i think the only Mario [platform] games that donāt work for me are in the New Super Mario Bros. subseries. im curious about NSMB2 and its coin score attack hook (even tho that seems like it should be more of a Wario thing?) and i havenāt actually played NSMBU, but the first one is competent yet boring and the Wii one is built for multiplayer but actively unfun to play that way ime because you constantly bonk into and bounce off one another. And itās aesthetically barren, itās 3D modeled Mario hold the charm. itās what if we just kept doing the N64 thing for its own sake
at baseline tho anything Mario has my attention because, as this thread has already highlighted, it has such perfect cute flavor. Like, the best most righteously iconic bestiary in a platformer series. Is anything more essential than a goomba, is anyone more creepy-cute than a shy guy. Is Bowser hot or what

We all have our sins. Even I have some. I donāt care for Mario kart at all and I think that Mario 64 is only ok

marioās best design work is nearly too good. across several titles, it bent nearly every (relevant/adjacent) branch of game design, in particular;
donkey kong - what the fuck
super mario bros - what the fuck!?
super mario bros 3 - oh shit what the fuck
super mario world- ohhhhh shit what the fuck
super mario 64 - god damn what the fuck dude
those are some qing shit games. like what the fuck
imo heās been riding off the brilliance of those titles for a rather long time, but i mean. come on. them shits is bangers
ā¦but yeah itās kinda too influential and like anything that hits a certain critical mass the brilliance is obscured by familiarity and mundanity

I played a lot of these late in life and well after their release which undoubtedly waters them down but 64 is still good shit. Magical game.
I think Kirby and Wario were more influential to me in terms of growing up with platformers and developing my sensibilities. Particularly powerups constituting a paradigm shift rather than being a way to prolong life with a little bonus action.

I think my very first experience with a mario game (64) sorta sums up my feelings on the series in general. I mean I was like 5 years old, but I still basically feel the same way to this day
I just wanted to do fun jumps around the courtyard, didnāt like the restrictiveness of the levels, eventually wasted so much time just trying to escape the courtyard
I remember once I tried the 2D ones, I was sorta shocked to realise that the linear obstacle course parts was how the whole series startedā¦ like that was the selling point!
Funnily enough, out of all the 2D ones, I tend to have the most time for Donkey Kong for game boy ā¦ Maybe cuz mario is just as acrobatic (if not more so?) as in 64 and the levels feel a lil little looser in designā¦ Not so much linear obstacle courses as like a little single screen playsets to dink around in

What are your thoughts on the first Mario VS Donkey Kong?

Almost feels like the levels are a lot more straightforward and restrictive than the first game? Less of that playset feeling, more āplease solve this puzzle for meāā¦ Not as big on that. I like the weird almost-voice acting in the cutscenes though

Iām pretty sure my first exposure to Mario was watching my older brother play Super Mario All-Stars and we had the version that had World on it too. I didnāt play games at that time and World in particular seemed to have all sorts of neat stuff to see. I was very drawn to all the different colored yoshis
