(Um, what?)
Every time you beat a level in a Mario game, some kind of animation or scene appears. (Ex. Super Mario 64=Star Get!) or (Super Mario Bros. 3=Lucky Box/Black scene)

BEST: Galaxy, especially when Luigi gets a Grand Star and yells "STAAARRR!"

WORST: Mario is Missing. Luigi and Yoshi just go down a pipe.

Best: Could winning a battle in Super Mario RPG count? If not, then, Super Mario World.

Worst: I think I'll go with Super Mario Bros 2 (U.S.) as well--you beat a mini-boss at the end of almost every level, and there's no celebration!

Honorable mention: If New Super Mario Bros. had Mario do the peace sign and say "Oh yeah! Here we go!" or something half the time, it would win. I love how in Superstar Saga, the Mario Bros. pose with the move that did the finishing blow.

Nintendo games need more V-signs. Yoshi still does it in Super Smash Bros, but I was counting on Ness to do it as one of his taunts in reference to his pose for the magical Photoman. And Mario... I think he has multiple personality disorder.

Best: Super Mario 64. They need to bring back the pan-and-zoom-out!
Worst: Yeah, probably SMB2. The roulette adds some points, but it's just so... sudden.

Best: Super Paper Mario, I liked seeing the pixels dance.

Not sure for worst.

I vote for best Bowser/Fortress/Castle Music.

Oh and I suggest we change best level to Best First Level

Oh, yeah, SPM is definitely good too. The little tune that played was suitably triumphant (in a small way) and you got to experience that feeling of joy that the "End of Chapter" screen in PM and PM2 gave you... fourfold!

Best: Mario Kart 64. (If not, then SM64)
Worst: Super Princess Peach. When she goes "That was easy!" you want to punch her in the face because you spent like 20 minutes in that one level.

Best: Super Mario 64, although the timing of "Here we go!" was screwed up in SM64DS. Ah, memories... I also like Luigi's Mansion, but SM64 gets my vote.

Worst: Super Mario Land 2. Ooh. I rung a bell. Fun. There's not even a cool bird mask at the doorway.

BEST: SM64, definitely. The music, the pose, both are epically triumphant. It's the only success animation for me.

Worst: I'm not sure about this one, but I'll say SMS because it says "SHINE!" in big obtrusive letters, and Mario doesn't do anything that neat.

Let's see... SMG, SM64 are both good, but my vote for best goes to Super Mario World. The pixellated "peace out" trumps all.

Worst: SMB3. The whole card thing always seemed kind of weak to me.

Best - Super Mario 64
Worst - Super Mario Bros. 2 (US)

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #11 on:** June 02, 2008, 09:44:07 PM »

Eh.
Best: Galaxy, I guess.
Worst: No opinion.

I vote for best level (which I agree that you should change to best first level).

Kojinka · « **Reply #12 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:31:47 AM »

Best: SM64 or SMW. Peace Sign FTW. The song's were great as well. When the last note of the level success fanfare plays in SMW, you just can't help but strike the peace sign with Mario.

Worst: Don't know.

BP · « **Reply #13 on:** June 03, 2008, 12:38:33 AM »

I always do the peace sign with Yoshi, or hold my controller out as Ness holds out his bat, or laugh myself to death with Wario when I win in Brawl... against another person, that is. I'm not the kind of sad little loser who talks to himself when he plays video games.

Oh, and, I always hold X for Pikachu's sleeping animation, but I don't go to sleep myself. Ha ha ha.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #14 on:** June 04, 2008, 12:03:50 AM »

Best: Mario Kart 64. I imagined myself winning a race every day of my life when I was a kid and saying my catchphrase to the losers.

Worst: No opinion. The rest are all okay.
