Every Mario Game Ranked From WORST To BEST

You already know who Mario is; let’s skip the preamble so we can plumb the depths of Nintendo’s mascot. And we do mean the depths. See, here at TripleJump, we don’t just “Do the Mario.” We do all the Mario. We’re not only ranking the platformers, major spinoffs, or ranking the games made by Nintendo. We are ranking every Mario game from worst to best, because you asked us to and we didn’t have the heart to say no.

Mario teaches typing was the most influential game of my life. In my computer lab back in 1999, one of the computers had a second overhead monitor the whole class could see. I sat at that computer one day. That day, I had hit the highest wpm the class had seen. Everyone crowded around me watching me smash through that typing like a boss. Was the most epic moment of my life.

[@veevendetta3448]

What I did in High School around that time was while in Computer Class I showed all my classmates and yeah I was the new hot guy in that school yadda yadda we all are until you're no longer the new guy but what I did was show all my buddies Emulators and how to set them up alongside NES or SNES ROMS and how to get most pirated games on your computer. While the teacher was talking....I was playing The Legend of Zelda and also Super Mario Bros 3. Then decided to play some Final Fantasy IV.....most of my class were playing whatever games they wanted. Mega Man and Castlevania I spotted while one dude was hardcore on Donkey Kong Country. "What?! How the fuck you get that?! Whoa you can play Nintendo games on the computer?!" I had to laugh cause I've known about it since like a couple years before as a kid/younger teen but the internet then was like Dial Up at home so if someone called your house # you got kicked off the net which was super super slow anyways. A 5 MB File could take up to an hour to download. MB not GB either....GB wasn't even heard of lol.

Gotta say I think Super Paper Mario is ranked way too low. Maybe it's just the overall high-quality of Mario games, but I think Super Paper Mario is a diamond in the rough. It has by far the darkest story of any Mario game (except maybe that Yoshi Super Scope mass-shooting game) and some very interesting and likeable characters. It's no Thousand-Year Door, but few games are.

[@Rodanguirus]

Agreed! Shame about the whole "it is now illegal for this series to be creative" thing. Super Paper Mario was a nice swan song of the original Paper Mario era.

[@aquarion6457]

I thought the original was the best one.

[@ajsgaming474]

Yeah honestly that ranking kinda pissed me off because it seemed like they just thought the story was too much dialouge when that's you know in order to flesh out the characters that they aprently didn't care about like really you didn't care about tippi did they actually play the game

[@LdNidd]

@AJS gaming Agreed. I thought Tippi and Bleck, along with Bleck's crew, were really enjoyable, well-rounded characters. I guess it's just a difference in taste, but it does feel like they just didn't 'get' a few aspects about the game.

Double Dash is one of my favorite games ever so I was definitely shocked to see it that low. The video focuses on the 2 player feature but no one really plays like that. The regular 4 player multiplayer, race tracks, and battle mode are some of the best in the series, my personal favorite

yeah, mario galaxy has a great and complex story and that game gets first. It definitely isn't the greatest mario game, but come on, it is a million times better than something like mario party ds, has a great mechanic, a masterful story with well developed characters (cept the pixies), species that are not just toads, and a villain that also isn't bowser (he even joins you along with peach), which is always appreciated.

To this day I get a little bit emotional from the sheer nostalgia whenever I hear its credits theme or the theme of Bob Omb Battlefield, which both stood out to me as a child. However, you've got to be wearing some rose-tinted nostalgia glasses if you genuinely think that anyone who believes it isn't the #1 Mario game has a "braindead opinion". It's an old game, and one made during a time where the 3D platformer wasn't yet defined, and that *does* show in a number of ways. While it was still a fantastic game and easily among the best on the N64, Odyssey and especially Galaxy *do* greatly improve upon what 64 established back then.

Amazing job everyone who worked on this. Cheers to another great year

[@justaguy7230]

Thank you guys so much for this!! Happy New Year's!

[@akatrielrobinson]

If anyone's wondering, "Yoshi no Tamago" translates to "Yoshi's Egg" which at least explains the mechanic of sandwiching things between the two halves of the egg.

[@tomnic5182]

Love the fact that I said “WHAT!” out loud when double dash came up way earlier than expected, only for you to immediately say you know I don’t agree, perfect timing

[@highnoon7097]

'Mario teaches typing' was the first of an informative, educational series of games that changed my life as a child. 'Mario teaches financial responsibility' was probably the best in the series, although 'Mario teaches rudimentary witch burning with fire and petrol' perhaps gave me more transferable skills.

[@bdgilliam7610]

Amazing job to all involved! Great way to start the new year.

[@zachzacha]

When it's a Philip j Reed script I know it's gonna be great! Well done and happy new year!

[@jellyjohn7881]

One of my biggest flexes is that when Mario Kart World Tour came out I was #1 on the charts for one of the cups for a few weeks. I will not tolerate any disrespect for that game lmao.

[@loganmarcum4495]

I would have switched the top two spots, but I cannot argue with just how amazing the Mario games really are. It is and probably always will be my favorite video game franchise.

[@TheYodelingViking]

Well he did say half of the viewers will disagree no matter what order he puts them. You and I are opposites there, but they're both amazing. And if it wasn't for Rosalina and how amazing the observatory is I would think they were exactly equal imo. I just didn't like Spaceship mario or Luba nearly as much.

[@crazydud3380]

I think you could change around any of those top 3 and still be correct, honestly.

[@carrmined]

Thanks TJ team! Made my day to see we had a 2.5 hour ranked vid 😁

[@AzureRoxe]

In order to explain how iconic Mario Galaxy and its soundtrack is, almost every Videogame music orchestra plays the Mario Galaxy theme alongside some of the rest of the iconic Mario pieces, with the only track added besides it being, of course, Jump Up Superstar.

[@joshuastedford1670]

Really hard work on this video - greatly appreciated! Only at 100 at time of writing, looking forward to seeing where Super Mario Bros DS lands. I spent most of my childhood playing Need For Speed titles, but I remember having a blast with Super Mario on DS

[@AlexandraMussar]

Strongly disagree with some of these rankings but mostly because of my own nostalgia lmao - Great video, absolutely loved watching!

My Top Ten Mario List: #1 Super Mario World - SNES [The only real Mario and best game of all time] #2 Yoshi's Island - SNES #3 Super Mario 3 - NES #4 Super Mario 2 - NES #5 Super Mario Kart - SNES #6 Donkey Kong - GameBoy [even though he isn't technically Mario, he's Mario] #7 Mario Kart 2 - N64 #8 Super Mario 64 - N64 #9 Basically all of the 3d Mario games - N64 - GameCube - Wii - Toaster Oven #10 Super Smash Bros... Lolz

I don't know about the rest of you, but count it a blessing that Super Mario Land didn't give us crabs.

agreed!!

Holy hell you folks are dedicated. Great channel as always.

[@christmashake8968]

SO happy that both of the Mario Baseball games placed inside the Top 35 for you guys, as well as for doing this list period. (I totally would have still watched it if you extended it by an hour to include the other 50 games you cut, by the way. XD)

[@retrokoh1507]

Ben saw those lists that Adam did over at Cultaholic and said: Bruh, I can do it too! I love this. Big Mario fan, and a list like this needed to happen.

[@Monman19EV]

Feel kind of bad for super paper Mario I still think it’s a great game especially looking at the ones we got recently

[@johnbrown4306]

This is going to be one of your most popular videos, I can just feel it

[@an_8bit_gameboy]

I think I've been waiting my whole life for this video. Awesome work

[@MrLambo559]

This video dropped on my birthday and I loved watching it throughout the week as I was going to bed each night. I probably would have put Odyssey over SMG2, but I am by no means an expert. I loved listening to the critiques of each game. I was so pleased that Donkey Kong '94 was so high. I loved that game as a kid.

[@trippyboi91]

Can we PLEASE have every Shelley Duvall game ranked? I support. And no, Mavis Beacon was the WOMAN I wanted to teach me typing 😂😂

It's shocking that you put Super Mario Maker 2 at number 69, considering it got an 88 on Metacritic; far higher than some of the entries you listed above it.

[@jjayala]

This is a great video. I certainly grew up playing Mario titles but was never a huge fan other than Mario kart 64. When I got my switch a few years ago I fell in love with gaming all over again and more. The simplicity and just joy of Mario I have only fully realized in my 30s. Some of my favorite game time is Mario kart deluxe 8, Mario golf, odyssey, I can't wait to get strikers when it comes out. And my kids love to play them too.

[@gabrielguedes1910]

Dont sleep on Super Mario World, it's quite old but arguably one of the best games of all time and it holds up amazingly well even to this day

[@traviscunningham7062]

@@gabrielguedes1910 It holds up even more than SM64.

[@neverwhere3416]

Awesome work boys (AND GIRLS) - though I massively disagree with the Mario Sunshine entry. Playing it again now and I’ve not seen any glitches, it’s a great game - 92% on Metacritic surely should make it rank higher!?

[@crazydud3380]

I am on those people who finds Sunshine frequently frustrating, but it definitely has some great stuff in it.

[@tomek2736]

Great list and what amount of work you've done, thank you! Where's 'Bowser's Fury' tho?

It's extremely rare I find Mario trivia I haven't heard already but there's some gems in this, loved learning about the Crazy Kong story. I think I always assumed Mario Photopi was part of the Mario artist thing, I had no idea it was basically bad N64 Mario Paint

[@thebishopofme]

I have a soft spot in my heart for Mario Teaches Typing because i remember playing that in 2nd and 3rd grade. Is it a good game? Obviously, no. Did it teach me to type? No. But do I love it because I see it through rose tinted nostalgia glasses and it reminds me of a time when I wasn't overly anxious about making rent payments? Yes.

[@mannameddeclan2577]

Y’all did mario party DS and double dash dirty as hell

[@PokeDude011]

You put Super Paper Mario below Origami King and Mario Run? Clown.

[@orinanime]

What a hell of a way to start the new year!! Thank you guys so much!!

[@TheBlackSeraph]

51:51 'Yoshi no Tamago' means 'Yoshi's Egg', which was the name it was originally going to be called in the West (according to gaming mags of the time). Don't know why Nintendo decided to rename this game to something so banal as "Yoshi" in the US and something equally banal ("Mario & Yoshi") in PAL territories.

[@Zarrock184]

So Paper Mario: Origami King (Metacritic 80, User 7.0) ranks below Mario Party 10 (Metacritic 66, User 6.4)? A slightly confusing choice to not rank games primarily on reviews, but at least its nice to see all of the games in Mario's history.

[@k.w.6626]

If reviews were here super paper mario would be above origami king, no cap 85 and 8.0

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Perfect hangover cure!!!!

[@thehammerbro5292]

Mario Kart Tour is one of the best Mario Kart games there's more if a reason to race beyond getting 1st. It's pretty addicting.

[@genericfriend2568]

I worked at a Main Event recently and I adored the Mario Kart cabinets we had. It wasn't GP 1 or 2, oddly enough, it was generically named but very much official.
