Super Mario 64.
-
Super Mario Bros. DX had a mode in which Mario raced a ghost to the flag pole.
I assume you aren't counting any of the Mario Kart games.
-
If you do accept votes for any Mario Kart games, my vote goes to MKDS for the Missions mode, as it had some good ideas that were executed well for being just a fantasy racing game.
Hoo.. But I digress.. It's hard to say what Mario game really had the best races outside of the SMK series..
Luigison is right, SMBDX has a mode in which Mario races a ghost to the flagpole, so I guess that would work.
New SMB's two player mode has the Bros racing to collect Stars (as in Power Stars), so I like that one a lot.
Mario RPG has the race against Boshi..
Are we allowed to make multiple votes? I'm having a hard time picking just one again.. XD
-
Even though I like Sunshine better than 64 and galaxy, I really liked galaxy's races
so I vote ga...
Edit: after playing sunshine again i realized how cool ll piantissimo is and his races
-
I'm voting SM64 for Koopa the Quick.
-
I very much enjoyed the 2D races in Galaxy, but didn't like some of the pull star or swimming races as much as the SM64 race against Koopa the Quick. Overall I think Galaxy has better racing, but SM64 is more memorable. I can't decide between the two at the moment.
-
Boos, and not Boo's, because the apostrophe does not belong when the word is not possessive, are always cute!
Not in Sunshine. Boos on booze!
The Thousand-Year Door had some sweet races. There's that snail-koopa hybrid, Ishnail, and there's Screamy (what WAS that guy), it brought back the Doogans that were introduced in Paper Mario, and those big rat guys... there were only two of 'em. It also gave a name to that race of small, mouser-like beings, the Squeeks. So there's my vote. :D
Fine... Galaxy. The pull stars are cool.

LOL/QFT
Luigison is right, SMBDX has a mode in which Mario races a ghost to the flagpole, so I guess that would work.
A sorely missed way to add replay value to NSMB (actually, SMBDX had a lot of cool new stuff in it--even by modern standards for a remake--but I only ever played other people's copies).
Best races? Umm... I wanna say SM64. Few races, frustrating Penguin ones, but good nonetheless in retrospect.
-
SM64... the races (especially the Boo races) in Galaxy were more annoying than fun.
Oh, and:
Best bowser/fortress/castle music
-
I'm going to go for Mairo 64, with the Penguin races down the Ice Slide. The penguin(s) were cute and the slide was a pretty good use of three-dimensional stage design back in the day. I mean, those curves!
-
Mario RPG, for Booster Hill.
-
I'm gonna have to again vote for Super Mario RPG. By the way, two more races in that game were the Moleville cart ride and... I guess... when you're scaling the cliff at Land's End (hey, that's a timed event). Of the races in SMRPG, racing Boshi is my favorite since you tap two buttons in rhythm to the music. Booster Hill does seem to have a reputation though...
-
Ooh, I forgot about the mine cart. Change my vote to a super-vote!
-
Super Mario Sunshine
because Il Piantissimo is the man!
(the mailman, nyuck nyuck nyuck *wink*)

-
I like the Space Rabbit chases from Galaxy, if those count. Plus I like the Time races in Yoshi's Story where you have to get the finish line to get the melons.
So....
Galaxy (1)
Yoshi's Story (1)
-
The results are in! (Exciting)
Super Mario Galaxy (2.50)
Super Mario 64 (5)
Super Mario Sunshine (2)
Super Mario RPG (3)
Yoshi's Story (.50)
And nominee results (as of now):
Best bowser/fortress/castle music (2)
Best Mario Sports game (1)
Does anyone think the Mario Board would be too crowded if I added a Worst in Series Topic? I'm considering at the moment, for a request.
-
Why not just do both about the same thing at the same time, in the same threads?
-
I have a nomination for a category, Bird Person. Best Non-Bowser Villain. I bet that would invoke some interesting discussions.
