How do you remake a game this many times
Super Mario Galaxy
2007
One of the best Mario games of all time, if a bit unfocused at times. The game's level design philosophy of tiny zen garden-style planets is genius and goes great along this title's overall feel. This game's pivotal idea is so inventive it just blows my mind no one did it before.
Super Mario World
1990
Back when Nintendo launched the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, they came blasting out the gates immediately with Super Mario World, which is quite possibly one of the greatest launch titles for a console ever made. It is absolutely fantastic, and while I wouldn't consider it my favorite 2D Mario game, it is quite close to that bar, as it does practically nothing wrong in its execution.
The story is what you would expect from a Mario game, except now with dinosaurs, the graphics are extremely appealing and well done, the music is iconic, catchy, and wonderful, being great to listen to even to this day, the control and movement is extremely fast, responsive, and fun, the gameplay is 2D Mario at its absolute finest once again, the amount of things you can do in the game, including all the levels and the secret exits, are extremely fun to clear out, the difficulty is just right, the boss fights, while easy, are all different and varied enough to be entertaining, the powerups are all very creative and fun to use (except for the P Balloon), and not to mention, it introduced Yoshi, one of the best characters in the entire series, and he shines in this game, being very fun to use, with plenty of different types to use and experiment with.
Seriously, I can't think of a single bad thing about this game, it is THAT good. It does everything right for a Mario game, and it would pave the way for many more games to come in the future.
Overall, this is without a doubt one of the best SNES games ever made, and one of the greatest in the Mario series. While it may not be my favorite Mario game, or my favorite 2D one, it definitely deserves all of the praise it gets.

Game #47
Super Mario Bros. 2
1988
The choice between multiple characters with different abilities is great and the level design is unique and much more "vertical". However, it's literally another game with a Mario skin, and it shows it with the gameplay being a bit repetitive in a not quite fun way, at least for me.
Super Mario Bros. 2
1988
The first three levels is a breath of fresh air for the Mario franchise while managing to not lose any charm.
No clue what it is but the second (American) Super Mario game gets really boring after the first 20-30 minutes. Though, I don’t think it’s a bad game whatsoever.

None of the good features from SMB exist here. This isn’t really a Mario 2d jump n run in mind it’s doki doki panic. You can not expect this to be as fun as the original SMB unfortunately.
