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.

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. Need I mention Mr.L? Their points they made aren't even good. Plus, mario sports mix is actually pretty good, no cap, I played that bunch. If reviews were here super paper mario would be above origami king, no cap 85 and 8.0

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.

[@michaeldanielson6206]

The ChoZen One has sent me to say this: Super Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door are two of the best games ever made and it is ludicrous that Super Paper Mario is not within the top 30 and The Thousand-Year Door is not within the top 5.

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.

[@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)

[@matthewmartin4394]

Really? Odyssey over SMB 3, Super Mario World, & Mario 64? IMO these should be the top 3. I know its all subjective, but if Mario 64 set the basic template for all 3D Mario games going forward, then it should be ranked above the games that wouldn't even exist if not for it's inspiration. Overall a good list. Thanks for putting it together. It's a real labor of love.

[@Sandman_Slim]

I agree.

[@jclkaytwo]

odyssey has infinitely more depth, replayability, and fun controls than any of those games. either you're incredibly nostalgia blind, or you look exclusively at innovation instead of how well each game has aged. 64 may have set the template, but that's all it is. a template.

[@matthewmartin4394]

Perhaps I'm a bit bias to an extent. However, although Odyssey is a great game in it's own right, I believe that relatively speaking, in accordance with the available tech at the time of each title's development, Odyssey accomplished nothing as important (or for me, even engaging) enough to compare to those titles. Also, Mario walking around a GTA like environment among realistically rendered human beings, just felt SO off, it took me (& many others) right out of it. That's saying something for a game series that has otherwise never required extensive suspension of belief. I still feel it was a misstep.

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.

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.

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.

[@badwolfest83o8]

I'll be honest, I thought both Mario 64 and Mario Bros 3 were going to be top 2, otherwise, for everything I've played, I totally agree with everything here. Great job again, Triple Jump

[@crazydud3380]

Those are the two most important Mario. One set the standard for 2D platformers, and the other for 3D platformers. Now that the games are no longer so revolutionary, however, I do believe Mario World beats out Bros 3 when played today (though that can be debated. As for Mario 64, I love it, but it is showing its age, for sure. After being used to the perfect controls of Odyssey and Galaxy, I was surprised by how slippery Mario is in 64, by comparison, and the camera is a real problem sometimes. It is still outstanding, but in terms of what is the best to play now, I do think Mario 64 has been surpassed, and Odyssey is essentially that game's sequel (Sunshine was weird, and the Odyssey games are much more linear overall). Odyssey went back to the more exploratory collectathon design of 64. Btw, just giving my own opinion. I am not trying to imply you are wrong.

[@badwolfest83o8]

Yeah, it being below Mario Parties 9 and 10, two games that are widely hated by Mario Party fans and got worse reviews, hurt

Same with Origami King, I'd say.

[@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.
