It's also some of the most sustained character building in all of Mario, if that's a think that can be said in any serious way. I played this for the first time back in the days when I still went home for Christmas, and it's the kind of game that I was constantly itching to get back to. Mario & Luigi is a game of constant gimmicks and surprises, but it also has a truly beautiful colour palette, alive to pinks and purples and golds. PSA: this may be the best Christmas game ever. Game Boy Advance, 3DS (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions). It's secretly kind of brilliant in its own right. Play it on Switch to get the fascinating open-world experiment Bowser's Fury included.
A lovely felty-feeling to the places you rush through. Series-best power-ups in the form of the cherry, which duplicated Mario until you're running a whole little army through the candy-coated worlds. The same short levels, the same wild levels of invention, the same desire to put Goombas in footwear - this time, an ice skate. Mainly remembered for the cat suit, this is, in truth, the long-awaited spiritual successor to Super Mario 3. Wii U, Nintendo Switch (Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury). This game is a gym for the mind as well as the fingers, and if that's your kind of Mario, then its appeal is truly endless. It gets really tricky! More than that, it requires an engagement with every part of the Mario moveset. But play it again, particularly the challenge modes, and it's the absolute apex of Mario as a technical platformer. Sure, on first playthrough it's a loveable Mario romp with a few new power-ups, a nice world map, and a sweet line in creative enemies. U has always felt like the summit of a certain kind of Mario game.
Okay, not everybody's choice for a list like this, but hear me out. Here's the one and only Shigeru Miyamoto talking to Eurogamer about the making of the iconic 1-1 level.
So to celebrate the success of the Mario movie, we've tried to bring together a list of our favourite Mario games - not including the many, many spinoffs. Mario always weighs the same - he's always that lovely piece of elastic to fling around colourful levels - but even before you get to kart racing and golf games, each Mario adventure always takes him somewhere new. Super Mario is video games to a lot of people, but behind the brand awareness - and the blockbuster animated movie that is currently breaking records in the cinemas - is a series that never settles into a rut.
