@Akashana Love all the Mario representation here

@slaggymcwaggy Nintendo has made (and is still making) so many good Mario games. There were others I really like but I only had 10 spots for the list, haha.

@Akashana I could have easily made a Top 10 just with Mario games too! I went with Mario 3 because it was a core gaming memory for me (although so was Mario 2!) and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because it’s like the ultimate version (though if I did the list again I probably would have included Double Dash!! instead!)

@slaggymcwaggy Oh, I also could have made a full list with just Mario games. I grew up with Mario 3! I love the original, and the US version of 2 was fun, but they can't beat 3 for me.

@Akashana Same! I will forever love Giant World

@slaggymcwaggy Giant World is just so fun!

@Akashana I will say though that Kuribo’s Shoe was very underutilized 😞

@slaggymcwaggy Couldn't agree more! Was it only in one level? A travesty.

@Akashana Yes, I think just one! Maybe two at the most. Really my only criticism of SMB3 🤣

@Akashana I feel like I remember reading once that they ended up finding it hard to implement naturally in more levels but I also could just be imagining that - I’ll have to go back and rewatch some of my favorite SMB3 YouTube documentaries and see if I can find any reference to it. It was just in 5-3 which figures - World 5 is so weird but memorable!

@Akashana I love the dungeon that ends up going into the sky - my mind was blown the first time!

@slaggymcwaggy Oh heck yeah, that dungeon is so neat! It's so different from all the others.

@Akashana I also love 5-2 where you are dropping down from the warp pipe for a long time!
