Mario's Greatest Hits

Tanooki MarioThe folks over at GameDaily have put together a list of the top 10 Mario games of all time, and the results may actually surprise you. Nostalgia seems to have hit writer Chris Buffa like a Mack truck doing 85 down memory lane, as all of the top choices come from well into yesteryear, while more recent titles -- like 'Mario Sunshine,' 'New Super Mario Bros.' and 'Mario Kart DS' -- linger at the bottom of the list. What can we learn from this? That the state of humanity is on the rapid decline, that there's always a princess out there in need of saving, and that Nintendo seriously knows how to milk a franchise.

Their choice for numero uno Mario game of all time? 'Super Mario Bros. 3,' of course. Because let's face it: Who can resist the appeal of an overweight Italian plumber in a skin-tight Tanooki suit? Oh, and the strangest choice: a rather obscure RPG (role-playing game) called 'Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga,' which comes in at #4. Color us pleasantly surprised -- it's refreshing to see the quirkier titles get some props.
