i've been playing this alot on my n.e.s. lately (playing to big loada always makes me happy) and i was wondering. is this the best mario ever? also, who's your favorite character? mine is toad for some reason... and i do think it's the best. |
||||||||

i like the way luigi moves his feet when he jumps. |

the princess can fly so has the greatest advantage, there's a trick, I forget like go down the right most pipe while carrying a potion or something and you warp. This was my favorite mario game I think, such a great game but really messed up a bit on the game boy color version. It has such a weird magical feel, crazy ladybugish creatures climbing on vines, flying magic carpets, fry guy's multiplying self, mouser, wart is awesome, flying magic carpets, great music and sounds... Also get this game "pocky and rocky" I've been playing it recently a lot, later levels get better. At first it seems like one of those games that are on crack or something. |

I love the drawing of wart in the manual, I learned how to reproduce it by memory with pencil |

I've got the original SMB2 (not the GBA remake) on my GBA right now, along with 86 other NES classics :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the ending pissed me off so much though! i felt cheated. the thing i love about toad is that if you're good enough, you can run and throw something, let it hit a shyguy or whatever, and then catch it. i don't know why that makes me so happy, but it does. i'm playing it right now, i'm at 6-1... and i think i'm listening to some kinks... i wish i had smiley smile because i love crazy shit together. |

i always play TOAD in mario kart - he's just so cute! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't find pocky and docky... what system is it for? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't remember, but it's called pocky and Rocky, not docky :) I think it's the snes, I've never played it, but I remember the name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Toad is maaaad fast. You can take out rows of enemies with a single turnip using that guy. He's the best. (super mario 3 was my fav, btw) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
errr. pocky and rocky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SM2 was a great one, but 3 was the best, probably because I like yoshi so much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my fav mario was #4 for SNES... dunno why.. I can beat it in one day easy... everything, its sweet ass..... it was..... mystical! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yoshi wasn't in 3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the best thing about 3 was the tanooki suit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, or remember in 3 when you could jump around in the boot? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about the hammer bros suit? That was the bomb! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the hammerbros suit was kick ass, good thing about marios was there were so many secrets and shit.. especially #4 aand #3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Im thinking of 4 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it was a huge let down that they didn't have all the suits in the snes one. for somereason, i'm really into mario world 2 for snes, where you're yoshi, and you carry around baby mario |

Mario 2 was great, but it brings back bad memories because I always found it really hard, and it would piss me off. I still think I've only beaten once or twice. It doesn't fit in with the others. It's not an actual Mario game, it's really Doki Doki Panic, some Japanese thing. Exact same game with different sprites, it had an Arabic theme, lots of turbans and shit! They just changed the sprites to Mario characters and called it Mario 2. I always liked it, it was fucking weird. |
||||||||

i find luigi to be the best for playing.. ya gotta love birdo also.. some of those desert levels are tough as hell.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think its a fair bet that Princess is the best, as you can correct your falls because she descends so slow, and this gives great distance coverage. Is Mario the worst? Toad was too fruity looking for me, I'm just like when I play characters, can't play someone I don't respect. |
||||||||

smb 1 will forever be a classic because it redefined home gaming 4evah. but smb 2 was probably my favorite. either luigi or the princess were the my characters of choice. mario was lame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey I'm with roygbiv... I always played Toad too... He was fast and strong... or maybe I just liked being a shroom :) The Boot is the SHIT on SM3.... why is it on ONE level?? :\ I will play SM3 just to get to Boot level... then commit suicide and play it again! |

Mario 2 has a great ending. it's cool that it all turns out to be a dream. on the gameboy advance, mario 2 has been upgraded. it is still the same game but with better graphics and a few new additions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i almost always use princess toadstool because she can fly. the REAL mario 2 (which looked almost the same is mario 1) was released in japan but never came out in the US because they thought it would be too hard or something. this game was later released for super nintendo in the mario all stars game as "the lost levels." another interesting thing is that Birdo was actually a GUY who thought he was a girl (it says that in the instruction booklet!), but they changed that later (i think if you look at the birdo trophy in Super Smash Brothers Melee birdo is a felmale). |

I loved Mario 3 when it first came out ! Havent played that for aaages. I sold my nes in a car boot sale years ago for the a £5 with loads of games =o( silly me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SMW on Snes and SM64 are the best imo... (btw anyone knows who is this Daisy character which is now included in Mario games...?) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't that the princess' first name? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i [b]think[/b] daisy first appeared on Super Mario Land for game boy. im not 100% sure it was her first appearance, but i know she did appear in that game. |

Super Mario 3 is my personal favorite. Mario 2 actually wasn't even a Mario game originally. It was released in Japan as Doki Doki Panic, and then it was ported over here with the addition of Mario characters and items. Why did they do it? I don't know, but the real Mario 2 is actually the Lost Levels game from the SNES Mario AllStars collection. I'm betting they ported Doki Doki as Mario because they felt that Japan's Mario 2 wouldn't fare well compared to other platformers that were out at the time. Either way, our Mario 2 is still good. But Mario 3 is still my fave, just because of the amazing variety in the levels. You had the giant world, one of my faves in Mario history, that amazing desert stage, and let's not forget the Koopa Kids! The Boswer in SMB3 is one of the best 8bit Mario bosses ever! But as for SMB2, my faves changed each level. Mario was good against bosses, Luigi was good on levels that required much jumping, Toad was best in the desert, but the Princess for some reason was my all-around fave. I'd use her for like 9 levels of the game. |

|

you are correct. she originally was in super mario land! |
||||||||

princess toadstoolls first name is peach |

Whoops - Ophecks already said the Doki Doki thing... I apologize for that reiteration. :-) |
||||||||

thanks! FlyAgaric > Daisy is not Peach... is a brunette with a yellow dress, whereas is the blonde with a pink dress everyone knows =) |

SMB3 is my favorite. Warp whistles, flying ships, and the fucking SUN trying to kill you. Great shit. |

i can beat this game in under 16 minutes. i don't know if that's anything special but it seems fast. i even wrote up an faq for it. i believe i can get it under 14 minutes but i don't have an actual nintendo to try it on. super mario bros 2 is definitely my favorite of the nintendo mario games. super mario world for super nintendo rocked. mario 64 is great as well. i hope to buy gamecube and mario sunshine. the game looks so happy if i play it while listening to plaid i may just explode from happiness. |

Mario 3 was breathtaking, the sense of accomplishment when I got to the Desert Land was fantastic... and that was just the SECOND WORLD! AAAAHHHHH! So awesome, it's still mega-fun today. I always LOVED acquiring the Frog Suit, the Tanooki and the Hammer Bros. Suit... I thought it was the only flaw in the game that you didn't get them much, and they really weren't all that useful. You get hit once and your excitement would turn to anger knowing that was one of only, like, THREE motherfucking Frog Suits! |

i think the best all-time mario suit has to be the little boot thing.. i mean.. damn.. combine that thing with fire mario and you're fuckin' indestructible. they seriously need to make a new side-scrolling mario game for the gamecube in the style of mario 3, but with better 3d backgrounds and effects, and whatnot.. they should combine the best aspects of all the mario games: tanooki mario, hammer throwing mario, frog mario, and the little inventory window thing from mario 3, how you can throw shit and the option of being which ever character you want like in mario 2, the feather and yoshi from mario world, and the flagpole with fireworks at the end of every level like on the original game.. |

Super Mario World is easily the best mario-game imho. It has everything that was good about all the other games. Only done better, and in larger quantities :-p Riding Yoshi was also incredibly fun. Nintendo are really fantastic when it comes to gameplay, because riding on yoshi really does make the controls feel different. Like you're heavier, and have better grip. Also mario's cape looked very cool, and was much more fun to fly with than the tail from mario3. (i just loved flying all the way up, and then diving nose-down back to the ground :-D). Then there are the ghost-houses, the switch-palaces, the bowser-castles,(remember climbing those fences? And knocking off the koopas on the other side of the fence? That was the best :-D). And also very much, and very rewarding, secrets. Not just a hidden 1up mushroom here and there. But an actual secret world to be discovered! Best platform-game ever. |

not to mention, george, when you beat the last level of that hidden world, you get to play an entirely new game!.. no wait.. it was just the same thing but the turtles were replaced with baseball-capped mario head-looking things.. |

Every Mario game has been the best of its respective generation, except Mario Sunshine (and arguably Mario 2, even though it's great). Miyamoto admitted this, and he's got BIG plans. IGN.com June 20, 2003 - The latest issue of Japan's Nintendo Dream magazine is apparently home to good news for Mario fanatics who were a bit disappointed with Mario Sunshine. According to the magazine, Nintendo's upcoming Mario 128 title is being built around a new idea that's never before been seen in a game. Apparently, Nintendo refrained from putting the title on display at E3 in order to prevent it from being stolen. Nintendo development grand daddy Shigeru Miyamoto has gone on record (with Japan's Playboy magazine, of all things) stating that Mario 128 will feature a freshness that was lacking from Mario Sunshine. We presume this is what he was referring to. We'll be back with more as soon as we learn it. |

that game sounds very interesting.. nintendo always outdone themselves in some ways when it comes to the mario games, and i think nintendo and miyamoto have done a pretty good job making the games 3d and all with mario 64 and mario sunshine, and still making the games have some fun gameplay, but to me, mario is always best in 2d.. call me old fashioned...but that's how i feel. has anybody played the bonus 2d side-scrolling mario type game on the smash brothers game for gamecube..it's really good, you can play as mario and use swords and lightsabers, etc.. nintendo really should make an entire 2d mario game like that, similar to how i described it in my earlier post, using the best aspects of the other games.. they can put in all the fancy-assed 3d cell-shaded graphics they want, but they will never be able to beat the gameplay of mario 1, 2, 3 and to a somewhat lesser extent, super mario world. |

Spammer! And I'm an old-schooler too... most of my favorite games are from SNES. But my favorite Mario game is Mario 64, that was the mid 90's version of 1985's Mario Bros., it was THAT influential and grounbreaking. And fun as hell, Banjo Kazooie and whatever other platformers since haven't topped it. Mario Sunshine was a hiccup, but it was still an AAA game. I'd like a new 2D Mario... but for GBA. I want them to put all their resources into a 3D Mario first... maybe have another development team working on a new 2D Mario for GBA. We haven't played a TRUE 2D Mario sequel since 1991! The Yoshi and Wario games are damn good though, 2D still has life. |
