Worst: Mario Bros. Genericness killed it.
Actually, the original arcade version (and Atari 8-bit) was pretty cool: The letters in Mario Bros. start out upside-down, and the bros. run out and punch them from below, flipping them back to normal.

They did that on all the Super Mario Advance games, too.  But I still think there are better title screens out there.

Best: Super Mario World, because it actually had action on it. The screens most people are thinking of are either the demo movies that play after the title screen (Mario Kart Wii) or the file select screen (Mario Sunshine).

Worst: hmm.. For console games, it's a toss up between Mario Kart Wii (mabey the development team spent too much time visiting YTMND) and SMB2 (curtain background with characters on it that don't move! Exciting!). If I have to choose just one, then Mario Kart Wii, because I was too young to care what the SMB2 title screen looked like.
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??

Ah, the only tie is for the Worst. And that's Mario Kart Wii, surely.

Yeah, MKWii for sure (I can cut Mario Bros. some slack for basically being the first Mario game).

Best: Super Mario 64, for the sheer thrill of stretching Mario's face.

Worst: Mario Bros., not really all that great.

It's interesting, really... the first and most recent Mario games are tying for worst title screen.

Super Mario 64 has the best title screen because you can mess around with Mario's head.

I vote (too late?) for Super Mario All Stars, because after it you can choose a game and see another title screen, then you play...
Sorry... I think there was something weird in my tacos...
Don't use real life to avoid videogames, it is not healthy to escape from problems.

Super Mario 64 is definitely the best obviously because you can distort Mario's head.

The worst is Super Mario Bros. cause it was just a frozen screen.
Probably likes Sonic games better than anyone else on the fungi forums.

No it wasn't. If you wait a bit, he takes off and gets killed by a Goomba. It spoils the game's bad ending but whatever.

You forgot the version where he actually doesn't get killed.
That was a joke.
