Mario fans, how would you rank all of the main series entries?

[Warmsignal]

So talking Mario today got me thinking about this. How do you order all of the main Mario entries from most favorite to least appreciated for you? Here is my list (and I do include Yoshi's Island because it's called SMW 2, and handheld entries that represent the main series).

1 - Super Mario 64
2 - Super Mario Galaxy
3 - Super Mario World
4 - Super Mario Bros. 2
5 - Super Mario Sunshine
6 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
7 - Super Mario Bros. 3
8 - Super Mario Galaxy 2
9 - Super Mario Bros.
10 - New Super Mario Bros. Wii
11 - New Super Mario Bros. Wii U / New Super Luigi
11 - Super Mario 3D World
12 - New Super Mario Bros. DS
13 - Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels
13 - Super Mario Land

As a fan I'm embarrassed to admit I've never played 3D Land, Land 2, Land 3, or New Super Mario Bros. 2, so I don't know where those would fit for me.

Interesting. I wouldn't categorize Yoshi's Island as part of the main series. 
(Especially since it's Japanese title doesn't directly relate it to Mario World.)

[badATchaos]

splitting hairs but...

3D World
Galaxy 2
SMB3
Mario World
Galaxy 1
Sunshine
SMB2(USA)
SMB1
Mario 64
New SMB series (they're all kinda the same to me)
SMB2(Lost Levels)

I haven't played Super Mario Galaxy more than a few minutes, so I wouldn't feel right ranking it, and I have never played Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Galaxy 1 for me was a fantastic game, because it reminded me so much of a modern adaptation of 64, which is my favorite. Galaxy 2 is a bit different though, to me it seemed more like the linear and side-scrolling style of gameplay, and I'm not sure if it was just me but it also seemed like a shorter game.

[pacpix]

• Super Mario World
• Super Mario Bros 3
• Super Mario Bros 2
• Super Mario 64
• Super Mario 3D World
• New Super Mario Bros Wii
• Super Mario Galaxy
• New Super Mario Bros U
• New Super Mario Bros 2
• Super Mario Bros
• Super Mario Sunshine
• New Super Mario Bros
• Super Mario Lost Levels

I greatly enjoy all of the games on this list, but this is roughly how I would rank the main series games I have played.  Kind of cheating, but my favorite Mario game every is Super Mario All Stars + World 

[fighterpilot562]

Too hard to make the list, but I agree, lost levels has to be last...... Damn them!

[cornykev]

1. Super Mario 64
2. Super Mario World / Super Mario Advance 2
3. Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4
4. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
5. Super Mario Bros. / Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
6. New Super Mario Bros.
7. Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance
8. Super Mario Sunshine
9. Super Mario Land
10. New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Haven't played much of the more recent games (Galaxy, 3D Land/World, etc.) but this list rounds off nicely at 10, so I think I'll keep it that way

[stealthrush]

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. Super Mario World
3. Super Mario Bros
4. Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels
5. Super Mario Bros 2
6. Super Mario Land 2: The 6 Golden Coins
7. New Super Mario Bros
8.  Super Mario Land
9. New Super Mario Bros 2
10. Mario Bros

Growing up with the plumbers ever since Super Mario Bros for NES (which I still own) was great fun. Although I never was a fan of the 3D renditions of the Mario Bros series, also played up until Mario Sunshine for GC.

[kamikazekeeg]

Best I could have it tiered would be...

1. Super Mario 64
2. Super Mario World
3. Super Mario Sunshine
4. Super Mario 3
5. Super Mario 1
6. Super Mario 3D World

And then just kinda pile the rest together.  Never particularly liked the Galaxy series, but also didn't play them too long because of that, and then the rest of the Game Boy and other 2D ones aren't something I care a ton about.  Most of those are just standard Mario experiences and I'm generally not as interested in 2D Mario ones anymore.

Have to admit that the idea is brilliant and that am kinda surprised that didn't see at the lists the Paper Mario titles or the Super Mario RPG for the SNES but I guess they can fit to if Yoshi's Island is here, don't consider this game a part of the Mario series but that's besides the point anyway here is my list.

01.- Super Mario Bros. 3
02.- Super Mario RPG
03.- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
04.- Super Mario World
05.- New Super Mario Bros
06.- Super Mario Bros. 2
07.- Super Mario 64
08.- Super Mario Land
09.- Super Mario Bros.
10.- New Super Mario Bros Wii
11.- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
12.- Super Mario Lost Levels
13.- Mario Bros.

1.  Super Mario World
2.  Super Mario Bros. 3
3.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii
4.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii U/Luigi U
5.  Super Mario 3D World
6.  Super Mario Bros.
7.  Super Mario Bros. 2
8.  Super Mario 3D Land
9.  New Super Mario Bros.
10.  New Super Mario Bros. 2

Not really counting the old Gameboy games or re-releases of older titles for the handhelds.  I absolutely despise Mario 64 and Galaxy bored me to tears so much I never played Galaxy 2.  Super Mario Sunshine would be my #11.
