Game Opinions

While I have played more games than this, I'm only ranking the ones I've sat down with and actually gave a serious chance. Expect more games to be added soon.

NES

Game	Notes	Rating
Donkey Kong	The game is enjoyable to play in short bursts. There's not much else to say about it.	Good
File:Donkey Kong Jr. NES Cover.png Donkey Kong Jr.	While I do enjoy this game, it's a lot more difficult than its predecessor. I don't like it as much, but it's still fun.	Good
File:Mario Bros. NES Cover.png Mario Bros.	This game is fine. It's really hard, though.	Decent
Donkey Kong Jr. Math	Have you ever wanted to play a video game solely about doing math? Neither have I, but clearly Nintendo thought somebody did. When I play Donkey Kong Jr., I want to be pushing keys and knocking down fruit, not doing math. Still, this game isn't that bad. It's good for a quick laugh.	Decent
File:SMB Boxart.png Super Mario Bros.	When you put it into perspective, it's a good game for its time, but now its just decent. Not bad at all, but just kind of underwhelming.	Decent
Super Mario Bros. 2	Maybe it's just me, but I consider this to be the best of the original NES trilogy. It's just so unique and it's a lot of fun to play.	Good
Super Mario Bros. 3	I do not like this game. The level design is horrid and unfair. It makes me feel like I'm playing the Super Expert 100 Mario Challenge! There is no way to save, go back to previous worlds, or replay levels. However, I can give this game credit for introducing some fan-favorite characters, like Dry Bones, Thwomps, Boos, Chain Chomps, and the Koopalings.	Bad
Yoshi	I don't really get this game. What am I supposed to be doing?	Bad
Yoshi's Cookie	This game is just kind of mediocre. It's a little boring.	Decent

SNES

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Mario World	No, not the cartoon series. The SNES game. I really like this game. It improved on SMB3 in such a big way with the Cape Feather, Yoshi, hidden exits, an easy-to-traverse overworld, and challenging bonus levels.	Great
Mario Paint	At first, I thought "This game looks so stupid! Why would you ever want to play a MS Paint clone with Mario?" Then I decided to play it, expecting to quit after a few minutes. What really surprised me was this: the game is actually good. It's relaxing to go make some funny scribbles while you listen to Creative Exercise. Sometimes I randomly load it up and make scenes with the stamps and gradients.	Good
Donkey Kong Country	This game is okay. There are some good parts and some bad parts. I prefer its sequel.	Decent
Undake30 Same Game	This game is weird. It doesn't seem to have much value to it. There's just one singular puzzle mode, which is rather lackluster. I don't entirely hate it, though. It just kind of confuses me that it exists.	Decent
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island	I don't play this game a lot, but I end up having fun when I do. I'd recommend it.	Good
Donkey Kong Country 2	I like this game a lot. Diddy and Dixie are really fun characters to play as. The game never gets boring, and it stays very fun and fast-paced throughout. My favorite part has got to be the music.	Great

Game Boy

Game	Notes	Rating
Mario's Picross	I didn't even know what Picross was until I played Mario's Picross. I got it so I could get a picture of the game over screen for the gallery of the Game Over page, but then I played more of it. And you know what? It's actually fun.	Good
Donkey Kong Land 2	Compared to the original, this one is kind of "eh." The music is worse, the graphics are worse, it's pretty much a downgrade. Why would you ever buy this if you have a SNES?	Decent

DOS

Game	Notes	Rating
Mario's Game Gallery	Like Mario Paint, I thought this game would be stupid at first, but I actually ended up enjoying it.	Good

Nintendo 64

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Mario 64	A genuinely great game. Lots of fun to be had here.	Great
File:Papermario.PNG Paper Mario	I prefer PM64 over TTYD. 64 has memorable locations, lots of partners, great bosses, an outstanding soundtrack, and is just an overall great game. I wasn't sure if I would like it at first, but I did.	Great

Game Boy Color

Game	Notes	Rating
Wario Land II	While I haven't played this game recently, I do remember liking it. All the different paths were an appealing idea, and the transformations were fun to use.	Good
Wario Land 3	Honestly, I can't tell which Wario Land game is the best. I haven't completed this one yet.	Good

Game Boy Advance

Game	Notes	Rating
Wario Land 4	Eh, I don't think I like this one as much as II and 3. Still not a bad game, though.	Decent
Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3	I only got this game because the Wii U eShop didn't have the original SNES version. And boy, did I not like this. I never completed the first world. Everything in this game is just worse; like DKL2, why would you even buy this if you have a SNES?	Bad
WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!	It's the first WarioWare game, but it's one of the weaker ones. It suffers from quite a bit of trial-and-error gameplay; sometimes, like in Mix & Match and Slick Wheelie, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do the first time I play it. However, there are only a few bad microgames in the over 200. The bonuses are pretty fun. Orbulon's stage is probably my favorite in this game.	Good
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga	I really like this game. It's a great start to the Mario & Luigi series. It's the most creative, there are lots of unique enemies, the bosses are fantastic, and the entire game is really fun. There are some flaws, like a few annoying characters (I'm looking at you, Starshade Bros.), annoying tutorials, and the entire Oho Ocean Seabed segment, but it's still a great game. If you want to play a Mario & Luigi game, you can't go wrong with this one.	Great
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!	This game is pretty great. I like Kiddy Kong and don't find him annoying, the animals are fun to play as, there are lots of secrets, and the new overworld map is fun to explore. I think I like this one more than 1 and 2. Keep in mind that I've only played the GBA version, and not the SNES one.	Great
DK: King of Swing	What even is this game? The wonky controls were kind of fun at first, but then I realized, "Wait, I have to play the entire game like this!" I quit after the first world, and I don't plan to come back to it anytime soon. On the plus side, I do like the sprites and art style.	Decent

GameCube

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Smash Bros. Melee	The genuine best Smash game. I started with Brawl and find it hard to return. I play without items, and I only do tournament-legal maps. It is now very hard for me to play any Smash game except Melee.	Great
File:Box NA - Super Mario Sunshine.png Super Mario Sunshine	Something about this game is just... bleh. I know it's divisive, and I'm leaning towards the "bad game" side. I don't find it very fun, the controls are weird, and Mario's moveset is too small. I haven't bothered to play much of this.	Bad
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door	I'm not a big fan of this game, honestly. The character designs are the ugliest out of all Paper Mario games, the amount of RNG in battles gets frustrating, and over half of the chapters are painful slogs. (I only liked Chapter 3, honestly. But even that was interrupted by stupid, out-of-nowhere puzzles when all I wanted to do was battle!)	Decent

Nintendo DS

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Mario 64 DS	Not a big fan of this one. Obviously, there's the bad controls, but the constant character-switching didn't do much for me.	Decent
WarioWare: Touched!	This game is good. Not my favorite WarioWare, but it's still good.	Good
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time	The best Mario & Luigi game on the DS. Still not the best of the entire series, however. I'd rank it second-worst. Although, it's not exactly a bad game.	Good
New Super Mario Bros.	This game is pretty mediocre. I played it once, got all the Star Coins, and can't really remember anything else about it.	Decent
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story	Oh, no. Not this game. This game is terrible. It is not fun in the slightest. The entire game is gross, tedious, easy, and just plain stupid. You know how I said Partners in Time was the second-worst? This is the worst.	Bad
WarioWare: D.I.Y.	The game-making section of this game doesn't feel very developed. It's overly complicated and not much fun to use. I don't really care for the records or comics, either. The microgames are incredibly basic, even by WarioWare standards. Still, it's a good game. I like the Job Center missions, the actually entertaining tutorials, and Body Rock.	Good

Wii

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Paper Mario	This is my absolute favorite Paper Mario game. The gameplay is incredibly fun, there are lots of hidden secrets, there's a post-game, the bosses are great, and I love the soundtrack. I know this is a controversial opinion, but I find it very nice to stomp an enemy and not enter a long battle.	Great
File:SmG.jpg Super Mario Galaxy	I despise this game. It makes me feel really stupid merely by playing it. I get no enjoyment out of this game at all. It's super boring. Heck, even the soundtrack puts me to sleep! This is one of the only Mario games I haven't bothered to 100% complete. You know what? I'm going to dedicate an entirely new rating just for this game. It's that bad.	Terrible
Super Smash Bros. Brawl	I used to like this game before I realized how much better Melee was. This game is too slow-paced and floaty for my tastes. Even when I was a super big fan of Brawl, I still despised the Subspace Emissary. I found it incredibly boring and not fun at all.	Bad
File:Mariobox-noscale.jpg New Super Mario Bros. Wii	This was the first Wii game — and also the first Mario game — I've ever played. Did I have fun with it? Yeah, I guess. I haven't played this game in years, but I do want to play it again. I remember it being a good game, though.	Good
WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase	Technically, this is WiiWare, but I think it's close enough to fit in my Wii section. So how is this successor to D.I.Y.? Well, for one, it removes the main thing about D.I.Y.; the actual D.I.Y. portion. But the word "showcase" in the title already implies that. This game is made up of two good stages and two mediocre stages. I personally think the pre-made comics in this one are better than the ones in D.I.Y., too. Eh, the game is fine enough, but if you want to try WarioWare, don't start with this game.	Decent
Super Mario Galaxy 2	I don't dislike this game as much as Galaxy 1. Don't get me wrong, it's still a bad game, but at least there are brief bits of enjoyment in it. Let me count: the Mario Squared Galaxy was creative, and I liked the Sea Slide Galaxy, and... yeah, that's really it. The bad galaxies greatly outnumber the good ones.	Bad
Mario Party 9	This was the first Mario Party game I've ever played. I just assumed that every game took place in a singular vehicle. But you know what? I actually like it. I'm actually compelled to care about other players' turns to think about how it will impact me later. It feels like everybody's working together as a team, but they're also trying to sabotage each other at the same time, which makes for some interesting gameplay.	Good

Nintendo 3DS

Game	Notes	Rating
Super Mario 3D Land	A little bland, but still good. Is this better than 3D World? I'm not entirely sure. If you want Mario on the 3DS, this game isn't a bad choice.	Good
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team	I don't get the hate for this game. People always say, "oh, the tutorials stink!" Bowser's Inside Story had way more tutorials than this one. The dream world is a much more interesting and actually fun version of Bowser's body. Overall, this game is pretty great.	Great
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam	I don't get the hate for this game, either. The lack of original characters didn't bother me very much, and all the paper additions were fun. The Papercraft Battles were about as much fun as eating a cactus, but at least they're over fast. I consider this weaker than Dream Team, but I still really like it.	Great
WarioWare Gold	A definite contender for my top 10 games of all time. The voice acting is a lot of fun to listen to, the minigames and records were great rewards, the microgames are still awesome, the challenge modes are creative, and it's overall an incredibly fun experience. It's so easy to pick up and play for a little bit. All the controls, even the microphone and the gyroscope, work perfectly and never feel unresponsive. If you want to play WarioWare, please try out this one.	Great

Wii U

Game	Notes	Rating
Nintendo Land	Uh, it's fine, I guess. It's a mix of good and bad minigames. The good outweighs the bad, but it's still not something you should spend 60 dollars on.	Decent
Super Mario 3D World	This game is good until World Mushroom. It kind of feels like they ran out of ideas at that point. None of the rehashed "remixed" levels, besides Piranha Creeper Creek After Dark, provide much of a challenge. And the fake replayability? I only got three out of five runs done before I got so burned out by the game that I stopped playing it for years! At least I had fun with the game my first time through.	Good
NES Remix Pack	No real opinion on this game. At first, I thought it was actual NES games and levels, but turns out it's just tiny segments. I was disappointed at first, but then I learned to appreciate it for what it was.	Decent
Super Mario Maker	Lunar Magic is better.	Good

Trivia and Other Opinions

• Enguarde is my favorite Animal Friend. Squawks is my least favorite.
• I think Fawful was much better as a supporting character, like in Superstar Saga and Partners in Time, than as a full-fledged villain.
• Fuzzies are my least favorite recurring enemy. My favorite is a tie between Thwomps and Chain Chomps.
• I am not a fan of Nintendo's mindset of "no checkpoints + recycled challenge = hard level." This is the reason why I find The Perfect Run to be incredibly stupid. I have already went through this exact same level layout once, and forcing me to do it perfectly isn't fun. It's just annoying because I've already done this before and they're desperate to pad out the game with filler challenges.
• Ashley's Theme is the worst WarioWare song with lyrics. Four Seasons is a runner-up.
• I reached the maximum possible score on the Cannonball Chuck Attackathon mode.
• While I have never played Sticker Star or Color Splash, I think they look fun. I plan on playing them someday.
