BEST: Yeah, gotta go with SMG.  Honorable mention obviously goes to SM64 and SMW.

WORST: I can't think of a Mario console game I didn't like.  The one I liked the least is SMB2 (the one they gave the US).

Best: Super Mario 64, since SMAS doesn't count. Sorry, SMW and all your other awesome old-school counterparts.

Worst: SMB2 would be close, but the SMAS version saved its reputation for me; plus the music is beyond compare.  Discounting obvious misses (MiM, M&W, MTM), Super Mario Sunshine gets my "worst" vote. There's a reason It's made the "worsts" list over five times in these competitions.
If she is indeed genetically mutated such that she has an eye in the back of her head, then I guess that she is genetically mutated and has an eye in the back of her head.

I thought that reason mostly had to do with the Piantas an BJ.

Best: SM64. Just can't beat that thrill of the first 3D Mario game.

Worst: SMB2, if only because they ripped off another game to make it (not that I'm cutting SMB2J any slack--that game is adamantium-hard).

Best is definately super mario bros. 3

worst...since I can't do remakes, it would have to be Super Mario Sunshine (otherwise it woulda been a tossup between that and super mario advance).  regardless if you enjoyed it, you can't deny it was a really lazy mario game

Seeing as almost all the handheld games are remakes, this one is a question of "best game" under the conditions that your favorite is not Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, etc.

Best: World. At least that's my answer most of the time.

Worst: Sunshine.
All your dreeeeeeams begiiin to shatterrrrrr~
It's YOUR problem!

Why is SMB2 so hated? Was it really that bad? The music alone would have saved it from "worst" vote for me...

Best: Super Mario Galaxy. This game was a wonder to play.

Worst: Super Mario Sunshine. It's a good game, but compared to 64 and Galaxy...it really sucked. The NPCs are especially annoying.

MP5 was ruined by random minigames, but I still hate SMS more than any Mario Party title.

Best: 64 stands out to me right now.  Sorry, Galaxy, TTYD, and SMW

Worst:  I don't really play the sport/party spinoffs, so I have to go with Sunshine.  I like the game, don't get me wrong, but the NPCs were idiots, Bowser Jr., and Mario was practically defenseless without FLUDD.  Oh, and Bowser sounded like Cookie Monster.

I think SMAS maybe considered a remake. If not, my "best" vote's changing to it.
