| | |August 22, 2021 |
| |More specifically, that guy on the [[Koopa Cruiser]] who teaches Mario & Luigi how to fight together. He sucks because he is a colossal troll. Forced tutorials are a pain in general, but this guy goes the extra mile by tricking you into thinking the tutorial is optional, then coming back and ''giving you the tutorial anyway''.

| |Despite supposedly being 55 years old, she has the maturity someone 50 years younger. The way she constantly calls Mario names like "Stompy" and "Mr. Squishy" despite him paying for a new contact lens after he accidentally stepped on hers is childish and obnoxious. Even after Mario goes out of his way to get her that legendary [[cookbook]] she so desperately wanted, she doesn't stop calling him names. Seriously?

| | |October 10, 2021 |
| |Pixls suck. They don't look cool, they add nothing of value to the game, and they're not a valid substitute for partners in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games. With the exception of [[Tippi]]/[[Tiptron]], they only ever speak when you first obtain them, and for the most part, the one time they do speak, they annoy the hell out of me. No [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]], I don't want to say "yes" to a bunch of random, increasingly ridiculous questions before obtaining you. The only ones that get a pass are Tippi/Tiptron (for being an actual character), [[Thudley]] (for actually being funny, even if he is useless), [[Carrie]] (for being the most useful Pixl and helping to mitigate one of [[Super Paper Mario|the game]]'s major flaws), and [[Cudge]] (making him shout profanity can be funny if you're not expecting him to shout your "motto"). | |

| |The other annoying ''DK64'' racer. No infuriating laugh this time, but a far more frustrating race, which, unlike the Beetle's, got no easier after I got older. Even worse, you have to ''rescue him'' from a [[TNT Barrel]] in another level. I don't want to rescue him, I just want him to blow the hell up! | |

| | |August 8, 2022 |
| |Ugh. Aside from the usual issue with characters of this type (being bombarded with forced tutorials), her snotty personality jacks up her obnoxiousness levels into the millions. Almost every time she opens her mouth, I want to punch her in the face. Though she became more tolerable in the later games, as far as I'm concerned, she'll never live down her [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|debut]], in which she has got to be the most loathsome, unlikable little puke ever to play the role of a tutorial giver in any video game I've played.

| |Officially, my least favorite ''Mario'' character ever. All he does is be a douche to Luigi for no good reason, then write it off as a "test" - what bull. Not to mention [[Toadbert]] and [[Kylie Koopa]] arriving at the [[Star Shrine]] on a [[Lakitu]] renders the whole scene pointless anyway. [[Baby Mario]] had the right idea whacking him with his hammer. | |

| !''[[Super Mario 64]]''
| | |September 3, 2022 |
| |My first video game and the beginning of my eternal ''Mario'' fandom. While the game is rather easy and the boss battles are a joke, I still enjoy revisiting it. | |
| |- | | |- |
| ![[File:Box NA Super Mario Sunshine.png|75px]]

| !''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''
| | |September 10, 2022 |
| |Another game I have fond memories of. Not the best 3D ''Mario'', but there's no other game in the series like it. Blue coins are a tedious chore though, and they stopped me from getting 100% for a long time.
| |
| |-
| |
| ![[File:Sm64ds.jpg|125px]]
| |
| !''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''
| |
| |''SM64'' was not meant to be played with a D-Pad, and it shows, but this remake easily makes up for that with the additional characters and missions, and to a lesser extent, the minigames. Playing it on a 3DS with the Circle Pad alleviates the control issue. As a Wario fan, I'm annoyed at how useless he is in this game. Also, why is Wario going on this adventure anyway? There's nothing in it for him, unless he has an undying love of cake that I didn't know about.
| |

| |
| !''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''
| |
| |Everybody and their grandma has praised the hell out of this game, and I don't exactly disagree with them. Great concept, visuals, design, soundtrack, etc. People overrate the difficulty of the [[Purple Coin]] missions. Honestly, my problem lies with the slow and tedious Purple Coin missions, not the fast-paced ones with the amazing music. [[Flying Mario]] is severely underutilized.
| |
| |-
| |
| ![[File:Smg2boxart.png|75px]]
| |
| !''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''
| |
| |The superior of the two ''Galaxy'' games in my eyes. This game takes what made the original great and polishes it to near perfection (there's no such thing as a perfect game to me). The levels are overall better and the "slow" Purple Coin missions are no more. The final boss is a joke and a half though.
| |
| |-
| |
| ![[File:SM3DL_UScover.png|100px]]
| |
| !''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''
| |
| |A solid 3D platformer that mixes elements of 3D ''Mario'' with 2D ''Mario''. I liked the special worlds, even if they were mostly just harder versions of regular levels. I did NOT like, however, that it was necessary to complete every level with both Mario and Luigi to unlock [[Special 8-Crown]] and get 100%. That's just dumb.
| |
| |- | |
| ![[File:Box_NA_-_Super_Mario_3D_World.png|75px]]
| |
| !''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''
| |
| |''3D World'' does with ''3D Land'' what ''Galaxy 2'' did with ''Galaxy 1''; takes what made that game good and makes it even better. However, 100% completion has gotten even more ridiculous with each level needing to be completed with FIVE characters. Seriously, stop that. Also, I've noticed that 3D ''Mario'' has gotten gradually more linear over the years. While the linear games are good, I'd like to see a return to the more open ''64''/''Sunshine'' style.

| !''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''
| |
| |I've beaten this game more times than I can count. That has a lot to do with the unfortunate short length of the game, but also a lot to do with the fact that I really enjoy playing it. It's gameplay and atmosphere are unlike any other ''Mario'' game (aside from the sequel) and it introduces [[King Boo|one of my favorite ''Mario'' villains]]. An excellent first starring role for the man in green. (What is this "''[[Mario is Missing]]''" you speak of?)

| !''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''
| |
| |''Luigi's Mansion'' needed a sequel, and [[Next Level Games]] delivers. The gameplay and atmosphere are as good as the original and the length issue is fixed. I also enjoyed the multiplayer mode despite its glitches. One thing that bothered me though, was the lack of [[Portrait Ghost]]s or anything like them. The fact that they were people with backstories and personalities who died added a sense of depth to the setting that ''Dark Moon'' lacks.

| |A highly memorable RPG and the game that got me into ''Mario'' RPGs. It has one of the best soundtracks in the ''Mario'' series, and that's saying a lot. It starts really slow though, thanks to the inability to use action commands until the end of the prologue. | | |No consensus |

| |Even better than the first game, featuring a less standard plot and more character development. The art style and atmosphere are great and the soundtrack rivals the original. One of the ''Mario'' franchise's most shining moments, and unlike its successor, it actually deserves its praise. None of the ''Paper Mario'' games that followed even came close to its level of excellence. | | |rowspan=4|Passed |

| |Excellent soundtrack just like the previous games and a wonderfully creative gameplay mechanic in the form of 3D [[flip]]ping. Both severely undermined by the game's sluggish pacing, numerous instances of terrible level ideas and design ([[Merlee's Mansion#Chapter 2-3: Breaking the Bank|2-3]], [[Downtown of Crag|5-1]], [[Sammer's Kingdom]], [[Underwhere Road|7-2]], etc.), the replacement of [[partner]]s with the much lamer [[Pixl]]s, and overall lack of everything I liked about the first two games. The game picks up at around Chapter 3, but starts declining in quality again once Chapter 5 and ESPECIALLY Chapter 6 come. Overall a mediocre game whose appeal I don't and will likely never understand.

| |''Super Paper Mario'' tried too hard to be ''Paper Mario'' and failed. ''Sticker Star'' goes wrong in the opposite direction by throwing everything people like about the series out the window. That said, I don't hate it. I did however, hate the unintuitiveness of some of the puzzles; I paid multiple visits to GameFAQs before finishing this game. | |

| |Basically, ''Sticker Star: The Good Version''. Many of ''Sticker Star'''s flaws are patched up here, though the game still shares its almost complete lack of original characters and overabundance of generic [[Toad (species)|Toad]] NPCs. It's environments are more interesting than its predecessor's generic ''NSMB''-fare, and the puzzles are more intuitive; not once did I need to use GameFAQs. My favorite area is probably the [[Green Energy Plant]]; I really liked its creative use of ''SMB3'' nostalgia alongside the 3-D flipping mechanic from ''SPM''.
