BEST: Super Mario Galaxy

WORST: Dr. Mario

and out of those two, I vote SMW.

[Turtlekid1]

BEST: SMG.  It was epic, and let's face it; Rosalina and the Lumas FTW.

WORST: Mario Bros.  It doesn't really even have much of a storyline.

[Luigison]

Best:  M&L:SS
Worst:  SMG

NOMINATION:
Original Super Mario Bros Level

[ShadowBrain]

Wow, this is an interesting one.

Best: M&L (in my opinion, the platformers have nothing on the RPGs in terms of plot)
Worst: Um... SM64? (SMG's not far behind, though)

[BP]

Best: Superstar Saga was very creative.

Worst: Super Mario Bros. 2. The beginning talks about Mario dreaming, then finding something he found in his dream, which sounds promising. Then all that is abandoned and at the end, we find the whole thing was a dream. What.

[SushieBoy]

Best: Super Paper Mario. I was really captivated by the greatly written plot and it's twists.

Worst: I don't know.

And I vote for Best Original Mario Bros Level

[The Chef]

Best: Superstar Saga was very creative.

Worst: Super Mario Bros. 2. The beginning talks about Mario dreaming, then finding something he found in his dream, which sounds promising. Then all that is abandoned and at the end, we find the whole thing was a dream. What.

It's only alluded to. Sub-con could easily be physical world accessed by dreaming.

[Uvaz]

Best: Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. I think it had lots of potential, but It was extremely linear. Handled with care it would have been a mario Chrono Trigger! :o (Actually I haven't played much of Chrono Trigger, but I remember it had to do with time traveling and it is extremely hyped so yeah)

Worst: Not counting games that barely have a story, I would say Mario Party. I mean Toad just comes and says "Hey you should beat each other up lol" and they obey!

[PaperLuigi]

Best: PM: TTYD. This one kept me interested for the entire game, even when the action got repetitive.

Worst: Mario Party 6. The sun and the moon are fighting over who's better, and then Mario suggests that they have a party in order to settle the feud. [wtd]? How is that supposed to stop their fighting? Better yet, if the sun and the moon are fighting, why are they seen cooperating during the game? This game was the worst Mario Party and it had the worst plot, too.

[DrFurball]

BEST: Super Mario Land Trilogy
-Mario leaves his castle to go to Sarasaland to rescue Princess Daisy from Tatanga.  When he's finished, he comes back to his castle to see that Wario had hired Tatanga to kidnap Daisy as a distraction so he could take over Mario castle.  Wario gets kicked out, then plots to retrieve the golden Peach statue that Captain Syrup stole, along the way collecting as much cash as he can.
WORST: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
-Bowser kidnaps Peach again and takes her back to his castle.

[CrossEyed7]

BEST: Paper Mario. Simplistic, but epic.

WORST: Mario Party 6. First time a game's plot made me facepalm within the first thirty seconds.

[PaperLuigi]

^
Same here. "Brighton and Twila, the sun and the moon, have always hosted the party." [wtd]? No they haven't! I guess Hudson sort of forgot about all the previous Mario Parties and how Toad was usually the host.

[The Chef]

Have you played MP4 and/or 5? Those games' plots are worse than MP6's. Fo realz, yo.

[Reading]

I actually thought MP6 had a decent story compared to some of the others as well-of course, plot really isn't important in any of the Mario Party games so far, but the sun and the moon was an interesting and original concept for a Mario game. It just could've been done a lot better than it was. A lot better...

BEST: Super Paper Mario. I don't know why this game hasn't gotten more votes, even though the voting has just started. I mean, seriously. How could the original PM's plot possibly be better than SPM? O_O (Not insulting CrossEyed7, mind you) Maybe it's just because I actually consider a plot to be an important element in a game...

WORST: New Super Mario Bros. No explanation needed.

I also vote for best original SMB level.
