What are friends for, other than beating the living snot out of them? Mario put the hurt on his buddies in Nintendo's reimagination of Gladiator set in the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond. It's also one of the few games where you can get some retribution against the Princess for getting kidnapped all the time.

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.
