A very cool article on IGN...
http://retro.ign.com/articles/954/954165p1.html
The question could be ask. I don't think there is a bad Mario in the official series (don't say Mario time machine which is not officaly a Mario in the main series... do we understand ?) but at least we could tell our preferences. Personnaly, I think Mario Sunshine was not so great for a Mario game but it wasn't bad at all.
In the main canon, Mario 2 wasn't so hot in retrospect, but it could be argued that it isn't a real Mario game since the foundation of it was lifted from an entirely different nes game. (Arabian Nights or something by that line)
In answer to the question and keeping with the article's demand of no off-shoot games, I personally have always considered SMBL 2 - 6 Golden Coins to be something of a bastard child/game. To me the way Mario Jumps is waaay to spacey and I beat the game in one sitting first time through, I was just waiting for it to get bettter and it never did.
so, that's my two cents.

I'd go to argue that none of the spin offs are bad either.
Sure they aren't amazing, but they aren't bad games at all.

yeah it was originally supposed to be based off a manga, that got canned. It's why all the baddies are completely different even Wart! than the Mushroom Kingdom familiars. What tickles me is that, Nintendo knew there would be fan backlash, so in Nippon (japan) they called it Super Mario USA. /LOL

Super Mario USA?? Lol, oh Japan what wackiness will you incite next?
To be honest, I don't even think I've ever played a game FEATURING Mario that wasn't fun for at least a little while. Not including offshoots, I'd say Mario 2 is the 'least awesome' main series game, while Mario Baseball on Gamecube didn't hold my interest for too, too long.
I like all the Mario Party games.
no there isn't, there are some mario games that i didn't like, but it's not because they were bad games, they just didn't fit my interests.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
