Hello there. My name is Yoshi155. Though you probably already know that based on the name of this page. I have a Nookipedia account, something else you can clearly see. My first video game ever was actually a Mario game: New Super Mario Bros. 2. But I'll get more into that in a different section. When it comes to Mario, I'm not really as well versed as in Animal Crossing, ESPECIALLY when it comes to spin-offs and most 3D games. Because of that, it's a lot harder to find things to edit than on Nookipedia, where I know every bit of trivial information. But that doesn't discourage me from trying my best wherever I can help! Thanks for making it this far into my page (even though it hasn't been that far). Time to get into more interesting things.

History with Mario
Like I said before, New Super Mario Bros. 2 was my first Mario game. The next game I got was Super Mario 3D Land. This happened when my old 3DS broke and I lost my original NSMB2 cartridge so when I got to buy a new one, I wanted to pick a game that I’d never played before. Unrelated, but one of the games there was OoT 3D, and I wonder how different I’d be right now if I happened to pick that game. But that’s unimportant. I like SM3DL, except I sucked at the game so I had to use baby mode assist items. And my file is the same one from then, so I’ll never be able to get sparkling stars, but oh well. Then, a few months later I started viewing things about NSMB2 again and decided “hey, that game does look kind of cool, maybe I should play it again”. I did. Then I bought Super Mario Maker for 3DS, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, M&LBISBJJ, MK7, and, actually, I’m going to stop listing them. You get the point though, right? I love Mario games. So let’s move onto the next section, shall we?

Rating every Mario game. (That I’ve played)
What’s going to be going on here should be pretty self explanatory. I’ll be ranking every Mario game I’ve played on a scale of 1/10 to 10/10. And every time I play a new one, I’ll give a new ranking. Oh boy, this is going to be fun…

Like I said twice, this was my first game ever. I used to love it, but now I definitely see the flaws. I still don’t get the hate. It is very unoriginal and doesthings that I think are kind of stupid. Like why would they remove spin jumping? I get that there's no motion controls, but NSMBU lets you spin jump with the L R buttons. Also, I like the secret worlds, but why did they change it from the last two games? Now there's only two normal forest levels outside (combined into the beach world) and one mountain level (combined into the sky world) outside of secret worlds. And there really should be more power ups, and they should have kept the ones from New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Also the music is mostly unoriginal, except for the overworld and athletic themes having vocals and the music that plays in a warp cannon stage before entering the cannon, and the rainbow course music, and probably a few others. At least the stage music is pretty good. It's a good game, but I think the NSMB series steadily decreases in quality each entry. 7/10.

Another underrated game. It doesn't have much that stands out when compared to other 3D Mario games, which is probably the contributing factor to this. Despite this, and the lower difficulty, I was still finding myself entertained playing this game. Let's not forget that there's 8 more worlds after beating the game. And just like SMG2, there’s a hard challenge after beating everything. A fun game, so I'll give it a nice 8/10. How will its sequel hold up, though?

A game I actually don't think is that good. It’s Super Mario Maker except that it's handheld. So because of that, they removed a lot of features like the mystery mushroom and literally the ability to upload levels. What is the point of the game if they're going to make it so much harder for other people to even play your stages? Also I was really bad at making stages when I got the game, but I do have to give it the fact that it introduced me to the series. That doesn’t save it from a low 4/10.

Confession time: I never actually finished this game. I’m on Neo Bowser Castle, but I just left it there for so long. I have to say that this game's music is really good. But that is just a Mario thing in general, isn’t it? There's one thing I don’t like about the game, but I can’t say it due to spoilers (despite the game coming out like a decade ago), so I'll give the game a 7/10. A pretty good game, but I really dislike something I can't specify about the ending.

My first (Mario) game on Switch. Because of this, for some time all I could do on my Switch was play this game. It was really fun. The gameplay is also pretty good. There's good music and bosses. I just wish Mario wasn’t forced to be on your team. 8/10.

This game is… kind of disappointing. The new music is, in my opinion, mostly worse than the original game's soundtrack. Obviously higher quality, but it just isn’t nearly as good. Another thing I don’t like is that they changed the title music. And no, adding all of those new themes doesn't make up for it. Let's stop talking about music for a second. The new side mode is just the one from Superstar Saga DX but with Bowser Jr., and the one from that game isn't even that good to begin with. They also skipped Partners in Time for some reason. But there is one thing that is just awful about the game. Why would they release it on the 3DS when DS games can literally already work on it? It's not like Superstar Saga Deluxe, because that game actually originated on a console that isn’t compatible with the 3DS. It's even worse because the Switch was almost two years old, so it would have made so much sense to release it there instead. Even though I like the 3DS more, the Switch was so much more popular than it, especially during this time period. This game is usually blamed for being the leading cause of Alphadream's bankruptcy, and I can kind of see why. But I’ve been way too harsh on this game. After all, it is the way I experienced this game for the first time, and that does make it pretty good. There's some things that are improved, such as being able to leave battles whenever you want, or polishing things, like making the carrot minigame actually possible. And the graphics are obviously way better, especially now that Giant Bowser battles actually use 3D models (and don't require you to blow into the mic to breathe fire). This game is a 5/10. Why couldn’t they just release it on the console that wasn't already on its way out?

This game is really good. There's so many possibilities for good stages. Of course not everyone uses them to make good stages, but still. It has a story mode as an improvement to the original, and you can make Super Worlds. But there's still some things missing that really shouldn't be. Obviously, the worst offender is that nothing happens in the NSMBU style when there's a “bah” in a song. But as for things that are a little less heinous, why aren't ice flowers in the game? Or penguin suits? Beach should be a theme, and so should Volcano. Those aren't the only ones, but they're the first ones that come to mind. But I like what the game does have, so 8/10.

Ah, yes. NSMBU and NSLU combined. They'll be ranked individually. NSMBU is pretty rehashed, which is typical for an NSMB game. Unlike NSMB2, there is a normal new power-up introduced: the Super Acorn. There's also the P-Acorn, but that's not important. Still, there's some things that could have been better. Like, why is NSMB2 World 3-B the only stage (to my knowledge) where Mini mushrooms is used other than for secrets? Why not here? Also, most secrets are not nearly as hidden as before. And WHY CAN'T I STACK 99 PENGUIN SUITS ANYMORE???? The Koopalings are at least really unique. Like I said, each NSMB game seems to have gotten steadily worse, so 6/10. Forget what I just said about the NSMB series for NSLU. This game’s amazing. There's way more difficulty and uniqueness. You can't even use Mario until the game is beaten. But at this point, they should have just made the plot to rescue Daisy instead. After all, at this point she'd only been seen in one mainline Mario game. Still this game gets a 8/10.

I always heard that people disliked this game, and do I understand that now? Well, no. I've never really understood the hate for this game. Sure, Mario Party Superstars is better, but I always though this game was good. There should definitely be more maps to play on, but still. The graphics are really good, and the food in the game actually looks tasty. I really dislike the raft mode. But besides that, this game 7/10.

I'm not actually the biggest Mario Kart fan. I have three MK games, but it's not really my preferred Mario series. This game is pretty good. The tracks it adds are good, especially the new rainbow road and it's music. I barely have anything because I totally suck at it, but I still like the game. 7/10.

Mario Kart, but at the touch of your finger. This was actually my first Mario Kart game, and from when I got it until about early 2022, I was completely hooked. I finished every tour and wanted to unlock every characters. And I hoarded rubies to get characters. But nowadays, I don’t really play the game that much. I barely ever finish tours and the only reason I have so many rubies is because I'm never on the game to use them. The worst thing about this game is very obvious, which is the micro transactions. But this is kind of a given for any mobile game. There's even two Kirby games on normal consoles with them. But I digress. Anyway, they started to make the microtransactions get a little less worse. Now there's not as much randomization. But if you look past everything that you can pay for with real money, it's a good game that was unfortunately placed on a device known for games with microtransactions. But unlike a lot of mobile games, this game isn't a cheap cash grab. It's clear there's actual effort put into the game as it still receives a new tour every two weeks. So because of this, it’s an 8/10.

This is the second out of the three Mario mobile games that currently exist. It has microtransactions, but I can't really remember how horrible they were. I would check the game to see, if it weren’t for one small issue. The game was discontinued, sadly. I don't really remember how good this game really was. I just remember constantly getting stuck on levels. The best way I can describe it is if Dr. Mario had a baby with Candy Crush. Then, unfortunately, the baby died in a car crash and only Dr. Mario and Candy Crush survived. What a weird metaphor. Anyway, this game also has a lot of artwork for enemies and characters, which I really like. But from what I can remember, I didn't check on this game too often. 6/10.

I can't give this game an amazing rating because of one major issue. To even play anything past the first world, you have to pay $10. $10. There may not be any other microtransactions, but still. I never actually experienced the full game because I never had money in my account. And not only that, but there's no “bahs” in songs, so no more Koopa dancing or Goombas jumping. This is so disgusting that I can't even play the game with this knowledge. Okay, but for an actually serious complaint, worlds are really short and either end with Boom Boom or Bowser, which I only know from video footage. There's only four stages in a world, and there's only six worlds. And if you don't pay, then don't expect to have fun, because there's not much else to do. 5/10.
