I haven't played any of the Mario Party games, Luigi's Mansion, Mario World 2, Mario RPG or the newest Wario for the GBA.. But all the ones I have played are awesome. I think Mario 3 and Mario 64 were my favorites.
Do the Donkey Kong games count?

Absolutely... when I say ''Mario'' games, I don't mean all the spinoffs like Luigi's Mansion, Yoshi's Safari, Mario is Missing, etc. I mean:
Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario World Super Mario World 2 (SO UNDERRATED) Mario 64 Mario Sunshine
All of these are the REAL Mario games and are expertly crafted. Mario is an Italian Stallion.
The Gameboy Mario games are all classics, same goes for all the Warios... and there's great stuff like Mario Party, Mario Kart, Mario RPG... there's some misses among the ''semi-offical'' Mario games, but the hits outnumber them.
Mario's Time Machine for example sucks my dick and won't even swallow... but that's OK, it's not a ''real'' Mario game.

Donkey was a main character in one of the original mario games I'm pretty sure, so I guess he counts, but if that's the case then yoshi's story also counts,. now there's a tripped out game,.

i completed supermarioworld, one of a very select few i have. nothing better to do in 1993. some levels are fucking impossible. more recently i got hold of it again for a snes emulator and it really freaked me out that i could remember most of the castles.

SMB 1 and 3 (NES) + Super Mario World, thoose are my favourites. The N64 one was also pretty fun, but it was so different from the others,
also Mario acted like he was retarded, 5 years old or something running around yelling, when he was suppose to save the princess (or whatever he was up to).
In the early games he was, like Ophecks wrote, an Italian stallion.
He dealed with the shit like a man.

Mario Kart on SNES and N64 owns all! At least in that line of game. I've played all of the "Real" mario games up until the Gamecube. All of them have been kick ass so far.

But also it seems like Nintendo's got a lack of imagination or something, they release so many games based on old characters.
Once the characters made the games, but why not try to come up with some new characters (instead of taking an old one).
One thing that is really stupid, is when they take an old character - and change it so it fits the new game.

They haven't made new ones prolly because people still buy the new games with the old characters, so they prolly don't see much of need to. They prolly will make an attempt to sooner or later, and they may fail miserably, they may not.

yeah. but the games aren't good because of the characters. Also when they make games where the characters have nothing to do with the game (except they appeared in older Nintendogames) such as Super Mario Kart & Super Mario Tennis --- it feels weird.
But thoose are entertaining games.

yoshi's island is slowly becoming my favorite although i don't think it will ever top smb3 completely. don't forget about the game boy mario games- super mario land had that tight ass submarine shooting level. that game had the best music too. plus wario, don't even get me started on that pimp

I <3 Mario ! The SNES Parts are the best IMO. Yoshis Island has so much style but the music is really annoying.
Super Mario Sunshine is fun but I just cant make my mind up to the 3D concept. It seems to me like they have to make every game in 3D just to demonstrate the technical power.

true. 3D isn't used very brightly. It's simply used because it exist, and "all games use it". Well not all, but most games. I wish they could make stylish games. But it seems like few of the big companies wish to take chances when releasing games.

Super Mario World is my favourite. That game just has it all. Riding on yoshi is incredibly fun, and when you're flying with that cape it actually feels like flying. (much more so than flying in smb3). I just loved flying all the way to the top of the level, then diving down... only pulling up a few milimeters before i'd crash on the floor :-p
The level design was also perfect in that one... all the levels (all 96 of them!) are amazingly fun and entertaining. And so much variation in themes! :-D Chocolate islands, the ghost houses, the bowser-castles... this feels to me so much like the ultimate mario game.
I generally think 3d mario works pretty well. Before the N64 came out i had no idea how it would work, but when i first played mario64 it just felt completely natural :-)
What i don't like about the 3d games though is that there are basically only a limited amount of worlds, and in each of them you have to do several assignments. I suppose there just isn't enough memory to create more worlds, and it was invented because the game would last too short with only 8 or 9 levels... but still... it kinda ruins the feeling of being on a journey and discovering new worlds all the time.
I'd really like for the levels to be a little more straightforward. Just get from start to finnish. As much as i like mario64 and mario sunshine... i do miss that aspect of the old games.

DKC is amazing, and the soundtrack is first rate... I used to just let Donkey Kong float around in the water levels while I listened to that wonderful music. ''Under the seeeeaaaaaaaa... under the seeeeaaaaaa... darling it's better, down where it's wetter''.

Also, mario kart on the snes was WAY better than on n64! The n64 had some pretty dull levels :-/ (rainbowroad (!), that desert-level, fucking bowser's castle (with the thwomp that always blocks the doorway), the highway level with all those trucks and busses, the wario-themed level).
On the snes all the courses were alot smaller (almost no lap would last longer than 20 or 30 seconds)... and it was just insane :-D I knew the tracks by heart... every little corner of them, and it just became all about fighting and taking out the other drivers. I've honestly never had more fun with any other game than i had with mario (in 2 player mode ofcourse). It also had some *really* clever shortcuts that almost always failed, but yet you kept trying ;-) Man i loved that game...
Mario Kart 64 is much more an ordinary racing-games with a couple of attacks thrown in.

I actually liked Mario Kart 64 more... except for the fact that multi-player Grand Prix was fucked up because weapons were TOO effective and were the key to victory even more than skillz.

The beach-levels also had some cool shortcuts! Small pathways of shallow water to drive through... one of those levels could be done in half the time (or less) with proper use of shortcuts.
And yeah i think i remember the one you talk about... that was a loooong jump wasn't it? I remember drowing in the lava alot with that shortcut :-p

"fucked up because weapons were TOO effective"
lol yeah, i know what you mean. In that game you're almost afraid to try hard, because you just know if you get ahead, you'll get one of those blue homing-shells chasing you, or you'll be shrunk by lightning... it sucks :-(
But then again, so do the tracks ;-) And the fact that koopa was replaced by wario.
DiddyKong Racing is the game that mariokart64 could (and should) have been.
