Is it the shoes? Nah, it's gotta be the ’stache. Mario laced up for some street hoops action against real NBA players as a playable character in the GameCube version of EA's franchise. Unfortunately, this also led to a spike in the number of fat, hairy guys who thought they had hops. Stan Van Gundy's on the sidelines for a reason, people.

This is the best game ever to my point of view! 1. Mario 64 2. Super Mario Brothers 3 3. Super Mario World

Easily the best Mario game ever, maybe the best videogame ever

Mario Tennis should be higher up on the list. (IMO)

Solid game all around. Perfect #1 pick.

WHere is Mario Paint?!

I don't know about this. In my opinion (I have played all of the games in the top 10), Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2 are the best Mario games. The 2D games are masterpieces, but so are the 3D games. Also, Sunshine should have been higher.

Seriously? Just one Mario game per page? That's just downright disrespectful.
