Soaring through the sky or navigating the depths of the castle with the Metal Cap that’s the stuff of legends
Whether racing Koopa the Quick or Battling King Boo, this game is a treasure trove of Nintendo goodness. How many readers found the secret short cut on Bob-omb mountain or the teleportation spot in Snowman’s Land? This title had little secrets hidden everywhere in it. There’s a reason it ranked so highly in our list of the best N64 games… but what beat him to the top? From the very first encounter with King Bob-Omb to navigating those insanely difficult dungeons to reach Bowser, Mario 64 is the ultimate Mario adventure title. This game has everything, and I mean everything. And finally, Super Mario 64 takes the top spot in our list of the best Mario games of all time (Trumpet fanfare please) Yes folks, Mario 64 rightfully takes the Number 1 position in our best Mario games of all time because it’s still an absolute classic in 2021.

Super Mario 64Īnd finally, Super Mario 64 takes the top spot in our list of the best Mario games of all time! This is the game that keeps on giving! 1. He could have just stepped off the Odyssey, in fact! Players with enough power stars can also use Luigi too. The planets, enemies, and scenery are all beautifully created, and Mario’s looks feel finished in this title. Collect power stars while trying to figure out what’s going on with the gravity, running around planets and sometimes battling upside down! So what’s the deal with Super Mario Galaxy? Well, Mario must once again save Princess Peach, though this time he’s doing it in space. Plus, while I liked the brief change of having Baby Bowser as the antagonist in Sunshine, it was nice to see big daddy Bowser back on the scene again. It had to bring the thunder after the success of Super Mario Sunshine, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s weird to think that this was only the third 3D Mario game to come out for home consoles. The original title knocked my Nintendo-themed socks off (currently wearing now), and it was like a trip down memory lane when I played it for my Super Mario 3D All-Stars review! Super Mario Galaxy was new and fresh the idea just wasn’t as impactful on the second game. I didn’t find the first game as insanely difficult, and it felt a lot more enjoyable to play while being so much different to Super Mario Sunshine. I know many people consider the second Galaxy title as the better of the two, but I guess I’m just different. Mazza fans can put down the pitchforks and call off the angry mob Super Mario Galaxy has finally arrived and takes the second spot in this list!
