2d! You can't go wrong with Mario 2, 3, World, NSMB and Land 2

Mario 2: Japan, or Mario 2: USA?

Man... I really dislike Super Mario Bros. 2 USA... It's a lie. It's nothing but a lie...

If you took SMB3 off that list, it would be a tie. SMB3 > everything.

And SMB2 USA is awesome. It's got Birdo, Mouser, shy guys, flying carpets, and you can pick a rocketship out of the ground as if it were a delicious vegetable.

I used to like 2D more because of Super Mario World, but now I like 3D better because of Galaxy. Galaxy is amazing, only 4 more stars until Luigi.

Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

2D by far.

If a game is called Super Mario World 2, it's a mario game. Baby mario is in it anyway.

A lot of the best parts of Galaxy were really 2-d gameplay.

I like them all, but if I had to choose I would go with 2D. Although I love exploring the worlds in the 3D marios, the 2D ones have always seems a lot more fun for me. So 2D it is.

Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!
