The top 10 best Super Mario games ranked
Nintendo recently celebrated its favorite holiday, MAR10 Day – which means there’s no better time to rank the mainline Super Mario titles. For reference, this only includes games that the company considers to be “main series”, which generally includes 2D Mario and 3D Mario, but not Wario Land or Yoshi’s Island (even though the former was called Super Mario Land 3 and the latter Super Mario World 2). It also includes Super Mario Run, for whatever reason, and as you might expect that game is nowhere to be found on our list.
Before you read, keep in mind that this is of course a heavily subjective list, and it’s more to promote all of you ranking your own lists in the comments down below than anything else. Feel free to share your thoughts after you read our top ten!

Over in Brazil, Mario Kart Tour has received a rating change with the game moving up to 18+. This essentially means that it’s not recommended for those below that age.
This is one of the highest classifications possible in the country. Nintendo hasn’t shared information about this officially, but some are speculating that gambling and loot boxes are to blame.
Front Mission 3: Remake previously had a physical release in Japan, but now we have news on that front for the west.

The move would come in accordance with European Union legislation so that consumers can easily replace the battery themselves. While this is targeted at the European market, similar policies could take place in Japan and the United States “if consumer awareness of the right to repair increases,” Nikkei says.
