My least favourite is 64... I really can't choose between Galaxy and Galaxy 2, Galaxy 2 is a better game, yet i have to admit that galaxy fascinated me more since 2 felt like an amazing sequel. In terms personal favourites:

1. Galaxy 2
2. 3D Land (What an amazing game, best 3D boss fight by far)
3. Galaxy
4. Sunshine (love the game, but Galaxy and 3D Land have a better formula)
5. 64 (never gotten into it in the N64, played the DS version and it was good but not great)

 

Edit: Scratch that, Switch Galaxy 2 with Galaxy, I don't know what I was thinking. Galaxy 2 is just far superior! and Galaxy doesn't get second only because 3D Land is original and game of its own. Putting the galaxies first and second doesnt feel right. Anyways Mario is in great form right now! Can't wait for NSMB 3DS :)

This is all that needs to be said.  

Galaxy 2 was awesome, Galaxy was a hell of an idea with great level design. 

Hated mario 64 and Mario sunshine.  Mario 64 was alright on its own but I hated what it did to the genre (3d platformers became fetch quests).  Mario Sunshine was alright but accentuated everything I didn't like about 64 and I found it confusing for some reason.  

Mario 3D land I'm still in the air about...I played through the whole thing and was rather disappointed/underwhelmed, only to hear that's apparently only half the game, and the best half is yet to be played.  haven't returned to it as I'm too busy with Ocarina of time 3D and Mario Kart 7. 


Wait what do you mean you played through the whole thing but it was only half o.O?

Well, I played through all 8 worlds, beat the game, beat bowser, got to the end credits, and when I complained the game was too short to the VGchartz crew, they informed me that there's another set of levels.  Appparently, once you beat the game you get a second set of levels.  Same world design, different level design, and the second set is apparently much harder.  

I can't clarify this but that's what I'm told.  Beating the game just unlocks more levels. 


Oh so its similar to the green stars in Super Mario Galaxy 2 or the inverse colored level design in Super Mario World (except for difficulty).

Hey at least it doesnt blatantly tell you to go try a harder mode like in Super Mario Bros....

It is like the commet stars, and also some other worlds are remixed. You actually get 8 new worlds! It doesn't feel monotonous. I can actually say 3D Land is one hell of a game! And for it to edge Galaxy on my list is one hell of a feat.






1. super mario 3d land - i have to put this first right now. maybe its because it just came out, so i need some time to pass before i can really rank it against the others. but what i will say for this game is that it is so original. its like no other mario game i have ever played before. plus its in effin 3d, that really is the coolest part. i also went through every level and tried to beat it as fast as possible, because when you street pass your friends, your times get sent. this game is absolutely amazing. i have never been addicted to a mario game like i have this one. there is not a single negative about this game, and if there is one, i would like to hear it. (actually i just thought of this one as i was writing about galaxy 2. they could have made an overworld map similar to mario 3 or super mario world. becaus that was awesome. the linearity of it is a negative.)

2. super mario galaxy 2 - i have to admit i was not impressed with the first galaxy. when this game came out, it was my absolute favorite mario. i like the concept in galaxy, but this expanded on it in every conceivable way. plus, i love the map aspect like in super mario bros 3 and super mario world. that made this game so much better. plus the extra 120 stars. galaxy 1 cannot compete with this. in fact, no game can compete with this. except 3d land.

3. super mario 64 - honestly, this game probably should be number one. it has to be, right? why is it not number one. i dont know. there is nothing to say about this game. it speaks for itself. this game is number one.

4. sunshine - i actually thought fludd was awesome. added an extra element to platforming like yoshi's flutter in super mario world 2. i love things like that. or like how in dkc, you can roll of the edge and jump in mid air. or any game that has a mid-air jump. i just love things like that, so i really enjoyed the extra platforming element brought to us by fludd. this game is underrated. or is it? i hope this game gets enough love.

5. galaxy - i dunno. it was cool. why dont i like this game? i beat it with both mario and luigi, and got 9999 star bits with both. so i have played it enough to know how i feel about it. and im disappointed i feel this way :(. i really dont like the central space hub. its pretty annoying. the level design is awesome, but that goes for all the games. galaxy does have better level design than sunshine and 64 i will admit but.. i dont know. what am i missing, guys?
