Every Mario-Related Game I've Ever Played:
| Game: | Platform: | Completion Progress: | Other Thoughts: | Own? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Mario All-Stars | Wii (Nintendo Selects) | Haven't beaten any of the games. | I honestly find these games a tad overrated, but it was still cool to see where the series got its start. Kind of a missed opportunity to not rerelease the version with Super Mario World, huh? | Yes |
| Super Mario 64 | Nintendo Switch (via 3D All-Stars) | Nabbed 102 Power Stars, but haven't beaten the story yet. | My first exposure to the original version of this game. Has some control and physics issues I really can't stand, and a several of the late game courses are not very fun. | Yes |
| Mario Kart 64 | Nintendo 64 | Only played a few races and battles. | Yeah, this one's aged pretty badly. Ugly graphics and barely any unlockables, but again, it's an important entry. | No |
| Super Smash Bros. | Nintendo 64 | Played several matches. Everything was already unlocked. | Graphics aside, this one holds up surprisingly well. I may have even enjoyed it a little more than Melee. | No |
| Super Smash Bros. Melee | Nintendo GameCube | Played a ton of matches, and even tried out some of the mods. | A lot of people think this one's the best, but I disagree. Any game that forces me to break the physics engine and only choose from 8 out of 26 characters in order to get the most out of it is a no-no for me. | No |
| Super Mario Sunshine | Nintendo Switch (via 3D All-Stars) | Haven't even started it yet. | Thoughts coming soon! | Yes |
| Mario Kart: Double Dash | Nintendo GameCube | Only played a few races and battles. Everything was already unlocked. | Cool concept, but pretty overrated. Loose physics, repetitive music, and annoying voice clips, oh my! | No |
| Donkey Kong Jungle Beat | Nintendo Wii (via New Play Control!) | Got stuck on the final boss. | Quite the adrenaline rush, with some really good graphics, but the repetitive bosses and lack of DKC lore is a little off-putting. | Yes |
| Super Mario 64 DS | Nintendo DS | Nabbed 147 Power Stars, but haven't beaten the story. | Blows the original out of the water, with better controls and visuals, plus a slew of fun new content. The extra characters provide even more freedom when it comes to completing certain missions as well. | Yes |
| Mario Kart DS | Nintendo DS | Won all cups on 50cc and 100cc, but couldn't do it on 150cc because it was so difficult. | A pretty middle-of-the-road Mario Kart game, albeit one with some cool tracks. | Yes |
| New Super Mario Bros. | Nintendo DS | Beat the story, but haven't gotten around to 100%ing it. | Far too easy, even by NSMB standards, and the new power-ups were lame, situational, and far too rare. Multiplayer is pretty cool, though, and it's a shame it never came back. | Yes |
| Super Mario Galaxy | Wii and Nintendo Switch (via 3D All-Stars) | 100% on Wii. Haven't touched it on Switch. | A ton of fun, with an epic sense of scope, but it was ridiculously easy and had more filler than I would've liked. Plus, unlocking an even easier mode by 100%ing the game? Yeah, no thanks. | Yes |
| Mario Party 8 | Wii | Played a total of one game, and ended up winning it. | Haven't touched this in forever, and I don't remember my thoughts at the time. | No |
| Donkey Kong Barrel Blast | Wii | Unlocked almost every character, all the tracks, and almost cleared the first set of Candy's Challenges. | Haven't touched the game since my disc broke, but I remember enjoying myself. The controls are over-hated, the item system and mode selection are interesting, and the game introduced a lot of cool Kremling designs that I'd love to see in another mainline DK game. | Yes |
| Super Paper Mario | Wii | Beat the story, unlocked all but one recipe, and cleared all the treasure maps. | In all honesty, I wouldn't mind seeing Mario do another action RPG. Just so long as the story's as engaging as this one. | Yes |
| Mario Kart Wii | Wii | 100% | Still the best in the series, with some cool items and a high learning curve. Also, shoutout to this game for being the last Mario Kart where it was actually challenging to unlock stuff. | Yes |
| Wario Land: Shake It! | Wii | Beat the story, and some of the bonus levels. | Great visuals and sound, with a ton of fun bosses, but the game is overall pretty short, and unless you're going for completion, you won't find much in the way of a challenge. | Yes |
| Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Wii | Unlocked every character and stage, and beat Subspace, but I don't care to do much outside of that. | Was my favorite Smash game until Smash 4 came out. Still surprisingly fun to come back to, despite its aged visuals and tripping. | Yes |
| New Super Mario Bros. Wii | Wii | Just that one Star Coin in 9-7 is between me and 100% completion. | Haven't touched the game since my disc broke, but it left me with a lot of fun memories. Was also the first Mario game I completed without consulting a guide, since I wasn't allowed on the internet at the time. | Yes |
| Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games | Wii | Beat the festival mode. | I'll always credit this game for being my first ever introduction to Sonic. Even ignoring that, it's more fun than you might think. | Yes |
| Super Mario Galaxy 2 | Wii | Nabbed ~100 Power Stars | Fixes pretty much every problem I had with the first game. The downplayed story was a bit of a disappointment, though. | Yes |
| Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! | Nintendo DS | Beat the story mode. | Just a fun set of challenging and addictive puzzles. What more could you want? | Yes |
| Donkey Kong Country Returns | Wii | Beat the story, and nabbed all the KONG Letters and Puzzle Pieces. Maybe I'll attempt Mirror Mode later on... | I never played the original trilogy, but I'm sure fans of those games were excited when this came out. I myself had loads of fun with this game, but I feel its challenge can get a little too cruel at times. | Yes |
| Mario Sports Mix | Wii | Beat the story mode in all five sports, and unlocked a couple of alternate costumes. | Surprisingly good, considering Nintendo's recent track record with the sports installments. | No |
| Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games | Wii | Played a few events. | I hear this one's the best in the series, but I didn't play enough to judge for myself. | No |
| Super Mario 3D Land | Nintendo 3DS | 100% | I enjoy it less than I did as an adolescent, but overall the game still holds up. The Special Worlds are easily the best part, but even they start to overstay their welcome near the end. | Yes |
| Mario Kart 7 | Nintendo 3DS | 100% | Pretty solid overall, but I'll never forgive it for scrapping single-player VS and butchering the Wii tracks. | Yes |
| Mario Party 9 | Wii | Played part of a game. | Consensus says this one isn't good, but I didn't play enough to judge for myself. Remember when we used to have game demos at Target? | No |
| New Super Mario Bros. 2 | Nintendo 3DS | 100% | Unnecessary, but still way more fun than it has any right to be. In fact, I'd say it's the best NSMB game, making the most of its limited scope and giving us some truly creative levels. The emphasis on coins also increased replayability, albeit via a psychological exploit. | Yes |
| New Super Mario Bros. U | Wii U and Nintendo Switch | 100% on both consoles | Nice graphics and cool world map aside, this game was just okay. I did really like the final boss, however. | Yes |
| Paper Mario: Sticker Star | Nintendo 3DS | Did everything except the final boss. | Is there even anything I could say that hasn't been said elsewhere online? | Yes |
| New Super Luigi U | Wii U and Nintendo Switch | 100% on both consoles | Even better than the base game, with hard-to-master physics and much more creative level design. | Yes |
| Mario & Luigi: Dream Team | Nintendo 3DS | Beat the story campaign | I never played PiT, but this one's easily my favorite in the series. | Yes |
| Super Mario 3D World | Wii U | ~94% | I would love to see another game in this style! | Yes |
| Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS | Nintendo 3DS | Unlocked every character and stage, and beat Classic and All-Star with every character. | Doesn't look or play as nicely as the Wii U version, but I feel it has superior stages. Not to mention Smash Run. | Yes |
| Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze | Wii U and Nintendo Switch | ~180% on Wii U; 200% on Switch | Blows its predecessor out of the water. Plus, it has my favorite OST in any video game. | Yes |
| Yoshi's New Island | Nintendo 3DS | Beat the game without Flutter Wings and 100%d the first world, but didn't bother with the rest. | Iffy graphics and nauseating soundtrack aside, this game is perfectly fine. | Yes |
| Super Smash Bros. for Wii U | Wii U | Same as Smash 3DS | Looks and plays better than the 3DS version, but way too many retro stages. The Miiverse functionality was pretty cool, back when it was up and running. | Yes |
| Mario Kart 8 | Wii U and Nintendo Switch | 99% on Wii U; 100% on Switch | Second favorite Mario Kart, with great tracks, music, and visuals, but unlocking everything was way too easy. | Yes |
| Yoshi's Woolly World | Wii U | 100% | Cool visuals, a banging soundtrack, and fun level design without the ball and chain that is Baby Mario? Yes, please! | Yes |
| Super Mario Maker | Wii U | Unlocked everything. | Fantastic for its time, but hard to come back to after playing the sequel. | Yes |
| Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam | Nintendo 3DS | Got stuck on the final boss. | Gameplay's as solid as ever, with some nifty quality-of-life upgrades, but boy was the story a huge missed opportunity. | Yes |
| Paper Mario: Color Splash | Wii U | Got stuck at The Emerald Circus | Way better than the internet says it is, with gorgeous visuals and sound, and a ton of great humor. However, there's a huge difficulty spike near the end of the game. | Yes |
| Super Mario Odyssey | Nintendo Switch | 100% | Best in the series, and I'm dying for a sequel! | Yes |
| Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle | Nintendo Switch | Beat the story and the DLC, but didn't bother with 100% completion. | Came completely out of left field, but it was a pleasant surprise. It's like instead of trying to combine the two franchises, they instead went for something neither series has done before, resulting in the first and best tactical RPGs I've ever played. | Yes |
| Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions | Nintendo 3DS | Beat the story campaign. | My first introduction to the game, and it was a ton of fun. Always cool to see how a series began. | Yes |
| Super Smash Bros. Ultimate | Nintendo Switch | 100%d World of Light, unlocked every character and stage, and beat most of the Challenges. | Easily my favorite in the series, with a ton of content and love packed into it. Combine this with portability, and you've got yourself a keeper! | Yes |
| Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey | Nintendo 3DS | Stopped playing near the climax, but I intend to pick it back up soon. | Again, my first introduction to the game. Didn't need to exist, but I bought this remake because I prefer the Dream Team art-style. | Yes |
| Yoshi's Crafted World | Nintendo Switch | Beat the game; tried to 100%, but got stuck on the hidden boss. | Game's okay, but its level-flip mechanic was underutilized, and the soundtrack was a huge downgrade from the last game. | Yes |
| Super Mario Maker 2 | Nintendo Switch | Beat the story mode and unlocked every level-creation tool. | What the first game should've been, but it still has some limitations that I find baffling. | Yes |
| Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 | Nintendo Switch | Beat the story mode and went for some of the challenges. | More fun than expected, but loses its luster after a while. I do like how the characters change their clothes more often, and I hope Nintendo keeps up with this trend, but I was disappointed in the lack of Miis this time around. They were a great source of longevity in the previous entries. | Yes |
| Paper Mario: The Origami King | Nintendo Switch | Beat the story, 100%d every area, and nabbed some of the trophies. | A really good middle-ground between the old and new styles, and it might have the best story in the series since the third game. | Yes |
