A lot of the more popular games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] have earned the Player's Choice title. Europe did not use the Player's Choice label for its [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy]] titles, opting to use the [[Nintendo Classics]] label instead until the [[Nintendo 64]]. The [[Nintendo Selects]] label is the successor to Player's Choice, likely discontinuing Player's Choice on May 15, 2011.<ref>Reilly, Jim (May 4, 2011).
