Best: Super Mario World vs. Yoshi's Island... Hard choice... I love both... for decidedly different reasons... But I hate it when people try to put in half-votes... so I'll vote for Yoshi's Island. But it's really just the mood I'm in.

Worst: I don't especially like Super Mario Land. It has good tunes but that's all there is.

Best:  SMW.  It was my first Mario game and it introduced Yoshi.

Man best is so hard because most of the great Mario games are 2-D.

Best: I feel the same dilemma from which Bird Person suffers, except I'm torn between SMW, Yoshi's Island and SMB3. I'd have to go and say SMW, just because it's so much more in depth and harder to complete and what not, but SMB3 and Yoshi's island are both AWESOME.

Worst: Does Super Paper Mario count at all? If so, it's my #1 vote. If SPM doesn't apply for this poll, I think I'd have to say SMB2j. While it was fun, it did nothing new except make things harder. It doesn't seem as much as a standalone game as it does an expansion of the first SMB. An unnecessarily difficult expansion at that. Keep in mind though, it's still an alright game. If SMB2j isn't acceptable, then I'd have to say NSMB--although it's still good. It's just kind of a letdown, given that it has no awesome power-ups outside of the classic Mushroom and Fire Flower. I know it's supposed to be New Super Mario Bros., but would it have killed them to include the tanooki feather? NSMW would have been even better because there would be Yoshi riding.

Best: Yoshi's Island, but if that leans too much towards Yoshi games then I'd say SMW.
Worst: Dang... NSMB isn't bad, but it's certainly the least good.

Does Super Paper Mario count at all?

Best: I'm not sure if it counts because it's 3D at the same time, but if it does, make it my vote for best 2D game because it is also an RPG with Side-quests, Level Ups, Experience Points, Items, etc. If it doesn't count, then I choose Super Mario World because it has a creative map screen, fun, interactive levels, and great secrets (expect to see videos of Super Mario World in the next few months).

Worst: I'd have to say Super Mario Bros. 2(J) for the same reasons as Solid Shroom.

The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

NSMB is less good than... Super Mario Land? SML2? I think not.
That was a joke.

New SMB is great! It's the first sidescrolling Mario game since Super Mario Land 2!

Best: I'd probably have to say SMB3. It expanded on the power up ideas in the first game in a creative and fun way, the maps are fun to explore, and I like the idea of carrying around power ups (up to 28!) I could play this game for hours and never get tired of it. :D

Worst: Mario Teaches Typing.. No, wait: Mario's Early Years. Er.. Ok, so I can't decide.

Nominee: Sports game
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

The Super Mario Lands have better music than NSMB, and although they're short, I still think they're a lot of fun--moreso than NSMB.

BEST: SMW.  Still one of the best side-scrolling platformers I've ever played, never mind one of the best 2D Mario games.  The map system, power-ups (Cape Feather FTW), and sheer number of levels made this game awesome.

Worst: Dang... NSMB isn't bad, but it's certainly the least good.

Best: I want to say SMW, since that's the one I've logged the most hours on and had the most fun with, but I love SMB3 and YI just as much for different reasons...gah. I'm going with SMW on this one, just because I'd be hard-pressed to find a moment in the game I didn't have fun playing through.

Worst: I can't believe you people are forgetting YIDS...but if that doesn't count for this poll due to being more of a Yoshi game, then I don't have a vote.

Worst: SMB2J

My vote goes to best sports game.

What's so bad about Yoshi's Island DS? I thought that was outstanding.

Best: Yoshi's Island, without question. Huge levels, lots of secrets, has Yoshi, good soundtrack.

Worst: Probably SMB2 American (the Mario version of Doki Doki Panic). Yeah, original and all that, but I didn't like the game much. Couldn't get far in it. And it obviously wasn't a normal Mario game. I did like Birdo though.
You didn't say wot wot.
