Which game has the best story/ending? (I was disappointed by SMB3's ending today, btw)

What are you talking about? SMB3's ending is a classic! It's probably the best way they could have ended it. Personally, I love those kind of self-references and pseudo-breaking of the fourth wall.

Now, ironically enough, Galaxy (the best 3D Mario) might have the worst ending, in my opinion. It simply does not live up to the rest of the game's standards. During those climactic final minutes, Galaxy treats us to a red-herring of a villain "masterplan", several non-sequiturs and, to top it off, one of the worst cases of deus ex machina ever seen in a video game. Not even Sunshine was that bad!

I suppose it might have been done intentionally, as a parody, but either way it just pissed me off. And for that I say: Shame on you, Yoshiaki Koizumi.

I'm still more hyped for Galaxy 2 than NSMB Wii, though. I just didn't like the DS game very much.


Well I like the joke she makes, that bit of the ending is great. But the thing is, this is the ending, there's nothing more. She says byebye, you see a picture of each world, and the game is over. There aren't even credits!
Also, I think the final fight against Bowser is the worst in the series. It's just not epic waiting until he smashes himself through the floor...

My favourite ending and final battle is probably Super Mario World, especially because the battle has several stages. Mario 64 is absolutely epic though.

The endiung of Galaxy was really a bit cheesy, but that you can go to the castle after getting 241 stars and talking with the NPC's makes up for that I think.
