5 Mario Games to get you hyped for Super Mario 3D Land

To celebrate Mario's 3D adventure, here's a list of 5 of my favourite Mario games that gets me (and possibly you) excited for the new 3D adventure.

5  - Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time & Bowser's Inside Story (DS)

Now even though I haven't started Bowser's Inside Story yet, I do love Partners in Time alot. It is my all time favourite portable Mario game and it's the closest I'll ever play to a rpg. Partners in Time has a charm to it, all the characters are funny and the way they interact with each other is perfect. It's got humor, it's got simple controls & it's addictive.

4 - NEW Super Mario Bros. (DS)

To me, this game is a huge nod and thank you to the original Super Mario Bros game.

3 - Super Mario 64 (DS/N64) 

Now whether you play this on the DS or N64, I only got to play it on the DS, this game is what Mario would be in 3D. Not pop out of the screen 3D, this is Mario in a 3D world and I do love how Nintendo did it. They did it right. 

2 - Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)

Now if you remember back when I did my Top 10 of the year, Super Mario Galaxy was numero uno on the list because it was and still is my favourite Mario game. ever. The only thing I have bad to say about it is the Wii-mote feels awkward in my hand when I play it.

1 - Super Mario Bros. & Super Mario Bros. 3

Now these are kinda a given, if it hadn't been for the first Super Mario Bros, we wouldn't have Mario 3, Galaxy or 3D Land. Now I say the original because well it's the original! Nothing beats the original unless the sequel is truly saying words over. 

That being said, Mario 3.

This has everything the original had and added so much more to it. The one thing it has which no other Mario game has, except 3D Land, is the Tanooki suit. Now ever since Mario 3, every gamer thinks of flying whenever they see a raccoon. I know I do.
