We've excluded Yoshi's Island, despite its official title, for the same reason Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 doesn't feature - both games are spin-offs that, titles aside, are distinctly lacking in the Super Mario department. We've included all mainline Super Mario platformers (both 2D and 3D), but you won't see any spin-offs or sports titles here. You can check out our selections of the Best Zelda Games and Best Pokémon Games elsewhere, but without further ado, we present our list of the Best Super Mario Games - as rated by you, dear readers.

With Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 absolutely neck and neck, every rating counts! If you haven't rated your favourites yet, simply click on the 'star' and assign a score out of ten. It's entirely possible to influence the order, even after publication. Remember: the order below is updated in real-time according to each game's User Rating on this here website.

In order to answer this question definitively, we asked Nintendo Life readers to rate the mainline Mario games they have played and the result is the ranked list you see below. All of them could easily be somebody's 'best game of all time', and there'll always be someone who believes the series peaked with The Lost Levels. What's the best Mario game ever? Where do you even begin to rank them? Let's face it, any of the games in the top 10 could justifiably take the top spot. Remember: This is subject to change depending on each game's User Rating on our database, so feel free to get rating the ones you've played with a score out of ten and potentially affect the order. If you're interested in Team Nintendo Life's personal opinions, check out our video at the very end of the article, but the list below is based on the opinions of you lovely lot. There are movie trailers, Switch game sales, Lego announcements, and general plumbery frivolities to enjoy, and it's therefore the perfect time to revisit this reader-ranked list covering every single one of Mario's mainline games across all dimensions and platforms. Look, it's March 10th and Nintendo is celebrating all things Mario. Wahoo, it's Mario Day! Sorry, MAR10 Day! Or, if you're in Europe, 10MAR Day!.
