The Switch Online Battle Royale Exclusive Games, Ranked.
Kinda crazy there are (or rather, were) four of these.
What at first looked like a one and done type of concept ended up spwaning more takes on this little Battle Royale spin than any of us could have ever expected, and even if how the rest of the games after the first one were managed is questionable, I'm certainly glad they all exist, if only because of how silly this idea is at its core, yet how cool and sound it can be.
This is a small ranking, but one worth making, not only because most of these are actually enjoyable, but also because they are worth preserving, even if only in memory, despite Nintendo disagreing...

@electrode I absolutely get why some would prefer the Mario take over Tetris, I personally prefer some Tetris 99, but yeah, Super Mario Bros 35 rocked and I'm so sad it's gone, especially for people like you that really enjoyed it...
Mario > Tetris > f-zero > pac-man
Mario was the best one and I will never forgive Nintendo for pulling the plug. Tetris is a classic and it actually works really well as a battle royale I guess? F-zero is ok, it’s disappointing that this is basically the next the f-zero game but eh. And pac-man just wasn’t that interesting.

@whu I'm really happy to see what other people have to say about these games, and I honestly didn't expect Mario 35 and Tetris 99 being so close preference wise, but I'm glad that's the case. Also, glad I'm not the only one that really didn't enjoy Pac Man 99 or found it interesting, I was scared that I'd be the only one that found it not that good.
Mario 35 was the most frustrating of these, it felt like every match ended up with me and 2 or 3 other players running with maxed-out clocks, unable to do anything to really attack each other, ultimately waiting for someone to just miss a jump
I played so many 20-minute long matches of Mario 35 lol

I genuinely didn't know any of this was a thing until the F-Zero 99 fracas.

Mario > Tetris > F-Zero. Didn't play Pac-Man 99 dispite liking the idea.
SMB is just my favorite base game of these to play casually, so a more competitive and crazy spin appeals to me the most. I'm not a big Tetris fan, but the frenetic nature of 99 helps carry it. F-Zero is a bit too chaotic, though I admittedly only did three or four real races.
