You may just want to list (BEST: 1. 2. 3. 4...) for voting. This is over on Jan 1st. Any posts after that date will not be counted. HOWEVER: I may be gone around that time, so it might take awhile for the results to be posted. (Or..maybe not...) It's Time to Decide!

I nominate Edutainment games.
(PS: WEEGEE should not be one of your reasons for voting MiM best!
-
I'm a little confused. Are you restricted to the previous BAWIS winners/losers, or can you vote for any Mario game?
-
ANY Mario game. >.<
The whole point is to see if the votes change.
-
Oh, okay. Here are my votes:
BEST:
#1: That's a tough one, so I won't go for any on that, sorry.
#2: The best ending is probably Super Paper Mario. One thing I like about it is that unexpected plot twist.
#3: The game with the best powerups is probably Super Mario Bros. 3. It had a lot of them, and they were all fun to use.
#4: The best final boss battle is hard to decide, sorry. I won't go for that one.
#5: The best storyline is either between Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario. I can't decide, so I'm not going to vote for that one, sorry.
#6: The best attacks are probably in Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga. They were funny and fun to perform, especially when you can do 3000+ damage (or around that. I don't remember my highest hit) with max stats using Spin Bros :).
#7: The best first boss is too hard to decide, so I won't vote on that sorry.
#8: The best intro is a little hard to decide too, since most of them are great in their own ways.
#9: I think the HUB in all of the Mario games are great, with a few exceptions, such as Mario Is Missing!. I'm not voting on this one, sorry.
#10: I can't really decide on my favorite first level, because all of them have great memories. I'm not voting on this one, sorry.
I'll only do a small WORST list because I really can't make up my mind.
#4: Mario Is Missing!. You're completely invincible against the last boss, and you can't lose. Also, he only moves back and forth across the castle.
#9: Mario Is Missing!. You're in a castle that is completely straight and you can open a few doors that each lead to 2 pipes. Each pipe takes you to a different part of the world. In each world you answer questions. It's not really that fun of a game to me.
I don't see why people think Flipside is the worst HUB out of all the Mario games. I thought that everything was placed in a great spot. It's easy to make your way around the town, and it has plenty of secrets in it.

Nominate: Best/Worst 3D game
-
BEST:
1#: SMG.
2#: SMG again.
3#: SMW. Cape feather FTW.
4#: NSMB. Two bosses at once!
5#: SMG, mostly Rosalina's backstory.
6#: SMG yet again; I think the spin attack fits in with the game well.
7#: SM64. Hey, I like big explosives.
8#: Ummm... Having trouble deciding... anything but Sunshine, really.
9#: SM64.
10#: SMB, for nostalgic reasons.
WORST: SMS. No, really, after playing it, I realize that while it wasn't a "bad" game per se, every post I had ever read complaining about Piantas, gross bosses, and the infamous "Mario! How dare you disturb our family vacation!" I find myself agreeing with. So, yeah... SMS is my answer for every worst category except powerups, which goes to SMB.

Best
1#: Super Mario Galaxy
2#: Super Mario World
3#: Super Mario World
4#: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
5#: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (well, it's less the storyline and more the little things that you encounter along the way)
6#: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
7#: Super Mario 64 (if only for the memories)
8#: Mario Power Tennis (I never, ever would've considered this, but I was drawing a blank, scrolled down to get ideas, and... well, it is pretty cool)
9#: Super Mario Sunshine
10#: Super Mario Galaxy
Worst
1#: New Super Mario Bros. (Remixing the SMW credits music for the main theme = Fail)
2#: Super Mario Galaxy (Only because it's confusing and you have to watch it at least four times to 100% the game)
3#: Super Mario Sunshine (Were there any?)
4#: Super Mario Galaxy (Boy, didn't see that coming)
5#: New Super Mario Bros. (I know it was supposed to be retro-simple, but... dang, at least SMB had the whole "black magic army of turtles" backstory)
6#: Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (Way too much of an emphasis on repetitive Bros. Items. Why did they even bother including "normal" attacks?)
7#: Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins (Any order works, really, but they're all sort of meh)
8#: Super Mario 64 (It works, but it's still a little unceremonious)
9#: Super Mario Galaxy
10#: Super Mario Sunshine (It's the least good, really. First levels are supposed to make a good impression and I think all the Mario games did fairly well in that respect)
-
BEST:
1#: Super Mario 64
2#: Paper Mario
3#: Super Mario Bros. 3
4#: Super Paper Mario
5#: Paper Mario / M&L SS (tie)
6#: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (love those advanced commands!)
7#: Super Mario 64
8#: Super Mario World (short, sweet, and to the point)
9#: Paper Mario
10#: Super Mario Bros.
WORST:
1#: Super Mario Bros. 2 (US) (essentially only three cues)
2#: Super Mario Bros. 2 (US)
3#: Super Mario Sunshine
4#: Super Mario Bros. (identical to every other boss)
5#: Super Mario Bros. 2 (US)
6#: Mario & Luigi: PiT (put Bros. Attacks back in M&L 3!!!)
7#: Mario & Luigi: PiT (cheap ripoff of SS)
8#: Paper Mario (love that game, but essentially a half-hour intro)
9#: Super Mario Sunshine
10#: Super Mario Bros. 2 (US)
Worsts for me generally are in M&L PiT, SMS, and SMB2(US), if that isn't obvious...
-
Best:
1#: Paper Mario
2#: Mario Power Tennis (The bloopers.)
3#: Super Mario Bros. 3 (The 3 Suits and the shoe FTW.)
4#: SMW2, Yoshi's Island (It was so epic, and somewhat challenging.)
5#: Paper Mario: TTYD
6#: Mario and Luigi: SS
7#: First Boss
8#: Mario Power Tennis
9#: Paper Mario
10#: Super Mario 64
Worst:
1#: Super Mario Sunshine (Good music, but none of them are great.)
2#: Super Mario Galaxy (It didn't make sense, and why couldn't I finish the game before seeing it?)
3#: Mario Party 5 (capsules are the worst thing to appear in a Mario Party.)
4#: Super Mario Sunshine (anti-climatic and easy.)
5#: I don't know
6#: Super Mario Sunshine
7#: I don't know
8#: Mario Kart Wii (I just don't like it for some reason...)
9#: Mario and Luigi; PIT (Too bland)
10#: I don't know

I know it's a little late for this, but should't we have the results from each topic so that we can see how accurate the new votes really are?
