    The best two Mario games still remained Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES and Super Mario RPG for the SNES.

    Infact, Super Mario RPG is the best game on the SNES period. Anyone that argues that fact is a fascist communist nazi.

    what does it feel like being so wrong

    EVERYONE IS 25, EVEN MARIO

    what the fuck.

    1985 remains the best year to have been born.

    I really don't get why Nintendo won't give the Mother games another chance in the US

    I mean seriously it would take close to zero effort to bring Mother 1+2 to the states

    And with how rabid the fanbase is they'd probably give their translation patch for Mother 3 away for free

    man i have a passing interest in rpgs, but this sounds amazing

    As a rule of thumb I don't like RPGs at all

    but I loved Earthbound and Mother 3

    Man, I remember one time when I had a half day off back in grade school so I came home and played Mario 3 all the way through for the rest of the day.

    Beat it from start to finish, no warp whistles.

    Galaxy 2 and Mario World are probably higher up on my list than Mario 3. Maybe Mario 64, too.

    If you need more of an endorsement, it's certified #1 on my ranked list of SNES games. There's a gold seal with a cactuar on it and everything.

    My guess is they don't want to get their face's sued off. A lot of the music is... questionable in terms of how much of a "tribute" it is.

    I'll see if I can find that article I read on the subject.


    We had a NES but we went for the Genesis when it came out. I saved up and bought an SNES like a week before the 64 was released. Managed to snag Chrono Trigger soon after that and picked up most of the classics used.

    Favourite Mario game would be a toss up between Super Mario RPG and Yoshi's Island. Both are games I've played over and over.

    Super Mario World is the no. 3 best ever Mario game.

    Mario 64 is way down on the list. It's not a terrible game but fuck...there's been so many Mario games that it suffers.

    I'm seconding Super Metroid for best SNES game. The bosses weren't ever kick-in-the-crotch frustrating, but even after playing through the game half a dozen times most of them still offer a challenge.

    The DS one was lame yeah but I really enjoyed the Wii one

    I really don't think too many 1-ups matters much these days. There's really no point in arbitrarily giving you extra punishment every 5th life.

    That said though they should probably just remove the lives system altogether instead of just letting you game it with tons of 1-Ups

    but then you'd lose the classic 1-Up noise

    I was almost ready to agree but then I remembered Super Metroid.

    I think it's a toss up between those two for best SNES game.

    I agree, but Zombies Ate my Neighbors will always be the best in my heart

    I don't remember anything before Super Mario Bros. 3. That's as far back as my brain goes.

    I still beat that game about once a month, almost two decades later.

    God damn I love me some Mario.

    They really are, especially Ridley. When I first showed my wife Super Metroid to help her understand my, obsession, with the series, she kept asking me why I spent most of the game collecting so many missiles and never really using them.

    Then I got to Ridley, and then she understood why I collected them as I fired every missile ever into him and still had to finish him off with charged plasma beam shots.
