It’s time for the list to end all lists: every Super Mario Game ranked from worst to best. With the newest entry in the series, Super Mario Wonder, now available, let’s see how the previous entries stack against each other.
In general, the New Super Mario Bros. franchise isn’t going to fare well on our list of every Super Mario game ranked. The worst of the bunch is 2012’s New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the Nintendo 3DS.
I didn’t have a Game Boy as a kid growing up. I had a hard life, I know.All kidding aside, Super Mario Land was a really cool-looking game every time I saw my cousins play it.
Super Mario Land is a great game for the Game Boy, but it’s lacking compared to the rest of the franchise. Undoubtedly limited by the capabilities of its hardware, Super Mario Land doesn’t have the chops to hang with the big boys.
This is the real Super Mario Bros. 2, at least it is in Japan. Eventually releasing alongside Super Mario All-Stars for the Super Nintendo, Lost Levels is far more difficult than its brethren.
The Lost Levels has developed a cult-following amongst Super Mario game fans. As the audience for overly difficult games has grown, so too does the fondness for The Lost Levels.
The best part about this game is Super Luigi U, a spin-off expansion that doesn’t feature Mario.Like the rest of the New Super Mario Bros console games, there was an emphasis on co-operative play and simple 2D platforming.
