I've noticed this weird thing. In each Mario series (excluding the first Super Mario Bros. in the Super Mario Bros. series), he runs differently. In SMB 2 & 3, he runs with his arms bent on each side and they stay still, and he tilts his body. In the Smash Bros. series, he bends his back and runs rather normally. In the 3D series, his arms are straight out to the sides and he bends his forearms as he runs. What running style is your favorite?
-
Well, part of the reasons he runs various ways is mostly because of graphical limitations (or lack thereof), but I think the 3Ds take the cake, for obvious reasons.
-
I'm gonna go with Super Smash Bros. for realism. No one can move their legs as fast as Mario does in Super Mario 64.
-
How do you consider SMB2 and SMB3 to have the same running style? The animation is completely different.
SMB3 wins anyway.
-
They are pretty much. Mario runs with his arms to the side, bent, and moves his legs in SMB2, so I consider it the same.
-
SMB3, only because he seems to run really, really fast when he puts his arms out in an airplane formation.
-
I picked SSB. Also, am I the only one that thinks that the running style in NSMB is just...weird?
-
Where's Super Mario World? I think he ran the best then.
-
This thread is useless without .gifs.
-
Only to people who haven't actually seen him run.
-
Seeing Mario run for the first time on the top of the beanstalk was possibly one of my most favorite moments in all of my video gaming endeavors. SMB for sure.

You can't have a poll without the awesome SMW "speeding bullet" style running. If that was here, I would vote for it.
I voted for 3D Mario games. Smash Bros. in second, but I like Galaxy's "airplane" style of running than Smash Bros. "tucked head" running.

Airplane-style running? You mean like in the intro?

Why was he doing that, anyway? Musta been pretty happy...

Yea...

Why was he happy? That he had one more star to collect?
-
He was happy because Peach said in her letter that she had something to give him.
-
Maybe he thought it was Bowser's head. *shrugs*

You know, they never do say what that was...
-
I'm betting it was the White Luma/Star she was holding.
Back on topic, I actually like Luigi's run in Super Mario Galaxy.
-
Yeah, it's neat in a quirky way... he always looks like he's about to fall on his back.
-
can't mario run like a normal person?
