1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to side Quest. This is our weekly 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,559 video game show here at Givers, and it's just me 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,119 Dylan here today with a solo episode kind of in 4 00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:13,519 honor of the release of the second Mario Bros. Movie 5 00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:17,039 Mario Galaxy Movie whatever. The full title of this thing 6 00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:19,960 is now. Before the release of the first one, a 7 00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:21,719 couple of years ago, when I was twenty twenty three 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,600 or something like that, I did a ranking of every 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,320 Mario game I have ever played, and I thought about it, 10 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,559 I could just re release that now that the second 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,600 one is coming out. But you know, since that movie 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,840 came out, I've played a few more games. There's been 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,399 some new ones that have come out. I've gone back 14 00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,439 played some older ones. I've spent more hours in certain games. 15 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,719 I've rethought my list, and so I felt like, you 16 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:43,200 know what, even though I don't have a ton of 17 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,679 new games to add on this list, overall, it does 18 00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:49,000 feel like worthy of a re record, worthy of an update, 19 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,799 and I kind of like that this could become a 20 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,640 bit of a tradition, and anytime there's a new Mario 21 00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,560 movie that comes out, I can share an updated ranking. 22 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,200 And yeah, cause there's so many games in the back 23 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,600 catalog of Mario that I haven't got to. Like, I 24 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,120 haven't played many of the RPG kind of games like 25 00:01:04,359 --> 00:01:08,280 Mario and Luigi or Paper Mario. There are so many. 26 00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:11,359 There's sports games I haven't got to. There's some two 27 00:01:11,439 --> 00:01:13,560 D platformers I don't think I've played in the series. 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,799 And then there's always news games coming out, like at 29 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,079 least one or two a year. Feels like DLC for 30 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,760 other games and whatnot. So I feel like this can 31 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,000 kind of be an evergreen topic, and like I said, 32 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,400 we'll revisit it every time a new Mario movie comes out. 33 00:01:27,519 --> 00:01:29,120 The way, how do I want to do this? So 34 00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,159 I have a list of forty five games, your forty 35 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:35,239 five Mario games. The way I've classified this is you 36 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,599 gotta have the word Mario in the title of the game. 37 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:40,799 So I don't include Smash Bros. In this list. I 38 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,959 don't include I don't know what's another example of a 39 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,840 game that has Mario but is not distinctly a Mario game. 40 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,400 I don't think there is too many of them, to 41 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,359 be honest, But let me give you the list of 42 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,159 what is eligible, what is potentially on this list overall. 43 00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:57,000 So starting with the two D platformer games, we have 44 00:01:57,319 --> 00:02:00,719 the original Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. Too, Marbo's Three, 45 00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,920 Super Mario World, Super Mario World two, Yoshi's Island, Super 46 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,879 Mario Land To six Golden Coins, New Super Mario Bros. 47 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,719 New Super Mario Bros. Two, Super Mario Bros. Wonder Mario 48 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,520 Versus Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros. Thirty five, and Super 49 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,919 Mario Maker. As for the three D games, we got 50 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,439 Super Mario sixty four, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, 51 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,800 Mario Odyssey, and Mario three D Land. So Galaxy two 52 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,080 I have. Technically, by the time I did this recording 53 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:33,879 the first time few years ago, I had not played 54 00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,840 it at all. I've now played a little bit of it, 55 00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:37,639 but only like the first World or something, so I'm 56 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,520 not counted on the ranking yet. I need more time 57 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,520 with it because I feel like if I would put 58 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,039 it on the list, it would be kind of low, 59 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,639 just because I haven't spent a lot of time with it, 60 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,759 and it probably doesn't deserve to be that low. So 61 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:48,520 I'm just gonna wait. Maybe by the time Third Mario 62 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,159 movie comes out, I will have finally played through more 63 00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:53,319 of Galaxy. I do own it now. But you know what, 64 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,159 I'm gonna be honest with you. The WE does not 65 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,080 spend a lot of time plugged in these days, so 66 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,319 that's not one that I've been knocking out in recent times. 67 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,960 Over to Mario Kart, we have Super Mario Kart, Mario 68 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,719 Kart sixty four, Super Circuit, Double Dash DS WE seven 69 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,520 eight Deluxe, and World So eight eight Deluxe. I did 70 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,400 own both those games and play both of them. I'm 71 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:16,039 just going with the Deluxe version because it's just more 72 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,039 and I don't think there's much removed from it, so 73 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,080 just simpler to keep it that way. And of course 74 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,639 to Mario, World's in the mix. Now. For the sports games, 75 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,479 I have Mario Tennis, that's the original one on sixty four, 76 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:30,280 Mario Tennis Open, Mario Golf or sorry, Mario Tennis, Mike, right, 77 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:32,479 what one is open? Yeah? Opens on the three DS. 78 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,879 We have Mario Golf which is on the N sixty four, 79 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,360 Mario Golf Super Rush, Mario Strikers, Mario Striker's Charge and 80 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,960 Mario Strikers a Battle League, Mario Super Sluggers, and Mario 81 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,000 Sonic at the Olympic Games. For Mario Party, I have 82 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,240 Mario Party two, Mario Party three, Super Mario Party, Mario 83 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,800 Party Superstars, and Mario Party Jamboree. I've definitely played maybe 84 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080 three or four other ones in the series, but maybe 85 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,719 just like a game at a friend's house. These are 86 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:00,400 the ones that I've owned that I've spent more time 87 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,039 with that I actually could tell you facts about them, 88 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,080 whereas the other ones, I'm just like, yeah, I'm sure 89 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,000 Burdo's in there, but I don't know any other particular details. 90 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,400 So I'm just gonna go with those five for the 91 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,960 sake of this ranking. The weirdo games I don't really 92 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,519 fit anywhere else. I got Mario Plus, Rabid's Kingdom Battle Doctor, Mario, 93 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,959 Mario's Piccross, Mario Paint, Super Mario RPG, Mario and Luigi 94 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,120 Dream Team, and Mario Party w Why do I have 95 00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:29,040 Mario Party we down here? Do I even have that 96 00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:31,399 on the list? Why do I have that written down? 97 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,839 I'm sure gonna remove Mario Party Wee because I think 98 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,759 that is a Mario Party that I have technically played. 99 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,360 But again, like maybe around or something like that with 100 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,759 the geek fors squad, so I'm not gonna count that one. 101 00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:43,920 And then going back to Mario RPG. So that is, 102 00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:47,639 of course the newer remake version, remake, remaster, whatever it 103 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,240 was that came out a couple of years ago, not 104 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,720 the original one. That's the only version I have played, 105 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,639 and I feel like I skipped over something there that 106 00:04:55,759 --> 00:04:59,240 was relevant, but I can't think about what that particularly was. 107 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,439 Think the big ones for me that I haven't played 108 00:05:01,519 --> 00:05:04,360 is definitely anything in the paper Mario series. I've again, 109 00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:06,040 I wanted the one on N sixty four. I've played 110 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,519 a tiny bit of it, but not enough to want 111 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,319 to put on the ranking. Mario Luigi, particularly that new 112 00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,199 one I thought looked pretty cute, but I've only played 113 00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:15,839 that one on the three DS Dream Team Mario Hoops 114 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,000 three on three. I own that game. I've played a 115 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,079 tiny bit of it, but again need more time with it. 116 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,240 And then yeah, Galaxy two was the big one that 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,879 kind of stood out like a sore throw. The games 118 00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:26,720 that are kind of new on my ranking here from 119 00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:28,399 the last time I did this episode a couple of 120 00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:31,240 years ago. Of course, Super Mario RPG, that remake version, 121 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,759 Mario Bros. Wonder, Mario Kart World, of course, Mario Part 122 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,120 Mario Party Jamboree. Those are all new games that came 123 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,800 out in between the two recordings. There's been more DLC 124 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,519 for Mario Kart eight for what it's worth, Mario Paint, 125 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,639 and I've gone back and checked out because it's on 126 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,519 the Switch online now with the Switch to and then 127 00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:53,839 Mario Galaxy, which I already had on the list, and 128 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,920 I actually had it pretty high. I had it sitting 129 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,079 at number ten on my list, but I was only 130 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,560 like I was, honestly that far into the game. I 131 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,160 think I kind of put it high on the list 132 00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:05,759 just based on merit alone, but I did enjoy the 133 00:06:05,759 --> 00:06:08,319 early sections of it. But now I've fully rolled credits 134 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,920 and beat Mario Galaxy in the time since then with 135 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,839 that nice three D eel stairs collection that they have 136 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,480 on the switch, or that they had on the Switch, 137 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:22,000 you can no longer purchase that game, So you know, obviously, 138 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,399 Mario the first game I ever played with Super Mario's 139 00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:26,639 three on the nes It was my first console, a 140 00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,480 little hand me down console came from pawn job. I 141 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:30,120 don't know where the console came from, but that is 142 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:31,959 the first one I played, the first video game I 143 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,079 ever played in my whole life, and so I've always 144 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,680 been a Nintendo kid and always kind of jumped around. 145 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,199 While I was a big three to sixty era guy. 146 00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:40,120 I was big into PC for a while. PS four 147 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,079 was my main console for a while, but I always 148 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,639 also have whatever that most recent Nintendo console. Is always 149 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,199 playing the new Mario stuff, whether that is the sports, 150 00:06:48,319 --> 00:06:52,240 the karts, or the platformer kind of thing. So Mario 151 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,759 of course does mean a lot to me. Very nostalgic 152 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 for a lot of these stuff here, and yeah, I'm 153 00:06:57,639 --> 00:07:00,319 still checking out new things and still enjoying new things. 154 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,839 So honestly, if you did listen to my one from 155 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:04,680 a few years ago, I mean I'd be shocked if 156 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,360 you remember the order of the list, because that was 157 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,920 a few years ago. Now. You must have an amazing 158 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,920 memory if that is the case. I've mostly kept the 159 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,720 list roughly the same now. Obviously, we input games in 160 00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:17,279 here and then I think what roughly what I did. 161 00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:19,120 There's like maybe five or six spots on the list 162 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,279 where I flipped, you know, maybe put something up a 163 00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:23,639 spot or two. There was only one game that jumped 164 00:07:23,639 --> 00:07:26,879 pretty significantly higher, so I'm excited to talk about that 165 00:07:26,879 --> 00:07:28,399 one when we get there. And then a couple of 166 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:30,360 the games jumped up a couple of spots, and then, naturally, 167 00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,120 because we added a bunch of more games on the list, 168 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,160 a lot of games kind of went down the list too, 169 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,680 just naturally that's the way it goes. So I think 170 00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,040 we can kind of just get right into the list. Now, 171 00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,519 that was seven minutes of preamble, but that's just how 172 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,040 she goes here, and I might skip through, kind of 173 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,439 blast through kind of the lower sections of this list 174 00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,360 get to the more juicy stuff. Now I'm at the 175 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,399 bottom at number forty five, and then I'm even bundle 176 00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:55,519 forty four in there. But technically this is the order. 177 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560 I have Super Mario Kart at forty five, and then 178 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,519 forty four Mario Car Super Circuit. So that is the 179 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000 s NES Mario Kart and then the Game Boy Advance 180 00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:08,600 Mario Kart, which feel very similar to each other. But 181 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,399 I you know, I did not grow up with these 182 00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:13,439 ones for sure. Mario sixty four Mario Kart sixty four. Rather, 183 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,639 it is the first one I played, so I have 184 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,480 a lot of installagic for that one, but I never 185 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:20,720 played like the two D games. And you know, Super 186 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Circuit is one I played recently on the Switch online 187 00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:25,000 service when they added it there and just does not 188 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560 play well. I think it's really hard to see what's 189 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,879 going on that. I feel like so much of the 190 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:32,200 love I have for Mario Kart is that compared to 191 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,440 other racing games, you just get crazy maps, crazy worlds, 192 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,960 and it's just so fun to be in that world. 193 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,519 But never feels the same with these two versions of 194 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,480 the game. I don't really like the controls. I'm probably 195 00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:42,600 really bad at these games too. There's very few options, 196 00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:44,480 a lot of the maps look very similar, so they 197 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,679 just don't really do anything for me, to be honest, 198 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,240 So that's why they fall to the absolute bottom of 199 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,679 the list. Number forty three A is where I put 200 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,600 Mario Paint, which you know, it's almost weird to put 201 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,120 on this list at all because it does feel like 202 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,799 more of a novelty or a toy than it does 203 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,759 a actual video game, And you know, I strewed around 204 00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:03,240 with it for a little bit. It's fun to see 205 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,159 how the most controls work. I guess on the switch too, 206 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,519 but that's all it kind of was to me. I 207 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,759 like making pixel art, but I'd rather do that on 208 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:12,600 my computer with my mouse and keyboard and not have 209 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,240 to do it using a switch to Joycon mouse functionality 210 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,639 on a game that came out thirty years ago, So 211 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,039 you know, it's cool for what it is, and I 212 00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:22,240 think if I had it as a kid, I would 213 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,759 have loved it, but it doesn't really have any nostalgia 214 00:09:25,879 --> 00:09:28,080 room in my heart, So it just falls to forty three. 215 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,240 And then at forty two, I've got Mario and Sonic 216 00:09:30,279 --> 00:09:32,000 at the Olympic Games, which I think is a game 217 00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:33,879 I did quite enjoy. I think it was maybe a 218 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:36,759 rental a couple of times in the Wei era, and 219 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,159 I did like what it was. It kind of a 220 00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:40,639 mix up of the Mario sports games, having a lot 221 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000 more different types of sports in there, but I honestly 222 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,519 just can't remember a whole lot of it. It's been 223 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,559 a long time since I've played it, so it just 224 00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:51,360 falls down for that particular reason. At forty one is 225 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,919 where I've got Mario Golf, and I will say Mario 226 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,759 Golf is maybe of these sports games, just the one 227 00:09:57,759 --> 00:10:00,080 I've played the least amount of games in the series, 228 00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:02,120 and it is also the one that I want to 229 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,799 put more time into because I do like golf games, 230 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,279 and I like Mario Golf games. The ones i've messed 231 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,240 around with a little bit, but really there's only one 232 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,600 that I've spent a ton of hours in, and that 233 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,759 one's coming up way higher in the list. But when 234 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:15,320 I played some Mario Golf on the N sixty four 235 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,840 version recently with switch online, it just didn't really hit 236 00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:20,720 the same. I do like some of the weird characters 237 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:22,679 to get in there. There's some strange people that make 238 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,559 it in there, but I just found it kind of 239 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,039 hard to see. The mechanics weren't that engaging, the maps 240 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,080 weren't all that special, and I feel like they've gotten 241 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,559 more fun in Arcadie as the series has gone along. 242 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,159 This one did not really do a whole lot for me. 243 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,639 And number forty I have Super Mario thirty five, which 244 00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,799 I think for the meme. I put it at roughly 245 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,639 thirty five last time, but now that there's a lot 246 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,240 more games on the list, it doesn't quite quite squeak 247 00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,759 that high. I didn't really care much for this one 248 00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:51,720 for I forget this forgets This is pretty much like 249 00:10:51,759 --> 00:10:54,799 the two D Mario Battle Royale that they had in 250 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:58,120 the during the thirty fifth anniversary year. I don't know. 251 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,679 I played a few rounds of it, but it just 252 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,879 wasn't really my cup of tea. I think it is 253 00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:03,480 a really cool idea, and I think it'd be interesting if 254 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,080 they tried it again or did a rerelease of it 255 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,759 at some point Marigo forty, Margo fifty and then just 256 00:11:07,759 --> 00:11:10,960 added more features and things like that and hopefully kept 257 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,320 it around. I don't like that they just have a 258 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,480 limited time release on it, but yeah, I think it's 259 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,480 an interesting game, but not one that I particularly care 260 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,679 for a whole lot. Number thirty nine, I have Mario's 261 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,639 Pick Cross, which you know there honestly, isn't too much 262 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,159 unique with this one compared to other Pick Cross games, 263 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,240 other than the fact that you get Mario art and 264 00:11:29,519 --> 00:11:31,360 pixel art and things like that, which can be kind 265 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,039 of fun. I like Pickcross enough, but I don't think 266 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,879 Pitcross is ever a game that's gonna make it in 267 00:11:35,919 --> 00:11:37,759 my top ten of the year, never gonna be in 268 00:11:37,759 --> 00:11:39,840 my top one hundred games of all time. I like it. 269 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,919 It's a good little time killer, a simple kind of 270 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,279 puzzle game that's satisfying to fill in, but not really 271 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:47,200 something that's gonna climb high on a list. So honestly, 272 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,639 the fact that Mario's Pitcross is even crushing a few 273 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:51,840 of these other games that might be some people's favorite 274 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:55,759 Mario games is quite impressive. I should say number thirty 275 00:11:55,799 --> 00:11:58,679 eight is the first one that maybe you know, would 276 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,600 be controversial to some but not controversial to the majority. 277 00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:05,039 And that's gonna be Super Mario Sunshine, which for me, 278 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,080 I'm definitely on the side of the camp that is. Yeah, 279 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:09,879 I'm not a big fan of Sunshine. I don't like 280 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080 the moving over that much. I don't really like the 281 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,399 environment a whole lot, the vibes, and you know, it's 282 00:12:15,399 --> 00:12:17,720 a game I definitely spent more time with recently with 283 00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:19,919 the three D All Stars collection. You may have noticed 284 00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:21,200 by the way three D All Stars I do not 285 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,320 have as a separate entry on this list, just because 286 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,840 it is more or less a collection of three games 287 00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:30,360 without really many meaningful additions to them. But yeah, Sunshine 288 00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:32,440 not really my cup of tea. Now, I know Taylor 289 00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:35,759 and Travis are big fans, so they might think it's 290 00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:36,960 way too low on the list, but you know what, 291 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,879 that's to each their own. For me, you gotta have 292 00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:41,600 a least favorite Mario three D game, and for me, 293 00:12:41,639 --> 00:12:46,559 it definitely is Sunshine. Jumping up to number thirty seven. 294 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:49,120 This is where I have super Mario Party. This is 295 00:12:49,159 --> 00:12:51,879 the first Mario Party that came out on the Switch, 296 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:54,080 and one I do not own, to be fair, so 297 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,360 I think if I spent more time with it, maybe 298 00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,600 would climb up a little bit. I did enjoy a 299 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,039 little bit that was going on there, but I did 300 00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,759 finally that it was a pretty imbalanced game. You know, 301 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:04,360 people getting like multiple dice, multiple characters and stuff. While 302 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,360 I like the idea of that in concept and gathering 303 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,120 a little team a squad is cool, I do think 304 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,919 it made the game like even jankier than it needs 305 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,480 to be. And this is Mario Party, so it should 306 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,600 be janky. It should have that level of silliness to it. 307 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,440 There was a lack of map variety. I think they 308 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,080 eventually added online to the game, like years and years 309 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,399 down the line. Yeah, But like I said, since I 310 00:13:25,399 --> 00:13:27,879 didn't own it, I didn't spend as many extensive hours 311 00:13:27,879 --> 00:13:29,279 with it. But again, it's Mario Party. You're not going 312 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,039 to spend a million hours with it. I've played three 313 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,360 or four matches of this and I'm happy to put 314 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:38,720 it at thirty seven on the list, number thirty six. 315 00:13:38,919 --> 00:13:41,240 This one I'm curious to see how if people think 316 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,919 this would be too low. But it is the original 317 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,080 Super Mario Bros. The original two D platformer. Of course, 318 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,960 there was that trilogy on the NES, but I don't 319 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,639 really care much for the first game. I also had 320 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:55,039 this one as a kid, But you know, I think 321 00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:58,120 probably I played Mario three first just because it had 322 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,440 the colorful yellow box art and I was, you know, 323 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720 a pheromone for the eyes of a child, So I 324 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,039 went and played that one first, and I think going 325 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,480 back to the original Marios like this doesn't hit the same. 326 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,039 It didn't have the co op. I don't think that 327 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,440 the I mean, even the multiplayer in Mario three was 328 00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:14,039 switch off, but me and my sister would do that 329 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,480 for hours. Didn't have as much reverence for the original 330 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,559 Super Mario Bros. And when I go back to it, 331 00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:22,120 it's just not my cup of tea. I like. I 332 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,480 think I'm pretty particular with the platformers I like, and 333 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,240 there's something about Super Mario Bros. That just does not 334 00:14:26,279 --> 00:14:29,080 really do it for me. Of course, extremely important game. 335 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,679 If this was the list of the most important Mario games, 336 00:14:31,679 --> 00:14:34,399 it would be probably number one or number top five 337 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,279 at least. But yeah, for me personally, it falls pretty 338 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,919 low on the list. Not my cup of tea. And 339 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,200 right above that is New Super Mario Bros. Two. So 340 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,799 this is the New Super Mario Bros. I believe that 341 00:14:44,879 --> 00:14:47,320 three S and I could be wrong about that, but 342 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,840 I think that just goes to show how little this 343 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:50,960 game means to me. The New Super Mario Bros. That 344 00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,960 era even like three D land to be honest, New 345 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,840 super Mario Bros. New super Mario Bros. Too. Not not 346 00:14:58,919 --> 00:15:01,000 really my thing. It just I didn't really like this 347 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:02,759 era as much. I don't feel like the game plays 348 00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:05,360 all that interesting, doesn't feel like it's trying anything new 349 00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:08,360 and weird, like wonder you know how when over the 350 00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,399 top of that, and also there's sorts of crazy new stuff. 351 00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:13,519 I don't feel like the New Mario Bro games added 352 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:15,799 anything like that. I feel like they just are a 353 00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:18,000 bit stale, a little bit stagnant for me. And so 354 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,639 this one falls to this point on the list, and 355 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,799 then we jump up to number thirty four, whereas we're 356 00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:27,639 where is where I have Mario Tennis. So this is 357 00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:31,480 the first Mario Tennis game on the end sixty four. Again, 358 00:15:31,679 --> 00:15:34,080 I think this is a series that just has kind 359 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,000 of gotten better or at least just feels a bit 360 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,519 better in the basic gameplay of it. So yeah, I 361 00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,320 don't know. I don't have a whole lot of instagier 362 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,159 for the original one number thirty three. I have Supermoro 363 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200 three D Land, which is a game that I would 364 00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,000 like to revisit someday and do a full co op. 365 00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:50,360 I think mostly when I was playing it, I was 366 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,799 mostly playing single player, which is kind of sad for 367 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,480 what that game is. But we no longer exists, as 368 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,399 it was lost in a house fire, so I don't 369 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,360 think I'll ever play this game again. Maybe. I guess 370 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,559 they do have the three D Lan plus Bowser's Fear 371 00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:03,879 on the switch, so if that ever goes on like 372 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:05,919 a nice discount, I actually would love to pick that 373 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,240 up play this game some more, and specifically the Bowser's 374 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,279 Fury part seems really cool and really quite unique as 375 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,679 far as Mario three D platformer games go, so someday 376 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:17,799 I will check that out, hopefully, you know, hopefully, I'm 377 00:16:17,799 --> 00:16:20,039 gonna say hopefully, before the next Mario movie comes out, 378 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,000 I will have picked up Bowser's Fury or borrowed up 379 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,559 from someone. Maybe I can rent it from the library 380 00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:25,559 or something like that, and I can have a higher 381 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,279 ranking for this one, and I would, of course just 382 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,840 go with that one version, kind of combine them together, 383 00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,639 and let's see. I think I'll go into thirty two here. 384 00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:39,080 I'm gonna whisper this one, super Mario. Honestly, so hopefully 385 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,679 you didn't hear that if you're a big fan of 386 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,960 this game, because I know that I am the outliar here. 387 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,679 I'm probably the only one who would have this game 388 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:51,240 this low on the list, super Mario. Honestly, I did 389 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:54,159 not like this game. It did not do the trick 390 00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:57,159 for me. I didn't really care for the movement. It 391 00:16:57,159 --> 00:16:59,120 felt kind of clunky and weird. I don't really like 392 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,279 the physics of mar I don't like the hat. I 393 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,559 don't think the hat adds fun movement options to me. 394 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,519 I do like throwing the hat on different creatures and 395 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:09,799 getting to transform into them and move around as them. 396 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,480 That part I did enjoy, But in terms of like 397 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,960 throwing the hat and like dashing into the hat and 398 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,319 bouncing off the hat or whatever, that stuff doesn't really 399 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:18,279 feel great to me. I don't like like rolling never 400 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,920 feels particularly good. Yeah, I think the level design is okay, 401 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,720 but I think the game just it tried to add 402 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,039 so many moons that I think it just kind of 403 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,759 dilutes everything, because nothing really feels like an achievement anymore. 404 00:17:32,759 --> 00:17:35,920 You're just kind of getting tiny little dopamine hits without 405 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,200 having to earn a whole lot of them, instead of 406 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,480 getting like having to work for something bigger, which is 407 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,759 not necessarily what I even want out of a Mario game, right. 408 00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:44,400 This isn't a Soul's game as something I don't need, 409 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,000 like some six hour gauntlet of platforming to to get 410 00:17:48,039 --> 00:17:51,319 like one Star, but I think Odyssey really diluted it 411 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,039 in a way that just did not work for me. 412 00:17:53,559 --> 00:17:56,119 I do like some of the themes of the worlds 413 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,319 we go to, but I think even just in comparison, 414 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,480 like if if we look at Mario Odyssey and then 415 00:18:01,519 --> 00:18:04,759 we look at Donkey Kong Bonanza, like, I wait, prefer 416 00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:07,400 what Bonanza is doing in the kind of the switch 417 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,960 era of the three D three D open world platform 418 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,519 were kind of formula. I think it's just more that 419 00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:15,680 thickens more fun to smash and crash and bash through things. 420 00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:18,519 But I just don't really find anything in Odyssey particularly 421 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,000 enjoyable to do, so I do like that there is 422 00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,279 some strange worlds, like I like New Donk City is 423 00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:26,559 a fun location, you know, the like dar Soul's world, 424 00:18:26,599 --> 00:18:28,160 even though that's a pretty short one with like the 425 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,960 crazy dragon and stuff. So that in like the food world, 426 00:18:31,079 --> 00:18:32,880 and I like some of the stuff that's going on here. 427 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240 But that's why, you know, at least climbs past ten 428 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,440 fifteen other Mario games on my ranking, but definitely, you know, 429 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,079 pull one hundred people on the street, I'd probably have 430 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,519 this lowest on that if good luck find a hundred 431 00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:48,200 people on street who have played Mario Odissey, maybe that 432 00:18:48,279 --> 00:18:50,359 is the case. I wonder how many people you would 433 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,039 have to talk to on the street until you got 434 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,839 to one hundred people who have played Odyssey. Someone someone 435 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,359 do that. That sounds like a funny YouTube video. You have 436 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,480 my permission to take that idea. Number thirty one we 437 00:19:00,559 --> 00:19:03,640 have Mario Kart seven. This is the Mario Kart on 438 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,720 the three DS, which I think is to me really 439 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,799 hampered by the fact that it is on the on 440 00:19:08,839 --> 00:19:10,880 the three DS and not a home console where I'm 441 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,400 mostly playing these Mario Kart games, playing them with friends, 442 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,079 playing coach co op getting two to four people down 443 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,839 doing stuff because you know, especially when you play Mario 444 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,559 Kart eight and it feels like it adds a ton 445 00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:22,400 of cool things to the series. But I feel like 446 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,000 Mario Kart seven actually was the game that introduced a 447 00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:27,799 lot of those mechanics, and then eight kind of built 448 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:30,960 off of them. But because seven is on the three DS, 449 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,279 it just you kind of forget about that a little bit. 450 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:34,559 But it is a really good game, has some really 451 00:19:34,599 --> 00:19:37,000 good maps, and I do really enjoy it, but I 452 00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:38,759 just I'm not gonna get as much playtime out of 453 00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,119 it just because of the nature of it being on 454 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,279 the three DS. So yeah, I like the game. I 455 00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:46,960 would like to spend more time with it, but it's 456 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,559 like at this point, I'm just gonna play more World 457 00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,400 and I'm just gonna go back to Mario Kadia until Lux. 458 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,640 So it just kind of sinks a little bit for 459 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,759 that particular reason. Number thirty I have Mario Party three, 460 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,920 you know, definitely on the N six four era of 461 00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:04,519 Mario Party that was my era. I love Mario Party two, 462 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,480 which is definitely higher on the list. I guess I'll 463 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,000 spoil that right now. Little teas for future for like 464 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,559 twenty minutes from now. Whatever it is. Mario Party three 465 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,799 good game. I like the maps, has some good mini 466 00:20:14,799 --> 00:20:16,400 games to it. I'm just way more insulted for the 467 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,279 other one because I didn't own three. I've only played 468 00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:21,599 that with Travis and Emily and Crewe in the gv era, 469 00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:23,920 so it doesn't have as much staying power for me. 470 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,279 But I guess it is on the switch on the 471 00:20:25,319 --> 00:20:27,599 line now, I believe, so I should play some more 472 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,119 games of that next time. I'm looking to do some 473 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,480 partying up. And let's go to number twenty nine, which 474 00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:38,799 is Mario Tennis Open. This is another three DS game here. 475 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,240 I think this game's really good, has a lot of 476 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,000 fun mechanics to it, really good roster, big roster of characters. 477 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,119 I definitely am intrigued by the new one that is 478 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,359 called Mario Tennis Blaze. No, I was about to say 479 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,640 get Blaze. That's definitely not it. To Mario Tennis Fever. 480 00:20:55,799 --> 00:20:57,279 Fever is the new one. I think that game looks 481 00:20:57,279 --> 00:20:59,119 really cool. I'd love to play that someday, but again, 482 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,920 what is it like one hundred and fifty dollars? Yeah, right, 483 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359 I'm not playing that. Mario Tennis Open, though really fun 484 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,640 tennis game, really actually quite good mechanics, good use of 485 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,759 the touch pad I found as well on the three 486 00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:12,960 DS there, So yeah, good game, good game. Jumping up 487 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,079 to twenty eight, and I guess with this point, maybe 488 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,200 with the twenty nine upwards, I feel like I've now 489 00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:19,880 jumped up a tier and these are games that I 490 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,759 quite enjoy, games that I These are all games that 491 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:25,319 are that I think are good games that I personally enjoy. 492 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,119 I'd say I like them, whereas the ones below this 493 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,880 i'd maybe more neutral on. So yeah, twenty eight. That 494 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,200 puts us at Super Mario Land two six Golden Coins, 495 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,440 which I only played recently through again switch online because 496 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,680 I didn't have the original game Boy. I like this 497 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,279 game a lot. It's it's weird. The worlds that you 498 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,279 go to are very strange. It's a very short game, 499 00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:47,480 which I quite enjoyed. Just having like a little two 500 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,079 hour long platformer experience to get through a whole Mario 501 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,599 game is really cool. I love the design of the levels. 502 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,960 As I said, some of the some strange enemies that 503 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,480 I've never seen any other Mario games. So as like 504 00:21:59,519 --> 00:22:02,359 an audit, as like something you'd find, you know, in 505 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,319 an antique shop, like under three drawers and dusty old 506 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,240 papers and stuff. It's just like as like a nice 507 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:12,240 little hidden gem, a little six golden jewel gem. I 508 00:22:12,279 --> 00:22:14,880 don't know what this analogy is. I'm just gonna drop 509 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,720 it right there. Very cool game though, and I do 510 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,400 want to play the other ones. I should check if 511 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,519 the other Mario Land games are on Switch online. Now. 512 00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:22,039 I don't even know how many of them are there. 513 00:22:22,039 --> 00:22:24,720 I think there's well, there's one, two, I think three. 514 00:22:25,799 --> 00:22:27,920 Isn't it like Super Mario Land three is like Warrior 515 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,720 World or something, right, It's almost like a Yoshi's Island situation. 516 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,640 So I got to look into the history of this 517 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,160 a little bit more. But I really enjoyed this game. 518 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,000 I definitely want to check out the other ones because 519 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,680 it's weird and different as far as Mario twod platformers, 520 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,559 and I feel like it was kind of the time 521 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,640 and place for them to get a little bit strange 522 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,640 with it, get a little weird, whereas the rest of 523 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,759 the games in the series kind of play it pretty straight. 524 00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:51,200 So yeah, show us to this game. Quite enjoyable, and 525 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,839 then right above that, this one also might feel too 526 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,759 low for a lot of people. Number twenty seven is 527 00:22:56,759 --> 00:23:01,519 where I have Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Nintendo Switch. 528 00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:04,759 You know, a good game for sure, solid platforming game, 529 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,400 some fun worlds. The Wonder Seed stuff was cool and all, 530 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:10,599 but I just don't think this game resonated with me. 531 00:23:10,839 --> 00:23:12,240 I played through the whole thing I can co op, 532 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,680 which I did quite enjoy, like I'm in a big 533 00:23:13,759 --> 00:23:15,920 roster of characters pick from, even though they play all 534 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,079 the same. But yeah, I don't think this game resonate 535 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,839 with me in a way that just warmed my heart 536 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,400 or didn't. You know. I'm just not gonna be as 537 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,680 a nostalgic for it, which I think is a big 538 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,240 factor of a ton of the games on this list, 539 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,039 which I'm fully admitting that admitting to that. But yeah, 540 00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:35,079 Mario Wonder, it's solid. I like it. It's a good game, 541 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:36,680 it's a well made game. I had a good time 542 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:40,119 playing through it. But it's also one that I don't 543 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,920 know if I ever see myself playing it again, like 544 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,279 maybe fifteen years from now or something when I completely 545 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:46,119 forgot about it. But I just don't know if it's 546 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,279 everyone I want to revisit, And so I think because 547 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,079 of that, it drops down the list. Whereas like almost 548 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,519 any other game on this above this point on the 549 00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:56,000 list our games, I would want to boot up some 550 00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:58,200 time for the nostalgia hit, or to play through again, 551 00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:00,759 or to play with a friend and Mario wonder. I 552 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,759 just I just don't see myself ever wanting that again. 553 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,400 Twenty six Marriok Kart Double Dash, which I think probably 554 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,079 falls a bit low just because I never owned the 555 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:12,680 game myself, had a neighbor, a good buddy of mine 556 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,319 who had it growing up and played it with the 557 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,920 GV boys a little bit. But yeah, I think it's 558 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,759 a really cool game. I like that within the series. 559 00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,920 It's hard sometimes to find within the Mario Kart series 560 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,400 games that are truly unique from one another. You know, 561 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,559 usually they have like one or two new gimmicks to them, 562 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,680 but sometimes it's just like, oh, what's the wheeze, gimme gimmick. 563 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,039 It's like motion controls, which you know, doesn't feel like 564 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,319 the in hindsight that that revolutionary. But Double Dash was 565 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,880 doing something different, something we haven't seen since, something I 566 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,279 don't know if we'll ever see again, And for that reason, 567 00:24:43,319 --> 00:24:45,559 it'll always be a really unique entry in the series, 568 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,119 and because of the Double Dash mechanic, you also get 569 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,160 some weirdier characters in there. I know, I guess Mario 570 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,400 kartt World that introduced a ton of weirdos in terms 571 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,039 of the roster there. But I really do like Double Dash. 572 00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:57,440 It's a game I'd like to spend more time with. 573 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,240 Hopefully on one of these twenty four hour streams, somebody 574 00:25:00,279 --> 00:25:02,160 can get some Double Dash going, because that one I 575 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,880 would really like to play some put some more hours into. 576 00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:06,759 I'm sure there's a few maps that I haven't even 577 00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:09,200 played before because I just don't remember it quite as 578 00:25:09,599 --> 00:25:12,359 quite as well. And I think with that that leaves 579 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,599 us at twenty five. So maybe I'll take a quick 580 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:20,119 break just to say a shout out to you know, 581 00:25:20,279 --> 00:25:22,000 join the patron. The Patroon's the best place to go 582 00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,960 to get episodes early and add free. You get all 583 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,720 sorts of things. We had a million polls that were 584 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,039 going on there, so you can decide a lot of 585 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,880 the content that we make. You get to join us 586 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,359 on After nine, which is a Patreon exclusive show. We 587 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,880 just get to talk to us shoot the shit. We're 588 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,680 gonna do some I think a game night or something 589 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,119 like that. Soon, so we're gonna mix it up, do 590 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,400 some fun things, maybe a movie watch along. We try 591 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,000 to keep things fresh, you know, have a month we're 592 00:25:45,039 --> 00:25:46,519 just talking about there's a bunch of new movies that 593 00:25:46,559 --> 00:25:49,079 came out. We'll just talk about movies, talk about games 594 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,000 when it's relevant, but all sorts of other fun stuff. 595 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,799 Definitely joined the Discord as I've been pimping out recently. 596 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,079 Taylor put quite a lot of TLC into it to 597 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:01,279 boost it up. Quite fun. There's a lot more going 598 00:26:01,319 --> 00:26:03,519 on in there now, some new channels. It's a lot 599 00:26:03,559 --> 00:26:05,839 more organized. All that fun stuff. You can even wrap 600 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,279 your little server icons. You can wrap that Geek first 601 00:26:09,319 --> 00:26:12,359 pride all across a Discord as you will. But yeah, 602 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,759 thank you everyone so much for supporting the show. Of course, 603 00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:17,720 check out our Mario review which is coming down in 604 00:26:17,759 --> 00:26:21,039 just a couple of days here. And yeah, we'll be 605 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,079 back next week as we always are with more different 606 00:26:24,079 --> 00:26:26,000 side Quest stuff. I don't know what's happening next week 607 00:26:26,039 --> 00:26:28,559 on side Quest. I think it might actually be not 608 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,319 this week, but the week after you get a little takeover. 609 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,519 It's gonna be a Kirkland Taylor duo episodes. So I'm 610 00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:34,480 really excited to see what they cook up. There's always 611 00:26:34,519 --> 00:26:36,200 some fun stuff going on. But how about that we 612 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:42,640 jumped our quick first ad break and we'll be right back. Okay, 613 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,880 we are back into the top twenty. Well, I just yeah, 614 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,319 we left to have twenty six. Let's go to the 615 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:53,440 top twenty five. We've got Super Mario Sluggers. Actually I 616 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,680 think it's called Mario Super Sluggers, just to make things 617 00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:59,400 extremely confusing. Mario's Super Sluggers. Yeah, this is this is 618 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,759 a game I not own, but I've definitely played a 619 00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:04,000 lot with the geek first boys. It's a fun time. 620 00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:07,039 It's a goofy game. It's a silly game, but you 621 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:09,200 know it's a good one too. Honestly, now that I'm 622 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,480 looking at I should probably about Double Dash above this. 623 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,000 You know what, live on air, who is gonna say 624 00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,599 a thing about it. I'm changing the order of the list. 625 00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:22,359 Sluggers has dropped down to number twenty seven, not a 626 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,640 huge drop. Mario Wonder has gone up to number twenty six, 627 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,160 and then Mario Kurk Double Dash has gone up to 628 00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:29,240 number twenty five. I liked having Double Dash in the 629 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:34,720 top twenty five. That feels right intuitively and instinctively. Number 630 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,559 twenty four is where I have Mario plus Rabid's Kingdom Battle, 631 00:27:38,279 --> 00:27:39,960 which is a game that really surprised me. It's a 632 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,400 really good game. It's a really solid, unique tactics game, 633 00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:45,920 sort of a little more X calmy, but in terms, 634 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,400 you know, I've played a ton of Fire and Bloom 635 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,200 in my life, but this is not trying to be that. 636 00:27:49,279 --> 00:27:52,359 It's not trying to be fire ambleum, but with Mario characters, 637 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,160 it's trying to be something different, unique, and I think 638 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,720 it does that with its mechanics. Really cool game. Good 639 00:27:57,759 --> 00:28:00,200 dealc in there too, with some Donkey Kong stuff. Game 640 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,960 I've not rolled credits on yet, which you know, if 641 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,000 I did, maybe it would be higher on the list. 642 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,200 But I do really enjoy what is here already. Yeah, 643 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,440 pretty cool game. Number twenty three is where I have 644 00:28:10,599 --> 00:28:15,720 Mario Kart World, which honestly feels like a placeholder. I 645 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,640 don't think it will drop really much lower than this point, 646 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,400 but I think this game will get updates at some point, 647 00:28:21,519 --> 00:28:24,000 I imagine. But you know, as you saw with Mario 648 00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,559 Kart eight, sometimes they just drop DLC for a Mario 649 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,599 Kart game years after the fact, So I don't know 650 00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,160 when this stuff will come, and there was a leak 651 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,720 a few days ago, and maybe there's some DLC coming 652 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:34,920 later this year for Mario Kart World. So I just 653 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,559 I think I've already put a lot of hours in 654 00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:37,720 this game. I do really like it. I like the 655 00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:40,400 new mechanics, I like grinding and will riding, some of 656 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,839 the new items I like. I like the open world 657 00:28:42,839 --> 00:28:44,319 for what it is. Obviously there isn't like a ton 658 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,039 of interesting questions and whatnot. But I had a good 659 00:28:46,039 --> 00:28:48,720 time cruising around getting all the costumes. I love having 660 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,440 new costumes. I love all the Freak Show characters that 661 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,000 are in the mix. I like the cart, the race, 662 00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:56,359 the maps is the world it's looking for, the courses 663 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:59,680 and the races, they're all good. I really really like 664 00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:02,759 this game quite a lot, and you know, I played 665 00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,319 it a lot when the console first came out of the 666 00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:06,640 switch too, And it's just one I just know it 667 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,680 is going to get a ton more hours played over 668 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,720 the course of the switch to Lifespan. DLC or not 669 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,319 is just the one you boot up every once in 670 00:29:13,359 --> 00:29:15,720 a while. And yes, just because of the quantity that 671 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,359 Mario Kart eight has, I'll still go back to that 672 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,720 game sometimes too, but to be honest, since the release 673 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,240 of Mario Kart World, I have not. I have not 674 00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:23,440 gone back to the old one yet because Marcott World 675 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,680 has still been a really good time for me, so 676 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,680 I really really enjoyed that game. And then right above 677 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,400 it at twenty two, I've got Mario Party Jamboree, the 678 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,759 latest Mario Party game. I mean, actually, I'm gonna bundle 679 00:29:33,799 --> 00:29:35,759 this too. Even jumping up right up to number twenty 680 00:29:35,799 --> 00:29:38,000 one is where I have Mario Party Superstars. So the 681 00:29:38,039 --> 00:29:40,519 other two switch games. Of course, Super Mario Party was 682 00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:42,279 dropped lower. These two I have right next to each 683 00:29:42,319 --> 00:29:44,759 other because they're pretty equivalent to my mind. If someone 684 00:29:44,839 --> 00:29:46,599 wanted to was at my house and we're gonna play 685 00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,240 some Mario Party, it'd be a toy cost from Yeah, 686 00:29:49,319 --> 00:29:51,119 toy costs for me, whether or not we do Superstars 687 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,400 or jambree both really good games. I really like the 688 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,000 maps in both of them. Different mini games you got 689 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,880 in there, just both really really fun times. I haven't 690 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,119 played like the new updates up for Jamboree with the 691 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,079 switch to version, because I'm not gonna shell out twenty 692 00:30:04,119 --> 00:30:06,680 five bucks for some random add ons for that, but 693 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,240 I really like both these games. Have had a lot 694 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,839 of fun with both of them, and I will continue 695 00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:12,720 to It's been a while since I've played Mario Party, 696 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,440 actually because I don't think we did on the last 697 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,799 twenty four hour stream, and personally I'm not booted one 698 00:30:17,839 --> 00:30:20,000 up in a bit, so I'm definitely craving some Mario 699 00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:21,960 Party here. Could use some of that in my life. 700 00:30:22,559 --> 00:30:26,359 Mario Party super Stars already showed that one I would 701 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,160 sell me just forget about that. Number twenty is new 702 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,480 Super Mario Bros. So I mentioned this earlier that I'm 703 00:30:31,519 --> 00:30:34,480 not a big fan of this era. Of the two 704 00:30:34,519 --> 00:30:36,000 D Mario games, this is the one on the Wii, 705 00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:38,680 This one I have a higher on the list, quite 706 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,640 a lot higher on the list, I guess, just because 707 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,160 of the definitely nostalgia for it. It was one that I 708 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640 played a lot with friends, the co op on. It 709 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,960 was quite fun. I did like the new caught, like 710 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,319 the there's like the Propeller suit. I think the Ice 711 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,799 Mario I think was a new as well. And I 712 00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:54,160 just remember having like a ton of fun in this 713 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,799 game and doing a ton like trying like I feel 714 00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:58,599 like all the collectibles and stuff. It was just one 715 00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,880 of those games on the Wii that just me and 716 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,400 my friends would play endlessly. So even though I don't 717 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,119 necessarily love just the general style of it, I do 718 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,559 think this is a game that I had a lot 719 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:09,720 of fun with, and mostly because of that co op 720 00:31:09,759 --> 00:31:12,960 angle to it. Number nineteen, I have Super Mario Maker. 721 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,759 I've never played the second one, and I was just 722 00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:19,039 theorizing with Travis on last week's episode two weeks ago 723 00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:21,880 that I'd love to see a Mario Maker come back. 724 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,079 I definitely wanted to come back into a three D format. 725 00:31:24,119 --> 00:31:25,400 I think that would be really fun, but that is 726 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,400 quite a lot to ask. If they did make it 727 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,079 just a Super Mario Maker three and it was just 728 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:31,480 two D, I might pick it up at this point, honestly, 729 00:31:31,519 --> 00:31:34,079 because I played this one on the WU haven't played 730 00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:36,319 it in a few years, never picked up the second one. 731 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,279 I really liked what the idea of this game is 732 00:31:38,319 --> 00:31:41,200 obviously just pinding the creativity to the fans, giving them 733 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,799 all the tools to make crazy stuff. I like making 734 00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:46,680 some levels too every once in a while, and yeah, 735 00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:48,839 especially with the Mibo in there, to get all these 736 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,480 costumes for all these other Nintendo characters was really fun. 737 00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:54,279 So yeah, shout outs to Mario maker. Really really good game. 738 00:31:54,599 --> 00:31:57,119 It's just been a long time since I've played it. Unfortunately, again, 739 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,599 that we you of mine is long long, you know, 740 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,519 crumbling pile of dust, So I unfortunately cannot replay this 741 00:32:03,559 --> 00:32:06,640 game in that sense. So hoping for that third entry 742 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,319 at some point. Here a number eighteen. I have Mario 743 00:32:09,359 --> 00:32:11,559 Golf Super Rush, which I think for a lot of 744 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,519 people who are hardcore Mario Golf heads they say this 745 00:32:14,599 --> 00:32:16,240 was not one of the best entries in the series, 746 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,359 but I have not played the better ones. Like I know, 747 00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:20,640 the Game Boy Advanced one is apparently really good. The 748 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,400 three DS version is apparently really good, but I have 749 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,799 not played those games. For me, this is kind of 750 00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:28,680 the the top Mario Golf game, and you know, it's 751 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,960 definitely got some jank in it in terms of some mechanics. 752 00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:33,039 Some of the graphics are pretty weak, to be honest. 753 00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:34,799 But I had a ton of fun with this game, 754 00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:37,079 played a lot of it, and they kept adding like 755 00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:39,920 new maps every couple of months, and me and my 756 00:32:40,079 --> 00:32:41,680 partner at the time would play a ton of that 757 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,799 stuff just over and over again through the summer months. 758 00:32:44,839 --> 00:32:47,519 It was a really good time. I look back fondly 759 00:32:47,559 --> 00:32:49,480 on my time with Super Rush, and yeah, it's been 760 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,599 a while how since I've played it, but I really 761 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,200 really enjoyed what that game is, So shout outs to 762 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,160 mariof Super Rush. Number seventeen is where I have Super 763 00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,680 Mario World two Yoshi's Eye, which is another one that 764 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,799 probably feels too low for a lot of people, but 765 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,079 a game I didn't own growing up. Didn't play it 766 00:33:06,119 --> 00:33:09,200 as a kid, whereas I played like the other trilogy 767 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:13,640 and world. Sumaro World two slipped through my fingers because 768 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,720 I didn't have an SNS at the time. I think 769 00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:17,720 it's probably on the game Boy Advance, but I didn't 770 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,279 have that version so never really played this one when 771 00:33:20,319 --> 00:33:22,000 I was younger. I had have gone back to play 772 00:33:22,079 --> 00:33:23,400 some of it since, and I do like some of 773 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,079 the mechanics in there for sure, but I think without 774 00:33:26,119 --> 00:33:28,799 having a nostalgic lens, I just couldn't get quite into 775 00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:31,839 it as I could with some other games. So seventeen though, 776 00:33:31,839 --> 00:33:34,680 for a game that I just think on its merits alone, 777 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,200 good level design, fun game, unique mechanics, cool new setting 778 00:33:38,319 --> 00:33:41,039 for the Mario game. Switching off the character a little 779 00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:44,039 bit right with implementing Yoshi more, having baby Mario in 780 00:33:44,079 --> 00:33:45,799 the mix. Just a lot of fun stuff to be 781 00:33:45,839 --> 00:33:47,880 had there, so it still climbs pretty high on the list. 782 00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:52,000 And then at number sixteen, I have Mario Strikers, the 783 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:54,960 original one for the game Cube, which is a great game. 784 00:33:55,119 --> 00:33:57,880 I think for me, just if you've been paying attention 785 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,720 Mario Strikers. This is going to be my lowest of 786 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,920 the tree on the list, but I really do enjoy 787 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,039 this game. I think it's a lot of fun. It 788 00:34:04,079 --> 00:34:06,680 is definitely like the Bare Bones' most basic Mario Strikers, 789 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,519 but I think to some extent that is its strength. 790 00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,480 At the same time, it doesn't add all these layers 791 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,400 on top. Some of these layers can not be great. 792 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,559 I think it's a lot easier for pickup and play. 793 00:34:16,559 --> 00:34:18,079 You don't need to know as many mechanics as you 794 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:20,639 do for Battle League and Mario Strikers Charged. Just with 795 00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:22,519 the most controls and stuff. There's some jank that can 796 00:34:22,559 --> 00:34:24,360 happen in that game for sure, whereas this game feels 797 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,239 a lot more controlled and tight knit. Obviously, it's got 798 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,400 a long history within the geek first as well with 799 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,440 the Gauntlet all sorts of matches challenging each other back 800 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,360 and forth. And it's been will since we've played this 801 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,039 version because we just end up going for the one 802 00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:39,480 on the switch because it's a bit easier to plug 803 00:34:39,519 --> 00:34:42,920 and play. But yeah, I do love the original Maria Strikers. 804 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:45,000 And then right above it at number fifteen, I have 805 00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:48,519 Maria Striker's Battle League, which I previously had at spot 806 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,239 twenty four, So it's jumped up about ten spots. Then 807 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,119 maybe even add a couple more because now there's more 808 00:34:54,159 --> 00:34:56,039 games on the list than there was before. So yeah, 809 00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:58,360 Marius Strikers Battley has gone up. I think since the game. 810 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,679 I'm trying to think of the release of the Mario 811 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,400 movie and accordance to this game. I want to say 812 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,679 there's been more DLC added to the game since it 813 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,000 originally came out. You know, it's not crazy stuff, but 814 00:35:09,079 --> 00:35:10,800 just a few new characters, a couple of new maps, 815 00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:13,119 and nothing too wild. But I think the more I 816 00:35:13,159 --> 00:35:15,920 play this game, and particularly we played quite a few matches, 817 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,519 quite a lot of it actually the last year's twenty 818 00:35:17,519 --> 00:35:19,840 four hour stream, and just reminded me of like how 819 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,440 much I love this game. I think it has really 820 00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,159 really good mechanics to it. There's a lot of complex, 821 00:35:24,599 --> 00:35:27,360 interesting things you can do, a lot of mix up opportunities. 822 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,320 It's not a super zany janky game. It can be, 823 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,320 of course, with like item spam and whatnot. But I 824 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,679 do feel like it's more controlled to some extent, and 825 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,320 it does have like the charge of mechanic, but it 826 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,880 feels like it feels like it took. It's like the 827 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,760 in between in terms of the jankiness of like the 828 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:46,400 original Mario Strikers and Marios Strikers Charged. But I really 829 00:35:46,559 --> 00:35:48,199 really like this game quite a lot. And I think 830 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,360 the customization with the armor and stuff, while we don't 831 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,280 really do that when we're playing ultiplayers just keep it simple. 832 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,599 I just I really enjoy this game, and you know what, 833 00:35:55,639 --> 00:35:57,400 I think pretty good at it too, So that makes 834 00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,840 me feel good about myself. So yeah, I think that's 835 00:36:01,159 --> 00:36:02,679 out of the games that are not new, that's the 836 00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:06,039 game that kind of climbed highest on the list from 837 00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:10,280 its placement last time. And then the game that is 838 00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:12,519 new to the list from the last time and is 839 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:18,000 making its highest debut is Super Mario rp G. Of course, 840 00:36:18,159 --> 00:36:20,920 the remake remaster version. As I mentioned earlier, It was 841 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,800 my first time playing this game. It was kind of 842 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,639 a white whale game for me. One I always wanted 843 00:36:24,679 --> 00:36:27,440 to play, always heard good things, always heard people in 844 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,320 the Smash community desperately wanting Geno added to Smash Bros. 845 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,480 And whatnot. But yeah, I really really enjoyed this game. 846 00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:37,679 You know, it's an RPG that is bite sized relative 847 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,880 to other games in the series. The story and characters 848 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,559 are really weird and strange. I like the gameplay mechanics, 849 00:36:44,599 --> 00:36:49,480 I like all the characters. Good, good strategy, just just 850 00:36:49,639 --> 00:36:52,000 enough amount of strategy and brain power and thinking and 851 00:36:52,039 --> 00:36:55,239 planning and the stuff you want from an RPG. And yeah, 852 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,519 I just love the setting so much. So I really 853 00:36:57,559 --> 00:37:00,679 really enjoyed this game. Definitely. I would love to see 854 00:37:00,679 --> 00:37:03,280 like a sequel to this, you know, a sequel to this, 855 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,000 which we this strange part of the RPG Realm of Mario, 856 00:37:07,039 --> 00:37:09,119 because I know we've got the other stuff with paper 857 00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:11,360 Mario Mario Luigi. But yeah, I think me and Trevis 858 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,519 talked about this with the Sequels episode a couple of 859 00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:15,719 weeks ago as well. I just really love what's going 860 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,079 on here. Number thirteen, and I'm gonna pair it. I'm 861 00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:21,679 number twelve here. So at thirteen, I have Mario Kart 862 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,679 DS and the number twelve, I have Mario Kart we 863 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,960 two games that exist in a very similar place in 864 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,320 my heart because I feel like I was playing them 865 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,360 at the same time. You know, if I was at 866 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,079 home playing with friends, we'd be playing Mario Kart Wee. 867 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,840 If I was on the road, I'd be playing Mario 868 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,920 Kart DS going on a road trip, going camp and 869 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,880 whatever it is in the car ride. And I love 870 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,719 both these games a lot of DS because of that 871 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:41,960 nature of it just being a single player game. For me, 872 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:43,920 I would get like really into it. I feel like 873 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,119 I got really really good at the mechanics of that game, 874 00:37:47,159 --> 00:37:49,239 just doing a lot of the ghost mode to beat 875 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,360 my best times and whatnot. And then Mario Kart Wee 876 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,800 it was more of the classic kind of party experience, 877 00:37:54,199 --> 00:37:56,039 and you know, had the more grandiose scale. I feel 878 00:37:56,039 --> 00:37:58,039 like I had really big maps, and you know, because 879 00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:00,679 I had Mario Kart sixty four but I didn't double dash, 880 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,280 but then I had this one. It felt like quite 881 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,440 a huge jump in terms of the technology from N 882 00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:07,960 sixty four to we At the time added a bunch 883 00:38:08,039 --> 00:38:10,880 more characters, Diddy Kong was in there, which I always loved. 884 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,440 Really great maps, and you can see that with quite 885 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,079 a few of them that ended up making it into 886 00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:18,440 mik Or eight Deluxe. But I really love I really 887 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,320 loved what this game, but both those games were. And 888 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,719 then at number eleven, I have a Super Mario World, which, yeah, 889 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,079 I really love this game. I think this is one 890 00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:30,480 of the finest two D platformers that there ever has been. 891 00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:34,679 I think the big improvement here, you know, mar some 892 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,920 Marvos three had like a world map, but it was 893 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,280 sectioned in two little chunks, and I think world by 894 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,840 kind of connecting that altogether added just a scale to 895 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,000 it that was quite something back in the day, just 896 00:38:46,119 --> 00:38:48,639 comparatively to the other Mario games I'd played at that time. 897 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,159 But really good level design, really great music. I love 898 00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:52,599 the art style in this game. I think they just 899 00:38:52,679 --> 00:38:54,679 nailed it with the pixel art here. It's just so 900 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:59,159 creamy cream not creamy. It's clean and crispy, and the 901 00:38:59,199 --> 00:39:02,880 colors pops so well. Yea Yoshi in the mix as well. 902 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,119 So I really really love se Mario World, a really 903 00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:09,000 great game. We're into the big bad Top ten. Number ten, 904 00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:11,960 I have Mario versus Donkey Kong. I did actually check 905 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,840 out the demo for the remake re release of this 906 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,079 on the Switch. I played a you know, as many 907 00:39:17,159 --> 00:39:19,159 levels as it let me play before the demo cut off, 908 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,760 and if it wasn't so expensive, would probably pickup the 909 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,960 whole thing because there's new levels in there. Because I 910 00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:27,559 really liked the just specific puzzle design that exists with 911 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,840 Mario versus Donkey Kong. And there's something special about this 912 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,559 one because I went back and checked out Don Kong 913 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,760 what's kind of cloaquially known as don y Kong ninety 914 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,559 four on the Game Boy I guess it was on 915 00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:41,079 the original game Boy, yeah, and it's on Switch online. 916 00:39:41,159 --> 00:39:42,800 And I went back and played that recently, and that 917 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,440 was another white whale game for me because I love 918 00:39:44,519 --> 00:39:45,719 this one so much, and that was kind of the 919 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,719 Seek the prequel. I guess the predecessor is the word 920 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,760 I'm looking for. But it didn't hit the same didn't 921 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,960 hit me as well. So there's something about the design 922 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:55,840 of Marver's Don Kong that I just love. I really 923 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,840 like the puzzle design to it. I think it's quite unique. 924 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,880 I really like the art style to it, the colors 925 00:40:00,159 --> 00:40:02,639 pop as well, and yeah, it's just a it's a 926 00:40:02,679 --> 00:40:04,599 really fun game. One I'd like to revisit, and I 927 00:40:04,679 --> 00:40:06,679 mean I have to revisit it recently, but like play 928 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,079 through the whole thing a game is. I don't think 929 00:40:08,079 --> 00:40:09,320 I ever rolled credits on it as a kid. I 930 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,920 think I got stuck because it got too tricky at 931 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:17,559 some point in time. Number nine is Super Mario Bros. Two, 932 00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:22,119 the weird one of the original trilogy. Uh, this game 933 00:40:22,159 --> 00:40:25,199 always kind of creeped me out in like a good way, 934 00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,920 and the good like you know, kids are like really 935 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,880 into weird creepy stuff. Sometimes it was like just that 936 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,480 right amount for me where I was a very scared child, 937 00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:34,679 and this game is not actually scary, so I could 938 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,599 I could understand it, and I could play it and 939 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:39,400 not get too freaked out by it. But it is 940 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,920 a weird game, like Burdo's looking freaky, the like a 941 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,079 hawk mouth that you like jump into to go between 942 00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:49,880 worlds and whatnot. The this the masks chasing you in 943 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,719 that one level, the dark worlds when you like go 944 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,760 behind the doors, when you pick up the potions and stuff. 945 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,760 It's just it's a strange game. The level design is 946 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,400 really weird, and I love that it was just a swing, 947 00:40:59,559 --> 00:41:02,440 you know, there was really the original Mario and Mario 948 00:41:02,519 --> 00:41:05,639 two is like, let's completely reinvent what this is and 949 00:41:05,679 --> 00:41:08,360 then let's like perfect it with three, which is again 950 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,039 just a whole nother switch up. But yeah, I really 951 00:41:11,079 --> 00:41:13,519 like just the strangeness of this game, So I don't 952 00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:16,320 think I've ever beat it, to be honest, but a 953 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,440 game that I loved playing quite a lot on the 954 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,719 original nes another game that I played as a kid. 955 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,480 And then I have a number eight. I have Mario Galaxy, 956 00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:26,039 which previously I put it ten, and like I said, 957 00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:27,920 it was almost a bit of a placeholder because it 958 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,039 just felt like it should be at high and I 959 00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:30,639 hadn't played a whole lot of it. But now I 960 00:41:30,639 --> 00:41:33,280 have played quite a lot of it. I've played the 961 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,360 whole thing, beat the game, and it is great. It 962 00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,280 is it worthy of all the praise that it gets. 963 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,880 Amazing three D just design, the kind of you know, 964 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,840 the whole galaxy element of it, and the gravity to it, 965 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,519 creative level design, all the weird, strange worlds. I really 966 00:41:52,599 --> 00:41:54,920 love everything about this game. And yeah, I need to 967 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,519 get into Galaxy too, because that's another good spot. But yeah, 968 00:41:58,599 --> 00:42:05,280 definitely Galaxy One. Really good game, just extremely well designed 969 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,559 and unique, and I feel like I want to see another, 970 00:42:07,599 --> 00:42:10,159 like an indie developer something tackle more of this idea. 971 00:42:10,159 --> 00:42:12,719 I'm sure some other developers have, but there's gotta be 972 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,880 something to this. It does feel like Astrobody in a way. 973 00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,159 It feels like Astrobot is, you know, the great grandson 974 00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:23,599 of Mario Galaxy something like that. Number seven on my 975 00:42:23,639 --> 00:42:26,800 list is gonna be Mario Strikers Charged. So this one, 976 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,679 I admit, has a lot of nostalgia baked into it here, 977 00:42:29,679 --> 00:42:33,199 because I do think battle League is the better game mechanically. 978 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,239 But Striker's Charges a game that I played just an 979 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,920 insane amount of as a teenage or whatever age I was. 980 00:42:39,519 --> 00:42:41,119 I got so into this game. I feel like I 981 00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:43,119 got really good at it. Wallawuigi was my guy with 982 00:42:43,199 --> 00:42:46,079 his superpower. He'd make the creepy vines behind him that 983 00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:49,239 you like camp in between. This game was a little 984 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,960 jankye just because of the motion controls or you have 985 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,440 to like block certain goals with the motion controls. But 986 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,239 I was obsessed with this game. I feel like I 987 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,679 got so good at it. I just perfected the mechanics 988 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,039 of it, and yeah, it was when I played endlessly, 989 00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:04,480 So definitely my favorite in the series for that reason, 990 00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:06,760 even if, like I said, Battle League is the maybe 991 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,039 mechanically better game in the game that I'll go back to, Like, 992 00:43:09,039 --> 00:43:11,119 I don't know if I'll really ever jump back into 993 00:43:11,119 --> 00:43:12,760 Striker's Charge. I think I'll just leave that as a 994 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:17,079 nostalgic good memory. But yeah, I do love this game 995 00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:20,960 quite a lot. Mario Kart sixty four is my number 996 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,760 six on the list, and again a game, you know, 997 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,440 my first Mario Kart game, probably a game I got 998 00:43:26,639 --> 00:43:28,159 when I got my End sixty four for the very 999 00:43:28,199 --> 00:43:31,679 first time. But yeah, I really love this game quite 1000 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:35,000 a lot. Good mechanics. Always always found it to be 1001 00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:38,559 like a tough game, like you needed like pretty good 1002 00:43:38,639 --> 00:43:41,519 mechanical skill. I feel like to go pretty like I 1003 00:43:41,519 --> 00:43:44,360 guess the casual nature of like Mario Kart's gotten easier 1004 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,679 and easier, and now there's like obviously just the mode 1005 00:43:46,679 --> 00:43:48,239 you can put on so you like don't go off 1006 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,159 the course. I was always flying off the course in 1007 00:43:50,199 --> 00:43:52,400 sixty four, but that was like part of the experience 1008 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,320 of it. But yeah, I love the courses very nostalgic 1009 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,320 for all the ones in that game, the tight but 1010 00:43:58,519 --> 00:44:01,960 really fun, impactful ross. So yeah, definitely a lot of 1011 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,679 nostalgic love for Mario Kart sixty four number five. I 1012 00:44:05,679 --> 00:44:08,360 have Mario Party two again on the N sixty four, 1013 00:44:09,199 --> 00:44:11,039 and yeah, this is a game ited play over and 1014 00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:13,519 over and over again. You know. I sometimes would play 1015 00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,239 the actual maps, the actual board games. Western World I 1016 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,599 think was my favorite, but I was mostly just in 1017 00:44:19,639 --> 00:44:21,639 there for the mini games. I would I would just 1018 00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:24,079 play those with my sister or other friends. We would 1019 00:44:24,079 --> 00:44:27,880 just play mini games for hours. And I'm very nostalgic 1020 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,480 for a lot of the mini games in there, you know, 1021 00:44:29,519 --> 00:44:33,440 the Hexagon, Heats of the World, skateboard scampers, all that 1022 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,800 good stuff. I just love a lot of what's going 1023 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,559 on with that game. So it's just always in my heart. 1024 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:43,039 Is Mario Party two number four on the list. And 1025 00:44:43,119 --> 00:44:46,199 I will say my top my top five is actually 1026 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,039 not changed at all. It's actually the stay the same 1027 00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:51,000 as it was all those years ago when I did 1028 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,599 this original ranking. Number five is or I did a 1029 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,440 number five. Number four I should say, is Mario Kart 1030 00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,800 eight Deluxe. So even though this game has got a 1031 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,000 lot more content than the last time I did this 1032 00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:05,159 episode this ranking, it still stays at number four. I 1033 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,280 don't I don't know. I don't know what it would 1034 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,559 take a lot for something to get above this game 1035 00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:12,239 and bump it down. I I mean, it's just the 1036 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,440 most definitive Mario Kart game. It's my favorite at this 1037 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,320 point just because of the sheer quantity of everything in there. 1038 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,199 You have so many courses from across the series, you 1039 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,280 have really good mechanics that plays super duper well. It's 1040 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,760 just it's the gift that kept on giving, and now 1041 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:28,440 it's given all that it will ever give, and we've 1042 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,440 moved on to World. But man, I feel like this 1043 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,840 is the one that I'm still going to come back 1044 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,880 to for decades. Like World, I don't know how many 1045 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,639 years I'll come back to World for but Mark urd 1046 00:45:37,639 --> 00:45:40,639 A Deluxe, just because it's such a de luxe package, 1047 00:45:40,679 --> 00:45:42,199 of course I'm going to come back to that for 1048 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:48,000 many many moons to come. Number three is Doctor Mario, which, 1049 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,159 even though I did have an NES as a kid, 1050 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,239 did not have this game on the NES. But man, 1051 00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:56,480 I at some point it's probably ten years ago now, 1052 00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,400 so I've been playing it for a while, but I 1053 00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:00,880 played this game and was like, what is this? Like? 1054 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,559 Tetris is probably better, but man, I got obsessed with 1055 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,519 Doctor Mario. This game is so good. I love the 1056 00:46:07,559 --> 00:46:11,599 mechanics of this. It takes practice, but at my peak, 1057 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,239 you should have seen me. I was so so good 1058 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,079 at this game. And it's it's to the point where 1059 00:46:16,079 --> 00:46:17,639 I can't play with a lot of friends now because 1060 00:46:17,679 --> 00:46:19,719 I just it's not fair. Even though I can put 1061 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,599 my like difficulty higher, I still can just like make 1062 00:46:23,639 --> 00:46:26,000 it through. But this is still a game I jump 1063 00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:27,400 I jump into.

I like these games, columns, these other ones, 1082 00:47:13,199 --> 00:47:16,280 these are all fun and all, but Doctor Mario reigns supreme. 1083 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,920 So shout outs to the doc. Number two on my 1084 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,360 list of Super Marblos three the first game I ever 1085 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,280 played in my entire life. So it's pretty hard to 1086 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,360 battle with that level of nostalgia and love that I've 1087 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,880 got for this game. You know, I played a lot 1088 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,159 with my sister, and it is, you know, for me, 1089 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:36,519 so much of my favorite games. I when I look 1090 00:47:36,519 --> 00:47:39,119 at my top ten list, my top twenty all time ranking, 1091 00:47:39,199 --> 00:47:41,960 it's like so much of it is wrapped up in like, oh, 1092 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,679 I have a such memories playing this game with this 1093 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,960 specific friend or this cousin or you know, whatever it was. 1094 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,039 And for me, Super Marblos three is like the game 1095 00:47:50,079 --> 00:47:52,039 I played with my sister and you know, growing up, 1096 00:47:52,559 --> 00:47:54,480 she played a few games with like when we were 1097 00:47:54,559 --> 00:47:56,760 quite young, and that hasn't really played games since we 1098 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:58,920 do like board games and like she'll play jack box 1099 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,280 and stuff these days. But I have so many distinct 1100 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,199 memories of playing this game with my sister for hours, 1101 00:48:03,199 --> 00:48:06,000 whether it was switching turns or we'd keep telling each 1102 00:48:06,039 --> 00:48:07,639 other we're gonna do like the pipe battle, like the 1103 00:48:07,679 --> 00:48:09,840 original Mario Bros. Battle, but then one of us would 1104 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,159 like betray the other and actually just go and do 1105 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,679 an actual level, so, you know, shout outs to my sister. 1106 00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,599 Definitely a lot of memories wrapped up playing this game 1107 00:48:17,599 --> 00:48:19,880 with her and then playing as well, Like I'd like 1108 00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:21,639 the weird, slippery controls of this I'd like some of 1109 00:48:21,679 --> 00:48:25,239 the strange worlds we go to, the little big world, 1110 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,000 the spire to go up into the sky, all these 1111 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,480 all these strange ones. The secrets, you know, like getting 1112 00:48:31,519 --> 00:48:34,760 the hammers, breaking blocks, finding hidden areas was always an 1113 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:39,119 extremely exciting thing. Just I feel like for my first 1114 00:48:39,159 --> 00:48:41,320 game to have a game that had so many secrets 1115 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,519 jammed into it, finding the whistles, things like that, I 1116 00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:46,360 feel like that's always something I look for in games now, 1117 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,199 Like I love finding hidden details, and something about Super 1118 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,519 Marlboros three hit them just the right amount that you'd 1119 00:48:51,599 --> 00:48:53,880 find things, and it just felt like there was more 1120 00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,400 beyond the surface, you know, there was things hidden behind 1121 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,639 the scenes, and like this game sets up. The instro 1122 00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,239 of this game is so weird because it's all set 1123 00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:02,280 up is like this is a play, right, There's like 1124 00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,199 the curtains kind of get pulled back and then the 1125 00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,559 game like starts from there, and it's almost just like 1126 00:49:07,559 --> 00:49:10,119 this whole thing is like this fake charade or something 1127 00:49:10,119 --> 00:49:12,199 like that. But something about the secrets and whatnot just 1128 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,760 feels like this, I don't know, it's it's somehow like 1129 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,400 a way bigger game in my head, and it actually is. 1130 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,719 And I think there's a few reasons for that that 1131 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,800 I just can't even articulate, And probably because it was 1132 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,119 the first game I've ever played. It was like a 1133 00:49:23,159 --> 00:49:25,360 new It was me experiencing a new medium for the 1134 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,639 first time, and so it just blew my mind. And 1135 00:49:27,679 --> 00:49:30,840 it still continues to even if you know, by modern standards, 1136 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,000 it's you know, nothing crazy these days. But yeah, I 1137 00:49:34,039 --> 00:49:36,639 will always have a lot of love for Super Marbros. 1138 00:49:36,639 --> 00:49:41,039 Three and that leaves us with number one, and that 1139 00:49:41,199 --> 00:49:43,920 is without a shoutout of a dope Mario super Mario 1140 00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:47,119 sixty four. So I really I think if you look 1141 00:49:47,119 --> 00:49:49,400 at it like between Mariocard sixty four, mar Part two 1142 00:49:50,199 --> 00:49:52,960 Super Mario sixty four, then hundred sixty four is definitely 1143 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,239 my Mario era, is what I'm realizing here. But yeah, 1144 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,199 this game, I mean, for me, even beyond playing the game, 1145 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,159 it's just my love for the speed running of the game, 1146 00:50:02,199 --> 00:50:04,159 and I've learned a few tricks tried to get into 1147 00:50:04,159 --> 00:50:06,599 it at some point. It's so hard though, but man, 1148 00:50:06,639 --> 00:50:10,480 I've watched so many, just countless hours of speed runs 1149 00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,360 of this game and seeing all the crazy cool tricks 1150 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,079 that you can do, and watching like video YouTube video 1151 00:50:16,199 --> 00:50:18,360 essays on like beating the game with like only one 1152 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,079 half a press and all this crazy stuff. I just 1153 00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:23,519 love how much this game still has like a huge 1154 00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:26,199 community around it. It's just such a it's crazy, one 1155 00:50:26,199 --> 00:50:28,320 of the first like three D games of its kind, 1156 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,039 and it still is one of the best all these 1157 00:50:31,079 --> 00:50:34,079 years later. The movement in this game is unbelievable, like 1158 00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:37,480 the momentum to it, the different like the long jumps, 1159 00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:40,639 the dashes, the wall jumps, wall kicks, all these things 1160 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,280 combined together, you know, the triple jump, the kind of 1161 00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,880 quick dash, turnaround jump, backwards jump, the back flip, all 1162 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,159 this stuff that it's just unbelievable how much movement you 1163 00:50:50,159 --> 00:50:52,559 have to your character compared to like any other three 1164 00:50:52,639 --> 00:50:54,639 D game, or like even three D platformers. Like I 1165 00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:56,280 feel like this game just did so much more than 1166 00:50:56,679 --> 00:50:59,519 other games that we're doing like decades later, and you 1167 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,559 Deign's great. The music is unbelievable, so so good, but 1168 00:51:03,679 --> 00:51:06,079 this game really, at the end of the day, it 1169 00:51:06,199 --> 00:51:09,239 is just extremely fun to move around in this game. 1170 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,639 Even if I'm not going for a specific star. Sometimes 1171 00:51:11,639 --> 00:51:13,800 I'll just boot of this game and screw around for 1172 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,760 twenty minutes. I just have the time of my life, 1173 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,559 just flying around, trying to get cool momentum, fly off 1174 00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:22,119 things in interesting ways, the sound effects. I'm very nostalgic 1175 00:51:22,159 --> 00:51:23,960 for a lot of nostalgia of course for this one. 1176 00:51:24,039 --> 00:51:27,920 But yeah, one of my favorite games of all time 1177 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,000 for sure. This is in my top ten all time. 1178 00:51:30,039 --> 00:51:32,960 I think looking at my list Super Mario Bros. Three, 1179 00:51:33,519 --> 00:51:35,239 I think it squeaks in my top twenty still at 1180 00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:38,400 least my top thirty. But like Sumaro, sixty four easily 1181 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,119 in the top ten. I don't know if it'll ever 1182 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,320 leave the top ten, and I don't even really play 1183 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:43,840 it much these days, but it is at this point 1184 00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,480 just mostly that just that love for the speed running 1185 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,039 of the game, and it's just kind of always there, 1186 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:49,719 you know. If I'm not playing it, I'm watching a 1187 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,159 little bit here there. So there you go. Mayo sixty 1188 00:51:52,159 --> 00:51:55,039 four at number one on my list. So there we are. 1189 00:51:55,079 --> 00:51:57,519 That is the whole list. Overall, that was a mouthful. 1190 00:51:57,599 --> 00:52:00,599 That was quite the experience, but it was fun. As 1191 00:52:00,639 --> 00:52:04,840 I said, to revisit this list updated, make some changes 1192 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,079 to it, and like I said, when the third Mario 1193 00:52:07,119 --> 00:52:09,559 movie comes out, assuming that there's enough sauce for me 1194 00:52:09,639 --> 00:52:12,000 to come back, if I've played enough new games in 1195 00:52:12,039 --> 00:52:14,960 the Mario Realm to come back and fill in some 1196 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,199 gaps here, I will definitely do that. But thank you 1197 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,480 for listening to this episode. I hope you have a 1198 00:52:19,519 --> 00:52:23,079 good time at the Mario Galaxy movie and I'll catch 1199 00:52:23,079 --> 00:52:25,000 you in the next episode of Side Quest. Have a 1200 00:52:25,039 --> 00:52:26,199 good one. Bye bye.
