Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all staying safe during these difficult times. I've mostly been alright, but still bored just the same.

I don’t really have a lot of ideas for what I want to post here on DeviantArt, but in honour of Mario’s 35th anniversary (which I already know has LONG since passed), I’ve decided to recreate another one of my previous DeviantArt posts from 2016, this time in the form the Top 24 Mario games that I currently value most, as of 2021.

And YES, in spite of how much I dislike its influence on the modern Paper Mario games of today, the 13-year-old Nintendo fan inside me from 2012 ACTUALLY DOES value Paper Mario: Sticker Star (mainly for its graphical style and its presence in my life at a time when I was constantly bullied for being the only passionate Nintendo fan in middle school). That and I still haven't played Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury yet.

I originally planned on creating another 2-Part message (similar to the ones I’ve already made about Bitstrips and PlayStation All-Stars) explaining why I value all 24 of these Mario games individually, but since most people don’t have the patience to read OR comment on my giant messages here on DeviantArt anyway, I’ve ultimately decided against creating another long message, and instead, I’ll only be posting this picture I made last year featuring all 24 of my most-valued Mario games. In the last several years since I posted my Top 20 Personal Favorite Mario Games list in 2016, I’ve had MANY opportunities to play MUCH OLDER Nintendo games that I could only DREAM of playing when I was much younger, so I think it’s fair to say that my opinions have changed DRASTICALLY since 2016.

So... just to list them all out... here are the Top 24 Mario games that I currently value most (as of 2021):

24) Paper Mario: Sticker Star (Nintendo 3DS, 2012)
23) Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (Nintendo 3DS, 2013)
22) Paper Mario (Nintendo 64, 2001)
21) Mario Party 8 (Nintendo Wii, 2007)
20) Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Nintendo DS, 2009)
19) Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo GameCube, 2004)
18) Super Paper Mario (Nintendo Wii, 2007)
17) Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo 3DS, 2011)
16) New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Nintendo 3DS, 2012)
15) Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo 3DS, 2011)
14) Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS, 2005)
13) Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo GameCube, 2001)
12) Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (Nintendo GameCube, 2003)
11) Super Mario 3D World (Nintendo Wii U, 2013)
10) Super Mario Sunshine (Nintendo GameCube, 2002)
9) New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo DS, 2006)
8) New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo Wii, 2009)
7) Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Nintendo Wii, 2010)
6) Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64, 1996)
5) Super Mario 64 DS (Nintendo DS, 2004)
4) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch, 2017)
3) Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo Wii, 2008)
2) Super Mario Odyssey (Nintendo Switch, 2017)
1) Super Mario Galaxy (Nintendo Wii, 2007)

As it is with EVERY ranked list of entertainment out there, please keep in mind that this ranked list of Mario games is all just MY OPINION, so as always, please feel free to express your own opinions down in the comments below. Just DON'T bash my opinions, because you’ll only end up embarrassing yourself. Also, if you guys want to hear about why I value ANY of Mario games so much, then definitely feel free to leave me any questions you might have down in the comments below (please just keep in mind that I’m only willing to discuss 3 games with each commenter)!
