Hello there. My name is Yoshi155. Though you probably already know that based on the name of this page. I have a Nookipedia account, something else you can clearly see. My first video game ever was actually a Mario game: New Super Mario Bros. 2. But I’ll get more into that in a different section. When it comes to Mario, I’m not really as well versed as in Animal Crossing, ESPECIALLY when it comes to spin-offs and most 3D games. Because of that, it’s a lot harder to find things to edit than on Nookipedia, where I know every bit of trivial information. But that doesn’t discourage me from trying my best wherever I can help! Thanks for making it this far into my page (even though it hasn’t been that far). Time to get into more interesting things.

History with Mario

Like I said before, New Super Mario Bros. 2 was my first Mario game. The next game I got was Super Mario 3D Land. This happened when my old 3DS broke and I lost my original NSMB2 cartridge so when I got to buy a new one, I wanted to pick a game that I’d never played before. Unrelated, but one of the games there was OoT 3D, and I wonder how different I’d be right now if I happened to pick that game. But that’s unimportant. I like SM3DL, except I sucked at the game so I had to use baby mode assist items. And my file is the same one from then, so I’ll never be able to get sparkling stars, but oh well. Then, a few months later I started viewing things about NSMB2 again and decided “hey, that game does look kind of cool, maybe I should play it again”. I did. Then I bought Super Mario Maker for 3DS, Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, M&LBISBJJ, MK7, and, actually, I’m going to stop listing them. You get the point though, right? I love Mario games. So let’s move onto the next section, shall we?

Rating every Mario game. (That I’ve played)

What’s going to be going on here should be pretty self explanatory. I’ll be ranking every Mario game I’ve played on a scale of 1/10 to 10/10. And every time I play a new one, I’ll give a new ranking. Oh boy, this is going to be fun…

Like I said twice, this was my first game ever. I used to love it, but now I definitely see the flaws. I still don’t get the hate. It’s a good game, but I think the NSMB series steadily decreases in quality each entry. 7/10.

Another underrated game. It doesn’t have much that stands out when compared to other 3D Mario games, which is probably the contributing factor to this. Despite this, and the lower difficulty, I was still finding myself entertained playing this game. Let’s not forget that there’s 8 more worlds after beating the game. And just like SMG2, there’s a hard challenge after beating everything. A fun game, so I’ll give it a nice 8/10. How will it’s sequel hold up, though?

A game I actually don’t think is that good. It’s Super Mario Maker except that it’s handheld. So because of that, they removed a lot of features like the mystery mushroom and literally the ability to upload levels. What is the point of the game if they’re going to make it so much harder for other people to even play your stages? Also I was really bad at making stages when I got the game, but I do have to give it the fact that it introduced me to the series. That doesn’t save it from a low 4/10.

Confession time: I never actually finished. I’m on Neo Bowser Castle, but I just left it there for so long. I have to say that this game’s music is really good. But that is just a Mario thing in general, isn’t it? There’s one thing I don’t like about the game, but I can’t say it due to spoilers (despite the game coming out like a decade ago), so I’ll give the game a 7/10. A pretty good game, but I really dislike something I can’t specify about the ending.

My first (Mario) game on Switch. Because of this, for some time all I could do on my Switch was play this game. It was really fun. The gameplay is also pretty good. There’s good music and bosses. I just wish Mario wasn’t forced to be on your team. 8/10.

This game is… kind of disappointing. The new music is, in my opinion, mostly worse than the original game’s soundtrack. Obviously higher quality, but it just isn’t nearly as good. Another thing I don’t like is that they changed the title music. And no, adding all of those new themes doesn’t make up for it. Let’s part away from music for a second. The new side mode is just the one from Superstar Saga DX but with Bowser Jr., and the one from that game isn’t even that good to begin with. They skipped Partners in Time for some reason. But there is one thing that is just awful about the game. Why would they release it on the 3DS when DS games can literally already work on it? It’s not like Superstar Saga Deluxe, because that game actually originated on a console that isn’t compatible with the 3DS. It’s even worse because the Switch was almost two years old, so it would have made so much sense to release it there instead. Even though I like the 3DS more, the Switch was so much more popular than it, especially during this time period. This game is usually blamed for being the leading cause of Alphadream’s bankruptcy, and I can kind of see why. But I’ve been way too harsh on this game. After all, it is the way I experienced this game for the first time, and that does make it pretty good. There’s some things that are improved, such as being able to leave battles whenever you want, or polishing things, like making the carrot minigame actually possible. And the graphics are obviously way better, especially now that Giant Bowser battles actually use 3D models (and don’t require you to blow into the mic to breathe fire). This game is a 6/10. Why couldn’t they just release it on the console that wasn’t already on it’s way out?

Ah, yes. NSMBU and NSLU combined. They’ll be ranked individually. NSMBU is pretty rehashed, which is typical for an NSMB game. Unlike NSMB2, there is a normal new power-up introduced: the Super Acorn. There’s also the P-Acorn, but that’s not important. Still, there’s some things that could have been better. Like, why is NSMB2 World 3-B the only stage (to my knowledge) where Mini mushrooms are used other for secrets? Why not here? Also, most secrets are not nearly as hidden as before. Also, WHY CAN’T I STACK 99 PENGUIN SUITS ANYMORE???? The Koopalings are at least really unique. Like I said, each NSMB game seems to have gotten steadily worse, so 6/10. Forget what I just said about the NSMB series for NSLU. This game’s amazing. There’s way more difficulty and uniqueness. You can’t even use Mario until the game is beaten. But at this point, they should have just made the plot to rescue Daisy instead. After all, at this point she’d only been seen in one mainline Mario game. Still this game gets a 8/10.
