Which of these three Mario games is the best Mario game ever made?

Super Mario Bros. 3

Mario 3. Its my alltime fav

I only got into gaming in the SNES times
so I did not play SMB3 when it was "fresh".I have finished it though (the All Stars version). I thought that SMW was a better game (it was less linear).
Of the games you mentioned SM64 is my favourite.

BTW why does everybody think that SMB3 was the best?

TRM04 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 21, 2000, 11:36:13 AM »

It just always stood out to me as the best. The original version of course. I don't like the allstars version as much. But the game had lots of stages,new items,many secrets, and just the whole works. Besides it really showed what the nes could do. And i like it just a little more then Super Mario World which is my second fav mario game. But mario 3 was always and always will be my favorite mario bros game.

SMB3 was the best until Super Mario World came out... :)

TRM04 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 21, 2000, 12:53:57 PM »

Come on man. Super Mario Bros 3 is the greatest of all time. World is just missing somthing just can't oput a finger to it tho

Altern · « **Reply #11 on:** June 21, 2000, 03:26:34 PM »

Yeah Deezer, SMB3 was my favorite and will always be :)
SMW is a great game! but it is my second favorite.

Deezer · « **Reply #12 on:** June 21, 2000, 03:41:32 PM »

TRM: Compared to SMB3, Super Mario World is missing a lot... of power-ups. If it had the Hammer Suit, it would be perfect...
It's just that I liked being able to go back and play levels I'd already beaten. And the whole Yoshi thing was pretty cool too. :)

It seemed to me that the "Mario" games were getting better and better and then "Super Mario Bros. 3" was the best but it would get better. At first I saw "Super Mario World" (or "Super Mario Bros. 4" whatever you want to call it) as better than 3, but after playing them both in the same day at a friend's house I decided "3" was better. My concept of progressively better "Mario" games was completely destroyed when I bought "Yoshi's Island" (or "Super Mario Bros. 5" or "Super Mario World 2" dang this is confusing). "M4" was certainly a revolution, but threw out too many of the elements from "M3" to be superior. I have a certain conception of "Mario" mechanics that is present in "M1" "Lost Levels," "M3," and "M4" and the first two (the only ones I've played) "Mario Land" games but not in "M2," "M5," or "M64". That makes "Mario," and the games that have radically different mechanics are not as good. I hope "Paper Mario" has the "Mario" mechanics we know and love.

SMB DX.
I've been hoping for SMB3 DX but it dosen't look like it will come anytime soon.

I see all, hear all, and know all. (At least about SMB DX.)

Yoshi2 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 21, 2000, 05:46:55 PM »

It seems there is some question over SMB3 and SMW. Well, truthfully, I like them both(Ok, so I like SMB3 better. So what?). SMB3 is great. It's packed with worlds, levels, settings, powerups, mini-games, bosses, graphics, replay value, and fun. SMW has all of those except for powerups, mini-games, and replay value. All of the powerups I can remember are the old trio, and I would hardly consider calling Yoshi a powerup. It did have some but not as many mini-games, SMB3 was full of them even if it did reuse 2 or so. And seeing them on the map was cool. After beating 96 goals, do you really want to do it again? The reason SMW tipped up to the middle of the balance was because of the good graphics, music, spirit, new things, and SAVE FUNCTIONALITY. SMB3 was great... but you couldn't save. As for SMB3 in SMAS - I would hardly consider saving your world saving at all! You can go right back to the world you were on(up to world 8) in the "old" SMB3 by actually beating I think 3 levels or less! But don't get me wrong... I'm not dissing SMW... I love both! Just giving my opinion... of course SMW isn't even one of the choices is it.................

I like the fact that you can't save in the classic "Mario" games. That way, it's not too easy. "Lost Levels" can't humanly be beaten without saves, though, so that's one exception. "Mario 3" is absolutely perfect in difficulty, not too easy, not too hard. "Mario World" and "Yoshi's Island" are too easy and "Lost Levels" and "Mario 2" are too hard. "Mario 64" and "Mario R.P.G." are a different type of game, and saves are required there, just not (I think) in "Mario 1," "Mario 3," "Mario World," or "Yoshi's Island."

SMB3.
Not only is it the best Mario game of all time (SMW is a close second) if you read EGM #100, SMB3 is the second best game of all time on their 100 best games of all time list.(If you wanted to know, the #1 game was Tetris)

TRM04 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 22, 2000, 06:14:56 AM »

Relly? Cool. Which version of tetris was #1? All of them in general or Tengens or Nintendos or which?

MrWhitefolks · « **Reply #19 on:** June 22, 2000, 08:56:11 AM »

well, honestly; it just makes no sense to compare A)a 2d platformer, B)an rpg and C)a full 3d platformer/adventure game. the genre differences are to vast to actually compare games. i mean, cmon now; that's like comparing Tekken to Legend of Zelda. It just ain't gonna happen. the only thing those 3 games have in common is Mario. That's it. period

Peace

Now that I think about it, all of them are the best for their systems, but if you look at EGM's Best Games of all Time list, all three games are within the top 15.( SMW was #11, SM64 was #4, and SMB3 was #2.) Oh, and EGM said any version of Tetris was good.

Correction! SMRPG was #26. I know SMW wasn't one of the choices. My mind was wandering at the time.^_^
