Shawn Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 So what is your favorite of the Super Mario games from the NES\Famicom? Super Mario 1 was such a step up in graphics compaired to what I was used to on the 2600 and 2j has a place in my heart as I was lucky enough to have a pirate cart of it as a kid. My parents bought me 2j at a local rental store. Was the first time I ever saw a famicom converter also. Boy that was a long time ago. So I'm going with Mario 1 but Mario 2j is a very close second.

Rhomaios Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 SMB3 for me, but SMB2 US comes really close. I don't even really put them in the same category, though, considering 2US wasn't really part of the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 SMB1. I love that it's just simple enough that you can blast through it, yet deep enough to afford detours and exploration. It plays like an arcade game extrapolated to its logical extreme. The mechanics and physics, to me, are perfect, and it's endlessly replayable. It defines the early years of the NES, if not the mid-'80s console renaissance as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcks73 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Has to me SMB1. Novelty of the game, fun gameplay and replayability makes it an obvious choice for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZippyRedPlumber Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 As a Mario fan, I love them all. but for my most favorite NES Super Mario game, It's a tie between Super Mario 3 & Super Mario 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Super Mario Brothers 1. Saving the Princess never gets old, and I have saved her hundreds of times by now. Much as I love SMB3, I can't beat it. SMB2 is a decent game but doesn't feel like Mario, because it isn't, and Lost Levels is hard as hell, as in MegaMan hard! To be honest, I love all 4 NES games, but Super Mario World SNES gets my vote for all around best ever 2D Mario game. It's perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I vote Mario Bros on the 2600. Close 2nd Princess Rescue by Mr. Spry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhomaios Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I vote Mario Bros on the 2600. Really, the 2600 version? Why not the NES, 7800, or C64 versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Really, the 2600 version? Why not the NES, 7800, or C64 versions? or Atari XE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I agree the Atari XE is the best on any Atari platform. I also enyoy the colecovision version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey.shake Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I had to chew on this one a while. I think the first is the greatest, while the third is the "best" -- it kind of took all of the awesome elements the first one innovated and cranked them up to "10". But I've always loved the cheerful psychedelic aspects of the second one since long before I knew it was a Doki Doki Panic reimagining. It's so bright and swirly, with cool personalities for each of the characters. It doesn't FEEL like a Super Mario game, but when it was only the second one out there, it just felt like a different style. I guess semantics and explanation are a way to try and have my cake and eat it, too. While it's my favorite, I realize that the second one's...different. (Of COURSE nobody had voted for it yet -- now I'm "that guy") The third one is certainly has more of everything the first one does (and some stuff from the second one). But the innovation, imagination, user-friendliness, and charm of the first one really can't be beat, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlegamer Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Super Mario Bros. 2 It's so different from the other games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 3, but really because of my memories playing it with friends. For gameplay I liked 2 because it stood out, even if it was a hack for us lowly US gamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I vote Mario Bros on the 2600. Close 2nd Princess Rescue by Mr. Spry. So your vote would go for Super Mario Bros. 1 then I guess. This poll is just for the "Super" ones and just on the Nintendo 8 bit. Atari mario,ect. will be for another time but it will come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Mario 1 and 3 are tied at 17 votes! The week is up for this poll soon so get your votes in. Would be a shame to see a tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true testament to their impact. BY THE WAY, for you peeps saying Mario Bros, remember that SMB 3 has Mario Bros in game, too! Clearly that's the way to go! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm going SMB1. It was the perfect game at the perfect time, and even today I can go back and play it anytime and anywhere while still enjoying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 SMB1 for me. Its simplicity and straight-forwardness in level design keeps me coming back to it more than the others. All of them are great IMO, and Part 3 is easily the "best" of them, but I come back to the first one far more often (and these days almost exclusively).

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 ^^No, Super Mario Bros 3 have the Mario Bros arcade minigame, in 2-player mode only. Players can battle out for coins to get an extra turn. It's not an extra copy of Super Mario Bros 1 like the name implies, and it's really not the Mario Bros arcade game either. BTW, looks like Super Mario Bros just got an extra 4 votes! If this poll were on NintendoAge, SMB3 would be winning by a landslide though...

Rhomaios Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Really? I didn't know that. Cool. In two player mode, if one player presses B (or A? can't remember now) on the tile that the other play is on, it starts Mario Bros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 There's just one level, and it ends automatically when all coins are collected or one player dies. Whomever collects the most coins or wins the round gets their turn to play SMB3. Sometimes it can get rather old if one player continually spams the minigame, but you lose your turn if you don't win it. Sometimes it makes a good tactic though if the next world is a PITA and you want to force the other player to play it without losing a life.
