Your Favourite NES Mario Game.
So, out of the first three Super Mario games that were released on the NES, which one is your personal favourite? If you want, you can list them in order of preference, and tell us what you like/dislike about each game.
So, here's what I think, with number 1 being my favourite:
1) Super Mario Bros - The original, and best. No other NES game got me addicted as much as this beauty, and the excellent level design still holds strong right up to this day. The music was cool, the enemies were great, the difficulty curve was perfect, and even the glitches were great fun. Nobody had seen anything quite like Super Mario Bros before.
2) Super Mario Bros 2 - Not as good as the original, but still a lot of fun. The gameplay was a radical departure from the first SMB game, but I still enjoyed it very much. Not being able to kill enemies by jumping on them felt a little weird to begin with, but after a while, obliterating Shy-Guys with raddishes became very satisfying. The level design was good as well, and the bosses were excellent. Plus, the ending was simply amazing.
3) Super Mario Bros 3 - Very addictive, but not my favourite out of the three Mario games. World 1 got off to a great start, but after a while, I became bored and unimpressed. Although the worlds were very varied and the gameplay itself was perfect, the level design wasn't all that great, in my opinion. Instead of enjoying the game and learning from my mistakes, I became annoyed at the sometimes ridiculous level design and gave up. A great game, but I prefer the other two NES Mario games.
