|Great game, considering what [[Nintendo]] had to work with at the time. I've actually taken kind of a liking to the [[Fake Bowser|Bowser Impostors]], though they could use a little more diversity when it comes to attacks. For example, some of them could maybe have shot heat-seeking fireballs. Another complaint is the small variety of [[List of power-ups|items]]. I think of this game as kind of a prototype and [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] is the real deal, since it was many steps up from this game.

|Now here is a game well worthy of praise. It introduced the [[Koopalings]] and a huge host of items (some still exclusive to it), not to mention some new moves and a map. I like the world themes and how [[Bowser]] doesn't kidnap the [[Princess Peach|princess]] until the end. However, though the game has far better boss battles than Super Mario Bros., they are still rather weak.

|Well, I like it, but it's very different from other [[Mario (franchise)|Mario]] games.

|Not much of step up from Super Mario Bros. 3, but I still like it. The Koopalings' colors got very screwed up and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]] should have been fought last. Also, there could have been more differences between boss battles. I like the addition of a [[Special Zone|secret world]] and the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. But the reason I give it four Stars is because of the introduction of one of my favorite characters: [[Yoshi]]!

|Some people may think otherwise, but I didn't like this game. The plot seems pretty decent and I like [[Smithy]], but the graphics are kind of strange and I don't like the turn-based battles in it, though that's really just me (I don't think I'd like the battles in [[Paper Mario]] either).

|The first Mario 3D platformer and boy, is it amazing! A huge number of missions, great boss battles, the introduction of [[Princess Peach's Castle]], incredible music, and on and on! However, like all games, it has its downs. I know it was the first 3D Mario game, but I'm still going to complain about the camera and the small-ish levels.

|I've only played a little bit of this game. The courses are some of the best, but the graphics aren't very good and make it hard to play.

|[[File:Luigi's Mansion Box.png|150px]]

|I love this game. It was time for [[Luigi]] to get a starring role. Stunning a ghost and sucking it up gives exhilaration and satisfaction I can't explain! Some people don't like the short length, but I kind of like it. That way if I don't do too well, I can go back again to get more gold frames and more money. I have beat it twice. The second time, I lit up every room in the mansion. My only complaint is that it can get tense at times and I have to take a break.

|I don't really remember this game very well, it's been so long. But I do remember that I liked it, so I'm giving it three [[Super Star|Stars]]

|A great remake. A like the addition of playable characters besides Mario and of new Stars. The graphics are more pixelated than the original, but still better. However, the extra Stars make for extra gameplay before the final battle with Bowser and Bowser's entrance in the original as far more dramatic.

|[[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]]

|[[File:Mario Kart DS Box (North America).png|150px]]

|Not the best Mario Kart game. The graphics could have been better and the drifting doesn't work as well. But when there's no other Mario Kart around, I'll play it.

|Ah, a callback to the classic NES games. Good concepts, power-ups and boss battles, but none of the music is really noteworthy. I wonder if anyone was expecting Dry Bowser!

|[[File:MPDSNA.jpg|150px]]

|A pretty good game. There could have been more boards, but I do like the ones that there are and the boss battles are the best of any Mario Party game. I especially like the Boss Battle music. As with all other Mario Party games, multiplayer offers more than single player.

|Now here's an RPG I like. The battles in the Mario & Luigi series are more engaging and give me more of the feel that I'm fighting something. It keeps you on your toes. I have to pay close attention to which Bro. is being targeted or whether an enemy is going to try and trick me into jumping or something that will harm me. The plot starts out kind of goofy, but soon changes to a darker story. It's probably the best plot in the series. [[Fawful|I HAVE FURY!]]

NOW WHY DID NINTENDO MAKE A SEQUEL FOR STICKER STAR AND NOT THIS????!!!!!

|What's not to love? It's the perfect mix of linear and exploration-based 3D gameplay, it's got great boss battles and unparalleled music, as well as the best plot out of the 3D platformers. My only complaint is some difficulty, but that's just because I'm not as good as some.

|This is a great game. I love the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]], but this one was maybe the best. Great cast and a cool storyline, though I haven't actually played it.

|Best Mario Kart game yet. The menu music is cool, the menu itself is cool, I like how the different files are drivers licenses and the courses are awesome.

|[[File:Mariobox-noscale.jpg|150px]]

|Amazing game. A worthy successor. Awesome new items, the introduction to co-op gameplay, and the return of the Koopalings. Co-op mode is great, but sometimes unruly. An accident can leave someone with one less life, which starts a fight (at least in my home).

|[[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]]

|[[File:Smg2boxart.png|150px]]

|A great sequel, but the first was better. The music wasn't quite as good and neither was the plot (it didn't have that amazing cutscene at the end that the first one did). However, I do like Starship Mario and the new power-ups.

|Not quite as good as Wii. The graphics were decent, the courses were good, and kart customization was a really cool concept, but overall, Wii was just better. (Honey Queen? Wiggler? Come on!)

|[[File:SM3DL UScover.png|150px]]

|Decent game, put it just doesn't compare to ''64'' or ''Galaxy''. It's essentially a ''New Super Mario Bros.'' game with 3D graphics. The bosses are kind of disappointing. There's not a lot of variety. The Koopalings should have been in it.

|An amazing game, but it doesn't offer too much more than Wii. I like the connecting maps and boss battles. But the thing that I like most about this game is the final battle with Bowser. Finally, Mario fights Giant Bowser head-on instead of running away!

|[[File:Box NA - Super Mario 3D World.png|150px]]

|I liked this game. We were able to beat it pretty fast, but then there's a bunch of bonus worlds. However, I much prefer exploration/puzzle-based gameplay. I also feel like it should have had the Koopalings.

|[[File:Box NA - Mario Kart 8.jpg|150px]]

|Really fun game, but still not as good as Wii. I like the anti-gravity and the new items, but it doesn't have nearly as many characters. I was very upset when I found out Bowser Jr, didn't appear at all.

|[[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]][[File:StarMK8.png|20px|link=]]

|[[File:SSBWiiU NA Boxart.png|150px]]

|I can't decide which is better this or Brawl. I'm not sure why there isn't a story mode. I like the new characters (Bowser Jr. is my signature character), but I notice that not everyone from Brawl returned. The name is a little weird. Kind of unimaginative and it doesn't go along with the other names (Melee, Brawl).

|Some (or maybe a lot) were disappointed in this game, but I think it was pretty good...when you ignore the loss of a story mode! Why are you drifting away from story, Nintendo?!

There's not as many course elements as I would like. Ground should shake into slopes and [[Dry Bones]] should turn int [[Mechakoopa|Mechakoopas]]. The biggest thing I want is boss battles. More work goes into them than it should. Someone should be able to tap Bowser and bring up a menu similar to the Mystery Mushroom's which lists Bowser, [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Boom Boom]] and of course, the Koopalings.
