In order to answer the question of 'Best Mario game?' definitively, we asked Nintendo Life readers to rate the mainline Mario games they have played and the result is the ranked list you see below. That's an opinion, and you're entitled to it! Any of them could easily and understandably be somebody's 'best game of all time', and there'll always be someone who believes the series peaked with The Lost Levels. Let's face it, any of the top 10 could justifiably take the top spot. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch).Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (GB).
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (NES).
