Super Mario World
Super Mario World hands down
How did Mario Kart 64 get such a low seed? Just to illustrate how awesome it truly was (and I mean awesome as in awe-inspiring goodness, not the Jersey Shore "AWESOME!")I will tell a short story.
In a high school computers class I had an N64 emulator with Zelda, SM64, MK64, Star Fox, Smash Bros, and tons of other classics. Within the first month, every computer had just Mario Kart 64, and every student spent their time attempting to get the best lap, race, and cup times. It still stacks up as, in my haughty opinion, the best racing game ever.
Getting off of my soapbox in 3, 2, 1...Thank you for your time.
Super Mario Galaxy definately
So many great games.... I think it will come down to Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Brothers, and Mario Kart
Ya had to do it. Pit Mario Bros 3 against Thousand Year Door. I can't even make a decision on that.
No Super Smash Bros.?
@ john whitfield
I totally agree. Super Mario Sunshine is my favorite out of the 3D Mario games.
This bracket thing is really cool by the way. I love these type of things.
I'm on this now
Personally, I believe that Thousand Year Door was underrated. I, for one, loved it. But I still picked the other choice it was up against :-P
Wow. How did Paper mario N64 get such a low seed? That game is my fav. other than that, i like super mario n64
Ohhh man, this is kinda kewl. Super Mario RPG had better get the props it deserves!
Tie for second. A very close second, almost three-way tie. Super Mario World and Super Mario 64. Super Mario RPG is definitely my favorite, though.
What genius gave Partners in time an eighth seed!?! And how come Picross is only a three?!?
Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are definitely my favorite.
either mario64, or mariokart64
Voted.
You guys really screwed over the entire Mario RPG stable with the match-ups. Unless the community surprises me and there are actually some worthy "upsets".
