Welcome to my userpage, I am '''MiracleDinner''', a young gamer who loves the [[Mario franchise]]. I became a user on Mario Wiki because I found it entertaining and wanted to help, and wanted to create this userpage as well.
'''MiracleDinner''' is an active user of the Super Mario Boards community.
 
==About me==
I'm a 20 year old user from the United Kingdom with a huge interest in the Mario franchise and several other things. I study Mathematics at university. I've been playing Mario since early childhood and joined the online community in 2019.
 
==Mario RPGs==
[[File:Super_Paper_Mario_EUR_cover.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', my first and favourite Mario RPG]]
I am a huge fan of the Mario RPGs and in particular I love the first three [[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]] games and the first four [[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]] games. I value the story and characters above all else but there are also other things I like about these games. I would say that the order in which I like the games from favourite to least favourite is as follows (bear in mind that as my opinions can shift this may be inconsistent with other lists I have posted in the past):
 
1. '''[[Super Paper Mario]]''': Played since I was very young and has always been my favourite Mario RPG as well as my favourite game of all time. Like most fans of the game, I like it most of all because of its story and characters but I also loved a lot of other things about the game, such as the music and gameplay. Of course, it's also an extremely nostalgic game at this point.


I may go deeper into blogging/vlogging so will link to my pages here if I do so.
2. '''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''': I started playing this game age 15 and at the time it was my third Mario RPG and the first new one (to me) in many years so it was a very refreshing change and it lived completely up to all the hype the Paper Mario community had given it that inspired me to get the game, although I retain the unpopular opinion that it is bested by its successor, ''Super Paper Mario''. Everything about this game is great, the battle system, the story, the music, the artstyle, etc. This is my second favourite game of all time.


'''Warning: Page contains spoilers for Super Paper Mario, Paper Mario TTYD, Bowser's Inside Story.'''
3. '''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''': Great story and characters and amazing music and the gameplay is pretty great too, overall it has everything I want in a M&L game (besides Fawful), and is nearly the perfect sequel to BIS imo. The Dream World was awesome but not quite as much fun as Bowser in BIS.


==A brief history of me playing ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''==
4. '''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''': Also very nostalgic as like Super Paper Mario I have been playing this game since I was very young and like TTYD it is a very well refined game in almost all respects. However I prefer TTYD and Dream Team due to having a better story and battle system in my opinion.
I grew up with the [[Wii]] and the [[Nintendo DS]] Lite as my first consoles when I was young.


I forget which exactly was my first Mario game but it was ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' which truly attracted me to the ''Mario'' franchise. Perhaps I took it for granted intially, but I was fascinated by the epic-scale space adventure, with excellent gameplay and level design. Christmas 2011 comes around and I get to choose two out of three games: ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. I go for the first two. Christmas day, I pop in NSMBW and I'm hooked for days. Then I see someone else playing SPM and I get really interested in the [[Flip]] mechanic.
5. '''[[Paper Mario 64]]''': I liked it because it was quite like TTYD and had many of the same admirable qualities like a good battle system and a lot of great characters. However I feel that it is a dated game in some ways such as graphics, music, and I also feel the overworld gameplay and battle system both felt a lot less... smooth than BIS and TTYD.


I then play SPM the next day and I am in pure wonder. The story was nothing like I had ever seen before and the gameplay was really unique and cool (I know a lot of people complain about that but I wasn't into deep, turn-based RPGs back then, and this was my first Mario RPG so I wasn't biased against it.) For the next few months I loved it, playing it whenever I could, until I finished it a few months later, which was truly amazing. Having loved it so much, I then go through the whole game a second time, only this time to get stuck at the [[Castle Bleck Entry]]. In fact, at this point I wanted to leave it so that I could forget and return to it later. Which on the large part is actually what I did. In the meantime, I also got to play ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' 1, which I have always loved to a similar degree as its sequel. I did actually get to play [[BIS]] in the end, which I liked a lot, but not nearly to the same degree as SPM. The next few years was mostly just me playing the same Mario games over, being the ones I already mentioned but also ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' DS, ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', and I also discovered Minecraft in that time which was truly a revelation for my gaming life.
6. '''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''': The second Mario and Luigi game I played after BIS, and it was a great throwback and really cool to see so many similarities that I never thought I'd see in another game (growing up I had no idea about the other Mario RPGs besides SPM and BIS). It was especially a treat to see Fawful again. The story and characters were good and the music was amazing.


2017 was when my ''Mario'' life started to shift, as I one day decided to look up "[[Bestovius]]" into Bing, and Mario Wiki pops up. I open it, and my love for ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' floods back to me. I also watched some Let's Plays of SPM alongside the other Mario games I owned. At that point I forgot most of my memories around SPM, so I came back for a third playthrough and this time, due to my more adult mentality, I was more able to appreciate the story and artistic elements of the game, which I admire still. I also got to complete the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials|Pits of]] [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials|100 Trials]] for the first time as previously I was allowed only 1 hour a day, though sadly I had seen online spoilers about [[Wracktail]] and [[Shadoo]] by that point.
7. '''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''': Close between this and Superstar Saga, as this too was a cool throwback to the M&Ls I had played by that point. I found the gameplay significantly improved from Superstar Saga and although it didn't rival BIS it was still good in its own right. The story was pretty good but I felt the music was a lot less interesting than Superstar Saga or Bowser's Inside Story.


It was also around that time that I learned that SPM was not just a game on its own as I had earlier assumed, but rather the third of a [[Paper Mario (series)|pentology]] of RPGs. I learned of a previous ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' game, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]'', which was at least as acclaimed as SPM. That Christmas, I asked for a Gamecube and a copy of TTYD, and at that point the game cost £60+ ($72.53+), but it was worth it. I adored it in much the same way as SPM, but not quite to the same extent. I found the story and presentation elements weaker than SPM's but still exceptional, and as different as the gameplay was it had the same sense of uniqueness and I enjoyed it a lot as well. Again, I had internet spoilers at the time so I already knew about the [[Shadow Queen]] possessing [[Peach]] and so forth, but it was still amazing to see it unfold (pun intended) in front of me. I also played ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' on my Gamecube, which I liked a little but nowhere near to the same degree as the [[Super Mario Galaxy|Galaxy]] [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|games]]. At that point, I wanted to play the first ''[[Paper Mario]]'' (which I like to call "Paper Mario 64", "Paper Mario 1", "PM64", "PM1", etc. to avoid confusion with the [[Paper Mario (series)|series]], the [[Paper Mario (character)|character]], or the [[Paper Mario (stage)|stage]]). Due to the closure of the Wii Shop Channel, I couldn't get it on my Wii, so I planned to ask for a [[Wii U]] that Christmas. However, the prices of them online was steadily increasing so to save money I bought one more immediately. I have bought PM64 now but am yet to play it. I have played ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' on my Wii U which I like more than [[Super Mario Sunshine|Sunshine]] but less than [[Super Mario Galaxy|Galaxy]] or [[Galaxy 2]]. I would like to play many more games on my Wii U, such as ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.
8. '''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''': I think the story and characters are good but I find the gameplay and graphics really drag it down for me and I don't like the music either. In particular, I feel that the battle system is much better refined in later games and the overworld gameplay lacks the fun features found in later games (such as the paper transformations in TTYD or the babies in PIT). Overall I like the game at least a little but I don't love it.


It was also around this time I returned to [[BIS]], which I have decided I love even more than before. I tried ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' on my Wii U, which I completed over the summer and enjoyed very much, so bought a [[New Nintendo 3DS XL]] (which actually transpired to be an older 3DS XL but despite my right to a refund I decided to keep it anway) in order to try the rest of the [[Mario & Luigi series]]. I have not yet played them, but in the meantime I have enjoyed playing Super Mario Land [[Super Mario Land|1]] & [[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|2]] and my old DS games, as some of the buttons on my old DS have worn down, making gameplay difficult (but still possible.)
9. '''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''': I actually like the battle system but otherwise I dislike CS, I'm particuarly discontented that the game lacks interesting characters and just has lookalike Toads everywhere.


Come the winter holidays I finally play Paper Mario 64 and it's amazing! I've not done with it yet but it's already very high on my list! For Christmas I got 3D World, Colour Splash, and Mario Party 6. I've only played 3D World but I love that one!
The order in which I first played these games was SPM -> BIS (when I was very young, fairly sure it was this way round but may have been the other way round) then TTYD -> M&L:SSS -> PM64 -> PIT -> SMRPG -> DT -> CS (during my mid to late teens.)


And, I also decided to become a user on Mario Wiki!
Mario RPGs I plan to play (in the order I plan to play them)


==Online names I use(d)==
1. '''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''': Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll have interesting characters from the two series but the gameplay looks interesting.

==Color system I use==
2. '''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''': Generally hated by the Paper Mario fanbase but I feel I wish to try it anyway.
*<font color=#FF0000> Red = (Would) Strongly like </font color>
*<font color=#FFA500> Orange = (Would) Moderately like </font color>
*<font color=#FFFF00> Yellow = (Would) Slightly like </font color>

*<font color=#8D38C9> Violet = (Would) Strongly dislike </font color>


(sometimes)
3. '''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''': Don't own a copy of the game at this point and being new it probably won't be cheap but I hope to get to play it one day.


*<font color=#D4A017> Gold = 1st favourite </font color>
I'd also love to get to play the remakes of [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|Superstar Saga]] and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|Bowser's Inside Story]] one day even though I've already played the originals because I love them that much.
*<font color=#COC0C0> Silver = 2nd favourite </font color>
*<font color=#CD7F32> Bronze = 3rd favourite </font color>


==Nintendo Consoles I own==
My favourite Mario RPG characters are [[Count Bleck|the]] [[Nastasia|main]] [[Dimentio|villains]] [[O'Chunks|of]] [[Mimi|SPM]] (including [[Mr. L]]), [[Vivian]], [[Fawful]], [[Cackletta]], [[Lady Bow]], [[TEC-XX]], the [[Shadow Queen]], [[Tippi]], [[Starlow]], [[Luvbi]], and [[Doopliss]]. I also feel many of the games contain great versions of characters who aren't exclusive or original to the Mario RPGs, such as [[Bowser]] in BIS and [[Baby Mario|the]] [[Baby Luigi|babies]] in PIT.

1. '''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''': Builds on its predecessors and brings everything to nigh perfection. The movement and open world exploration in this game was awesome, the capture mechanic was so cool, the graphics were so beautiful, it's got original characters, interesting settings, and has a better plot that most mainline Mario games.


==Nintendo Consoles I used to own but have since broken/become lost==
2. '''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''': My first 3D platformer is not only an excellent game as agreed on by most of the Mario community (and usually arguments against this game's quality argue that it's too similar to its predecessor, which, well, I played this first) but is very nostalgic.

==''Mario'' games I own==
3. '''[[Super Mario Galaxy 1]]''': Great for many of the same reasons but I feel its principle shortcomings in comparison to its successor is being a bit too easy and much less nostalgia. However the story was great (not Mario RPG level though.)
Color system indicates how much I like them. WiiUVC = Wii U Virtual Console copies and 3DSVC = 3DS Virtual Console copies, eShop = I own this game only per an official digital download, all other copies are physical discs/catridges.

==''Mario'' games I formerly owned==
4. '''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''': Played this when I was 16 and it was really cool how it was like the 2D Marios but in 3D. Its graphics and music were amazing and its gameplay was very well polished. I've only played the Wii U version and I'm not sure if I'll ever try its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|re-release]] on the [[Nintendo Switch]].
Color system indicates how strongly I would like them back.

===Upcoming===
5. '''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''': Great for most of the same reasons as SM3DW barring the graphics (I played SM3DW before SM3DL) and it was really cool to have it on handheld. However I found it too easy.
Maybe? Idk depends how good the story is. Please don't let me down Nintendo!

</gallery>


===Hypothetical===
6. '''[[Super Mario 64]]''': Played over the summer when I was 16 and though I didn't play it during "its time" it was a blast. I did like the open world style but I also felt some of the time that worked against it as for instance I'd often struggle, not knowing what to do. I did feel it was too hard. The music was quite good.
*Sequels to the following games:
:*<font color=FFFF00> Yoshi's New Island

:*Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

:*Nintendo Land </font color>
:*<font color=FF0000> Super Mario Galaxy 2
:*Super Mario Odyssey
:*Super Mario 3D World
:*Super Mario Party

:*Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (with a good story and original characters, unlike Paper Jam as I have heard)
:*Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
:*New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe </font color>
:*<font color=C0C0C0> Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (using the original format of the Paper Mario series, and with good story elements) </font color>
:*<font color=D4A017> Super Paper Mario  (using a similar gameplay format, excellent story elements, and possibly some connections story-wise to the original)</font color>


*Prequels to the following games:
7. '''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''': I did like this game but I feel it's my least favourite by far. Much too difficult, doesn't benefit from the open-ness nearly as much as 64, monotonous theming, didn't like the music very much, and I found many of the levels more frustrating than anything else. I did appreciate the story though.
:*<font color=FF0000>Super Mario Galaxy
===2D platformers===
:*Super Paper Mario
[[Super Mario Maker]] 1 was an amazing game and it was a dream come true to create and share my own Mario levels and to play the genius, and sometimes not so genius creations of others providing and endless supply of interesting Mario platforming. I'd love to play [[Super Mario Maker 2]] some day and I'd be delighted if Nintendo made a 3D Super Mario Maker or incorporated Super Paper Mario into the Maker series somehow (albeit the latter is a little unrealistic to hope for if I'm honest.)
:*Paper Mario 64
:*Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
:*Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga </font color>
:*<font color=FFFF00> Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam </font color>


*Remakes
That aside, I have played all four New Super Mario Bros. games, which I liked, and I have played ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' but find all of these three games to be very dated by comparison. I have also played ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' and [[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins|its sequel]] and I find that these games too are outdated and do not reach the quality of the NSMB series, but I do enjoy them more than SMB, SMB2, and SMB:TLL. Once I get Switch Online I'm possibly going to try [[SMW]] and [[SMB3]]
:*<font color=FF0000> Super Mario 64 HD

*Other
==Other Mario-related games==
:*<font color=FF0000> A Mario game with story elements akin to TTYD or SPM, but with gameplay akin to SMG or SMO
I own ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', which I do not like. I've also played [[Super Mario Kart]] once, which wasn't any better.
:*A mixture of experimental and traditional Mario RPGs, all with good stories and original and memorable characters.
:*A Donkey Kong RPG
:*A Donkey Kong Country / New Super Mario Bros. crossover
:*A <i>better</i> crossover of the Paper Mario series and the Mario & Luigi series, with a good story and which utilises original characters from both series as well as introducing new ones (I have heard that Paper Jam uses only main series characters and their paper doppelgangers barring Starlow and has a poor story.)
:*More 3D Donkey Kong games
:*A Mario Kart game with Mario RPG characters such as [[Cackletta]], [[Merlon]], or [[Prince Dreambert]].
:*A Mario RPG-based party game
:*A variant of Super Mario Maker which can create 3D platforming levels in the style of games such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Odyssey </font color>
:*<font color=CD7F32> A variant of Super Mario Maker which can create levels using Super Paper Mario's gameplay and style</font color>


==Mario characters I like/dislike==
I own ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', which I enjoy a little.
Color system indicates how much I like/dislike them. Paper doppelgangers are not counted separately since they only game in which they are presented concurrently is [[Paper Jam]], and their personalities and roles are more or less identical to their "real" counterparts. Baby versions of usually adult characters also not counted separately.


<gallery>
I own ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', and ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. MP9 and MP10 are great (MP9 is probably my favourite because it's the only one I grew up on) and MP6 is not bad.

I own [[Donkey Kong Country Returns|both]] [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|versions]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' which I love. I later also played [[Tropical Freeze]] which was great as well.

*I'm a huge fan of Teen Titans Go! with my favourite character being Starfire.

About me

I'm a 20 year old user from the United Kingdom with a huge interest in the Mario franchise and several other things. I study Mathematics at university. I've been playing Mario since early childhood and joined the online community in 2019.

Mario RPGs

European box art for Super Paper Mario.
Super Paper Mario, my first and favourite Mario RPG

I am a huge fan of the Mario RPGs and in particular I love the first three Paper Mario games and the first four Mario & Luigi games. I value the story and characters above all else but there are also other things I like about these games. I would say that the order in which I like the games from favourite to least favourite is as follows (bear in mind that as my opinions can shift this may be inconsistent with other lists I have posted in the past):

1. Super Paper Mario: Played since I was very young and has always been my favourite Mario RPG as well as my favourite game of all time. Like most fans of the game, I like it most of all because of its story and characters but I also loved a lot of other things about the game, such as the music and gameplay. Of course, it's also an extremely nostalgic game at this point.

2. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: I started playing this game age 15 and at the time it was my third Mario RPG and the first new one (to me) in many years so it was a very refreshing change and it lived completely up to all the hype the Paper Mario community had given it that inspired me to get the game, although I retain the unpopular opinion that it is bested by its successor, Super Paper Mario. Everything about this game is great, the battle system, the story, the music, the artstyle, etc. This is my second favourite game of all time.

3. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team: Great story and characters and amazing music and the gameplay is pretty great too, overall it has everything I want in a M&L game (besides Fawful), and is nearly the perfect sequel to BIS imo. The Dream World was awesome but not quite as much fun as Bowser in BIS.

4. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: Also very nostalgic as like Super Paper Mario I have been playing this game since I was very young and like TTYD it is a very well refined game in almost all respects. However I prefer TTYD and Dream Team due to having a better story and battle system in my opinion.

5. Paper Mario 64: I liked it because it was quite like TTYD and had many of the same admirable qualities like a good battle system and a lot of great characters. However I feel that it is a dated game in some ways such as graphics, music, and I also feel the overworld gameplay and battle system both felt a lot less... smooth than BIS and TTYD.

6. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga: The second Mario and Luigi game I played after BIS, and it was a great throwback and really cool to see so many similarities that I never thought I'd see in another game (growing up I had no idea about the other Mario RPGs besides SPM and BIS). It was especially a treat to see Fawful again. The story and characters were good and the music was amazing.

7. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time: Close between this and Superstar Saga, as this too was a cool throwback to the M&Ls I had played by that point. I found the gameplay significantly improved from Superstar Saga and although it didn't rival BIS it was still good in its own right. The story was pretty good but I felt the music was a lot less interesting than Superstar Saga or Bowser's Inside Story.

8. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars: I think the story and characters are good but I find the gameplay and graphics really drag it down for me and I don't like the music either. In particular, I feel that the battle system is much better refined in later games and the overworld gameplay lacks the fun features found in later games (such as the paper transformations in TTYD or the babies in PIT). Overall I like the game at least a little but I don't love it.

9. Paper Mario: Color Splash: I actually like the battle system but otherwise I dislike CS, I'm particuarly discontented that the game lacks interesting characters and just has lookalike Toads everywhere.

The order in which I first played these games was SPM -> BIS (when I was very young, fairly sure it was this way round but may have been the other way round) then TTYD -> M&L:SSS -> PM64 -> PIT -> SMRPG -> DT -> CS (during my mid to late teens.)

Mario RPGs I plan to play (in the order I plan to play them)

1. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam: Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll have interesting characters from the two series but the gameplay looks interesting.

2. Paper Mario: Sticker Star: Generally hated by the Paper Mario fanbase but I feel I wish to try it anyway.

3. Paper Mario: The Origami King: Don't own a copy of the game at this point and being new it probably won't be cheap but I hope to get to play it one day.

I'd also love to get to play the remakes of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story one day even though I've already played the originals because I love them that much.

My favourite Mario RPG characters are the main villains of SPM (including Mr. L), Vivian, Fawful, Cackletta, Lady Bow, TEC-XX, the Shadow Queen, Tippi, Starlow, Luvbi, and Doopliss. I also feel many of the games contain great versions of characters who aren't exclusive or original to the Mario RPGs, such as Bowser in BIS and the babies in PIT.

Super Mario series

3D platformers

Cosmic Cove Galaxy of Super Mario Galaxy 2

I love the 3D platformers of the Super Mario series, and have finally gotten to play them all. My favourite list is:

1. Super Mario Odyssey: Builds on its predecessors and brings everything to nigh perfection. The movement and open world exploration in this game was awesome, the capture mechanic was so cool, the graphics were so beautiful, it's got original characters, interesting settings, and has a better plot that most mainline Mario games.

2. Super Mario Galaxy 2: My first 3D platformer is not only an excellent game as agreed on by most of the Mario community (and usually arguments against this game's quality argue that it's too similar to its predecessor, which, well, I played this first) but is very nostalgic.

3. Super Mario Galaxy 1: Great for many of the same reasons but I feel its principle shortcomings in comparison to its successor is being a bit too easy and much less nostalgia. However the story was great (not Mario RPG level though.)

4. Super Mario 3D World: Played this when I was 16 and it was really cool how it was like the 2D Marios but in 3D. Its graphics and music were amazing and its gameplay was very well polished. I've only played the Wii U version and I'm not sure if I'll ever try its re-release on the Nintendo Switch.

5. Super Mario 3D Land: Great for most of the same reasons as SM3DW barring the graphics (I played SM3DW before SM3DL) and it was really cool to have it on handheld. However I found it too easy.

6. Super Mario 64: Played over the summer when I was 16 and though I didn't play it during "its time" it was a blast. I did like the open world style but I also felt some of the time that worked against it as for instance I'd often struggle, not knowing what to do. I did feel it was too hard. The music was quite good.

7. Super Mario Sunshine: I did like this game but I feel it's my least favourite by far. Much too difficult, doesn't benefit from the open-ness nearly as much as 64, monotonous theming, didn't like the music very much, and I found many of the levels more frustrating than anything else. I did appreciate the story though.

2D platformers

Super Mario Maker 1 was an amazing game and it was a dream come true to create and share my own Mario levels and to play the genius, and sometimes not so genius creations of others providing and endless supply of interesting Mario platforming. I'd love to play Super Mario Maker 2 some day and I'd be delighted if Nintendo made a 3D Super Mario Maker or incorporated Super Paper Mario into the Maker series somehow (albeit the latter is a little unrealistic to hope for if I'm honest.)

That aside, I have played all four New Super Mario Bros. games, which I liked, and I have played Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels but find all of these three games to be very dated by comparison. I have also played Super Mario Land and its sequel and I find that these games too are outdated and do not reach the quality of the NSMB series, but I do enjoy them more than SMB, SMB2, and SMB:TLL. Once I get Switch Online I'm possibly going to try SMW and SMB3

Other Mario-related games

I own Mario Kart Wii, which I do not like. I've also played Super Mario Kart once, which wasn't any better.

I own Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, which I enjoy a little.

I own Mario Party 6, Mario Party 9, and Mario Party 10. MP9 and MP10 are great (MP9 is probably my favourite because it's the only one I grew up on) and MP6 is not bad.

I own both versions of Donkey Kong Country Returns which I love. I later also played Tropical Freeze which was great as well.

I used to own but have lost Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! which I enjoyed somewhat.
