Also honestly, Super Mario Bros. 1 was annoying, the levels were simple but good but the physics ruins SMB1 for me completely, Super Mario Bros. 3 was very very good. SMW can get a bit flat at times, and SMW2 was great.

Super Mario Bros 1 was decent and still holds up today. I do think the All Stars version is better, though. Super Mario Bros DX is decent, but some things could use a bit more spit and polish.

I have to disagree with this point. The All-Stars version has weirder physics to me. It feels stiff, especially when smashing blocks and trying to jump. The original NES version feels a lot smoother to me.

I grew up playing this version of Mario 1, and to this day getting to play the game without the smaller screen space still feels like special to me.

Maybe i should give a try to the NES version of Super Mario Bros, because i just can't beat the All Stars version, maybe i'm too used to physics of Super Mario World , but All Stars SMB just feels unresponsive
 
yeah original NES/FC SMB1 is the probably most sluggish Super Mario ever moved, but the game is made with that sluggishness in mind
if you're trying to hit every brick for every coin it's a lot more boring, just head to the right and have fun jumping on shit

iirc though All Stars SMB1 fucks up some odds and ends about the game physics, but I don't recall what at the moment
really if you're looking to play the game, play the game
 
Mario 1 All-Stars has larger hitboxes on pirahna plants for some reason, and if you've trained on the NES the art and sound differences can throw you off a bit. If you're emulating you can go either way but I didn't really like playing All-Stars Mario 1 or 2 with a SNES controller. I liked it for 3 though.
 
3 ends up one of the better GBA games, too, since that giant stat box at the bottom means you only end up losing one row of bricks or something similarly not-a-big-deal in the SNES->GBA conversion.

I prefer to play the NES originals because they're the versions I grew up on, with 3 being my favorite not just out of the bunch but all of the sidescrolling Mario platformers. Much as they try they just can't live up to it somehow.
 
Super Mario Maker is winding down, and many people are wrapping up their final levels.

Posting this run of Shun doing some crazy Kaizo level. The level itself isn't that great. Rather, the skill and dedication of the player who spent 5+ hours grinding out a 2 minute level is pretty damn impressive.
 
I don't fucking trust Peach. Bowser is clearly a dog's name. So whose dog is he? Nobody acts like that much of a ditzy bitch unless they're up to something.
 
When I was a kid playing the 8-bit original, I swear it looked like Mario was spitting Fire Balls from his mouth.

That resulted in six year old me being scolded by my Grandmother because I was pretending to be Mario.
 
At the risk of sounding like Movie Bob, I think the core Super Mario platforming series to be one of the most consistently great franchises around. And though the New Super Mario Bros. line is kinda bland (albeit polished), it's a lot of fun watching people work around the limitations of Nintendo's toolset with Super Mario Maker, which might be my favorite game ever.
 
Mario hasn't been definitive since SMB3.

World is great and all, but doesn't have the variety as SMB3.

And do not get me started on how horrible the NSMB universe is. Whoever decided to do that "ba! ba! ba!" thing in the background music deserves a very special room in hell.

I can't account for the bizarre aesthetic decisions in NSMB but the Mario 3D World games are fucking tight and demonstrate some well-earned swagger both visually and in a design sense, even if they did steal a mechanic from a flash game and go out of their way to lie about it.

Agreed, the music in NSMB is uniformly awful. Turns out having the whole soundtrack performed by the Robot Duck Choir wasn't a good idea.

The one thing I like about the newest NSMB game's soundtrack is the way Baby Yoshi sings along. As obnoxious as the music is, that did warm the ol' cockles.

I never liked that it was called New Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo had a really dumb affiliation with the word "new" for a while. NSMB, Yoshi's "New" Island, and the worst instance, the "New" 3DS. I feel sorry for the kids who wanted an upgrade/the latest iteration only for their parents to fuck up and give them the older models because Nintendo gave the latest one the stupidest name ever this side of the Wii U.
