Cover, original release, and system	Synopsis
Super Mario 64
June 23, 1996 Nintendo 64	Super Mario 64 was released simultaneously with its system, the Nintendo 64. The game was a great success. It was the first fully three-dimensional Super Mario game to ever be made, thus revolutionizing the appearance of Super Mario games to date. The game sold over eleven million copies by 2007. This was also the second game to call Princess Peach by her current name (with Yoshi's Safari being the first). In the game, Mario is invited to the Mushroom Castle to eat a cake she has baked. However, when Mario arrives at her castle, he discovers that Bowser has taken it over and has stolen almost all of the castle's Power Stars—there are some that he did not know existed. As Mario traverses through fifteen different painting worlds, he eventually recovers enough Power Stars to battle Bowser and take back the castle, freeing Peach from her stained-glass prison.
Super Mario Sunshine
July 19, 2002 GameCube	In 2002, Mario was back in action in Super Mario Sunshine, another three-dimensional platformer. While he is on his way to a vacation with Princess Peach and her loyal steward, Toadsworth, they discover a large glob of graffiti in the shape of Mario's head at the Delfino Airstrip. Mario then finds a machine, called FLUDD, that helps him rid the island of goop. After he collects a total of ten Shine Sprites, an impostor bearing a striking resemblance to Mario kidnaps Peach. Mario then must redeem his identity (because of Shadow Mario) by ridding the entire island of goop, all the while having to rescue Peach. Towards the end of his adventure, he discovers that Shadow Mario is actually Bowser Jr. in disguise. After fighting Bowser and Bowser Jr., Mario rescues Peach, finally allowing them to start their vacation.
Super Mario Galaxy
November 1, 2007 Wii	Super Mario Galaxy is the eleventh installment in the Super Mario series and the third 3D game in the series. However, unlike the previous two 3D installments for the Super Mario series, this game takes place in deep space. Mario attends the Star Festival at the request of Princess Peach, when the town comes under attack by Bowser's air forces. He abducts Peach's entire castle and warps it to the center of the universe, prompting Mario to save her. Most of the game's levels consist of many small planets and planetoids, while others have bigger planets. A new popular species and character appear, Luma and Rosalina. The game was released in 2007 for the Wii. This game spiraled a direct sequel, simply called Super Mario Galaxy 2. It is currently the only 3D game that has done so.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
May 23, 2010 Wii	Super Mario Galaxy 2 is the thirteenth installment in the Super Mario series. It is also the fourth 3D game in the series and a direct sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. The title contains many elements from its predecessor, such as the story, the adventure being in outer space, recurring objects such as Launch Stars, recurring items including the Bee Mushroom, and the elements of gravity. However, the game introduces new elements such as the utilization of Yoshi and new power-ups such as the Cloud Flower. Rosalina reappears, and new characters of the Luma species appear, including Lubba. This is the third installment for the Wii in the Super Mario series.
Super Mario 3D Land
November 3, 2011 Nintendo 3DS	Super Mario 3D Land is the fifth 3D game in the series and the fourteenth game overall. Super Mario 3D Land is a hybrid game described as a "3D game that plays like a 2D game," and therefore its levels are much more linear and compact than in the other 3D titles, more along the lines of the side-scrolling games. Many retro power-ups and characters return, such as the Super Leaf and Boom Boom. New power-ups are also introduced, such as Boomerang Mario and White Tanooki Mario. The game also introduces new enemies and a female partner of Boom Boom named Pom Pom.
Super Mario 3D World
November 21, 2013 Wii U	Super Mario 3D World is the home console follow-up to Super Mario 3D Land. The game's main feature is the new Cat form, caused by picking up a Super Bell, alongside four-player simultaneous multiplayer. It features the entire playable cast of Super Mario Bros. 2 as playable characters, featuring the same abilities they have in said game, as well as Rosalina as an unlockable playable character. The story follows Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad as they attempt to rescue the Sprixie Princesses that Bowser has captured and free the Sprixie Kingdom. Other new power-ups include the Double Cherry and the Lucky Bell.
Super Mario Odyssey
October 27, 2017 Nintendo Switch	Super Mario Odyssey released for the Nintendo Switch in late 2017. As a new entry in the 3D games and a new sandbox-style 3D Super Mario game after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, it focuses on Mario and a new character named Cappy (who takes the form of the Mario Cap) visiting kingdoms far from the Mushroom Kingdom and collecting Power Moons, ultimately in an attempt to prevent Bowser force-marrying Princess Peach and to rescue Cappy's sister Tiara. Cappy has multiple uses, such as being thrown like a boomerang (which can be used to control life forms and inanimate objects) and jumping off him in midair like a platform. In addition, this is the first main Super Mario game to be compatible with amiibo, and it was launched alongside a trio of amiibo based on the game.

Super Mario 64 DS
November 21, 2004 Nintendo DS	Super Mario 64 DS is a remake of Super Mario 64. It was released in 2004 for the Nintendo DS. It is also the first Mario game released for the Nintendo DS. Though it is a remake, there are many differences between it and the original (four playable characters and 30 new Power Stars are two examples of this). The game begins the same as the old one; Peach invites Mario to the castle for cake. However, instead of just Mario, Wario and Luigi come for cake, while Yoshi sleeps on the roof of the castle. Bowser then takes over the castle, captures Peach, and locks Mario, Luigi, and Wario inside three rooms. Lakitu then wakes Yoshi up, and now he has to save Mario and the others in order to save the princess once again, this time through teamwork.
