ranking of marios 2 JP (マリオ ＞ メッリオ)

kotaku posted a terrible (imo) ranking of super mario games

the selection is arbitrary (bowser’s fury is on there for some reason, but no new super luigi u; yoshi’s island is included because it has “super mario world 2” in the title, but wario land: super mario land 3 is ignored, both mario maker games are here for some reason…)

here’s their list, because it’s in a despicable slideshow format which is truly obnoxious to read and is meant to artificially inflate their pageview counts. fuck kotaku lol, absolute garbage-tier internet

23. Super Mario Run
22. New Super Mario Bros. 2
21. New Super Mario Bros.
20. Super Mario Land
19. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
18. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
17. Super Mario 3D Land
16. New Super Mario Bros. U
15. Super Mario Maker
14. Super Mario Bros. 2 (Lost Levels)
13. Super Mario Maker 2
12. Super Mario Bros.
11. Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA)
10. Bowser's Fury
09. Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
08. Super Mario Sunshine
07. Super Mario Odyssey
06. Super Mario 3D World
05. Super Mario 64
04. Super Mario Galaxy
03. Super Mario Galaxy 2
02. Super Mario Bros. 3
01. Super Mario World

so, a few things i wanted to shit on here. putting 64 below galaxy and galaxy 2 is unconscionable. both are legitimately poor 3D mario games and should be near the bottom of the list. sunshine is enjoyable, but massively, massively, unavoidably flawed and should be much, much lower. SMB2/USA should, under no circumstances, ever be ahead of SMB1, like… what? the mario maker games don’t even belong on this list, how can you realistically compare them to any of this other shit?

anyway just wanted to rant about this for a moment, thank you for your time.

Placing Super Mario Bros. in the dead center of a best Mario games list is a crime imo

a popular gaming website made a mareo ranking with astonishingly poor opinions? sounds like this thread could finally use a sequel!

i think counting super mario maker makes sense given that they think world is better than smb3, since the maker games are chock-full of levelmakers who DEFINITELY agree

Really want someone to write a sincere justification of why smb2j appears between the two Mario maker games. Like what on earth is even the basis for comparison in this case

is bowsers fury actually good

I played a significant amount of 3D Land, 3D World, and Odyssey, to what I would characterize as politely diminishing returns, though I basically enjoyed them all and they were a massive improvement on the previous decade
