Favorite 2D Mario Game?

[SkyMyl]

Ah...Remember the good old days of 2D, where the controls were so simple? Run with B, jump with A, move left and right and crouch, and for the SNES, Y to run, B to jump, A to spin-jump, and Up to look up. It's so easy to play 2D Mario, but we always have a challenge in these games. But now we have 3D Mario, Party Mario, Mario Kart, Mario Sports, and crappy spin-offs that don't exist.

So what's your favorite Mario game that goes back to the sidescrolling glory of Mario? It has to have Mario as a playable character, though. And I exclude Super Smash from the list, alongside Yoshi's Island.

I love Super Mario Bros. 3. It's my favorite 2D game in the Mario Series, and one of my top 3 favorite Mario games. It's not easy, but not as hard as the original, it has some of the best Power-Ups in the series, and memorable tracks. Not to mention a sadistic stage, known only as the Sky World.

Super Mario World is the best 2-D Mario game

Yoshi's Island was awesome though! And it was still simple. Run, jump, eat, spit, crouch, throw eggs. :P

But my favorite is probably Super Mario Bros 3. Catchy music, my favorite 2D Mario sprite(I didn't like Mario in Mario World), and awesome power-ups!

It hard to get rid of bowser.

It's hard to get rid of bowser.

I understand. It took me a while to beat it...

Yoshi's Island was awesome though! And it was still simple. Run, jump, eat, spit, crouch, throw eggs. :P

But my favorite is probably Super Mario Bros 3. Catchy music, my favorite 2D Mario sprite(I didn't like Mario in Mario World), and awesome power-ups!

I have not played it, sadly. But you play as Yoshi...

Yes, SMB3 was/is awesome. The original, in my opinion, had better Music than the remake.

I think it would ether be SMB 3 of Super mario world for me :)

Super Mario World probably.

I also likes Super Mario Bros. 2 (American version). I liked the different style.

[Cecil_and_Kain]

Paper Mario 2. I'm breaking the rule a little bit.

Mario World followed by Mario 3
They were easy to pick up and play, but really hard to get everything in. I miss games like that. Mario games are too freakin easy these days.

Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World. Both were awesome games.
