Platform games consist of going through levels to reach a goal. The majority of ''Mario'' games fit under this category. This genre can be divided into two sub-genres; Sidescrollers and three-dimensional platformers. Sidescrollers are the most common type of platform game and usually allow travel in only one or two directions. Three-dimensional platformers allow travel in any direction and usually consist of the newer ''Mario'' platform games. A sidescroller may have three-dimensional graphics, like ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', but it is still classified as a sidescroller. | Platform games consist of going through levels to reach a goal. The majority of ''Mario'' games fit under this category.

The 3D platformers have a feature that brings up a menu of what star to get whenever Mario enters an area. The player can select a star they've gotten once before, and fight any of the bosses as many times as they want. | The 3D platformers have a feature that brings up a menu of what star to get whenever Mario enters an area (except [[Super Mario 3D Land]]).

Most [[Mario (series)|Mario]] platformers are part of the ''Super Mario'' series. The only exception is ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' which is the only platformer from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. | Most [[Mario (series)|Mario]] platformers are part of the ''Super Mario'' series.
