Ranking Every Mainline Mario Game

Finally somebody who speaks the truth about Galaxy it’s so overrated

I honestly never get tired of watching Mario game rankings because everyone has such different opinions. Some people would say you're crazy for putting the NSMB games above any of the NES ones d: Personally my favorite is Galaxy, but Odyssey was pretty close to beating it.

Lets be honest, Galaxy was done dirty in this tierlist lol

I just wish people would appreciate 64 DS more. I played it loads as a kid (back when I didn't realize the controls were absolute trash) and I had SO much fan. 4 completely unique characters, 30 extra stars, a pretty fun online multiplayer, the MINIGAMES... If only they had remade the remake instead of the original in 3D all stars :(

GALAXY AT 7TH ?? IM NOT RECOVERING

Galaxy games>

Maybe the battle against Bowser is easy in Galaxy 2, but the entire level is EPIC.

Weird how you have a problem with Luigi in Galaxy but have no problem with 3d world making you play EVERY single level with EVERY character

Mario Galaxy not top 3 is diabolical (it is meant to be played in the order the devs decided to make it cool unlocking new worlds, if the player could pick any world when they wanted in any order it wouldnt have the same vibes) however every other ranking was pretty much perfect.

I need Wii U stop NOW

the galaxy slander is unreal...

3D world over Galaxy 1 and 2 is INSANE LMAOOO

3D World is probably my favorite Mario game. It's not perfect. It starts off way too easy, but by the time you hit the bonus worlds the difficulty is satisfying. The final boss is a disappointment, but the whole game is imbued with a sense of fun that's hard to describe. Once you're in it and bopping to the jazzy tunes and completing the fun bite-size levels one after another, you reach a kind of Zen state of video game fun. I also think New Super Mario Bros. U is underappreciated. People were burned out on the New Super Mario Bros. style by the time it came out. I get it. And people were disappointed that it was a launch game for a new system; they wanted a big sandbox Mario game for that. But many of the levels are very well-designed. I love the squirrel suit: gliding feels satisfying. It's just good and fun gameplay, and if you can separate your experience of playing it now from your disappointment at the timing of its release, it is, in my opinion, peak side-scrolling Mario gameplay.

64, Galaxy, SMW, SMB3, and Odyssey are the top 5 for me without question. That's in no particular order either. Sunshine, 3D World, and Bowsers Fury I really felt were too high. To each their own though.

I honestly fully agree with your list except that I would drop 64 down at least 5 slots. I could never get the hang of the super sensitive controls and that combined with the horrible camera made precise movement nearly impossible. Skill issue me all you want but every game since has handled significantly better

Mario 3d world, Galaxy, Mario Word and New Wii are my favorites

mario 3 d world and bowsers fury before galaxy 2? something aint right

Mario 64 it’s probably my least favorite of the mainline Mario games. I have absolutely no nostalgia for it whatsoever and I bought it on my Wii U a while back. I just thought it was really boring and not that fun

my top 5: 1. Super Mario Galaxy 2. Super Mario World 3. Super Mario Odyssey 4. Super Mario Bros. 3 5. Super Mario Galaxy 2
