On the occasion of Super Mario Day, an event that occurs every year on March 10th (Mar10 Day), I’m excited to present a guide to the best Super Mario games of all time! As a video game enthusiast, I know how important it is to find the right games to play, and Super Mario is undoubtedly one of the most famous and beloved game franchises of all time.

In this guide, I will explore the top 5 Super Mario video games of all time and provide a brief review of each one so that you can decide which game to play first (or next!).

Firstly, we have conducted extensive research to ensure that the games we have selected are the best of all time. We didn’t just select the most popular games or those with the best reviews, but we also took into consideration the history of the games and the impact they have had on the Super Mario series.

Secondly, we have tried to provide an honest and unbiased review for each game. We are not trying to sell you a game or convince you that all Super Mario games are fantastic. We just want to help you find the right game for you.

As if that wasn’t enough, we provide you with this link that will take you directly to the Amazon page of the Super Mario chapters still on sale, in case you decide to buy one immediately if you’re missing one or have never tried it before (hopefully not!).

Without further ado, let’s begin with our list of the best Super Mario games of all time!

Super Mario Bros. (1985)

We couldn’t make a list of the best Super Mario games without including the original game that started the franchise. Super Mario Bros was a revolutionary game when it was released in 1985 and defined the platform genre. The game follows the adventures of Mario and Luigi through the Mushroom Kingdom to save Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. The game was a huge success and made Super Mario one of the most famous video game franchises of all time. We spent hours and hours playing it during childhood. For the more “adult” gamers, it was also the first game ever played, the game that kickstarted an exciting career as a gamer. We belong to that category!

Super Mario 64 (1996)

Super Mario 64 was the first 3D Super Mario game and paved the way for many future Super Mario games. The game introduced a wide range of new movements and abilities for Mario, such as the ability to jump, swim, and climb walls. The game follows Mario as he explores Peach’s castle to save the princess and her friends from the evil Bowser.

Super Mario Galaxy (2007)

Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most beautiful and creative games in the series. The game is set in space and follows Mario’s adventures as he travels through different galaxies to save Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom from the ambitious Bowser. The game uses Wii motion controls to create a unique and immersive gaming experience.

Super Mario Odyssey (2017)

Super Mario Odyssey is the most recent Super Mario game and one of the most innovative.

The game sees Mario traveling through various worlds, including the city of New Donk, in search of hats that allow him to control other characters and objects in the game. The graphics and world design are absolutely stunning, and the game offers a lot of freedom for exploration.

Super Mario World (1990)

Super Mario World was one of the first Super Mario games for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and one of the greatest games in the series. The game follows Mario and Luigi as they try to save Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser. The game introduced many new elements, like Yoshi, that would become pillars of the series.

Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988)

Super Mario Bros. 3 was the third Super Mario game for the NES console and was one of the most popular and influential games in the series. The game introduced new power-ups like the world map, which allows players to choose their path through the game, and added new characters like the Koopalings.
