Mario has been around forever - ok, maybe not forever, but for almost 30 years now. He's appeared in over two hundred games. Which ones are the best? For the purposes of this article, we'll focus on those games which star Mario, rather than ones in which he may appear as only one of many characters (such as Super Smash Bros Brawl) or as a supporting character. The original 8-bit Nintendo Mario games, of course, set the standard by which all later games will be judged. I refer, of course, to Super Mario Bros and Mario Bros 3, not the second game in the series (which was never intended to be a Mario game in the first place). After the Super Nintendo released, we got another great Mario game: Super Mario Kart! For the first time, Mario appears in something that isn't a platformer, and a great new series is born. For a few years, Mario found himself twiddling his thumbs in 3-dimensional games, but the Gamecube found himself getting back to his 2-dimension roots - perhaps a bit more literally than expected - in Paper Mario 2: Thousand Year Door. A great RPG-style game, Mario learns a great many new moves, such as the ability to fold his paper body up into a paper airplane! Jocuri mario
