I really enjoyed this video, really well paced and edited all the way through! Completely agree with Mario wonder at number 1, really feels like the culmination of the entire franchise from the creativity of the older games to the greater level of experience gained from making all of the newer ones being brought together. The bottom pick is a definite easy one too lol, I don’t know how Miyamoto can say Zelda 2 is the worst game he’s worked on when lost levels has shit like 3-2 in it. The only major difference for me was Mario land 2, which I still think is good but I would have it a few spots lower, and maybe the first new super game, although I’m potentially biased on that one because it was the first game I ever played. I replayed all these games recently too, here’s my ranking of them: Lost levels Mario 2 (USA) Mario 1 Mario land 1 Mario land 2 New super Mario bros 2 New super Mario bros Wii Mario 3 New super Mario bros U Mario World New super Mario bros DS Mario Wonder Awesome video anyway, it’s rare that a ranking video can keep me just as interested for the number one spot as the bottom one, but this video did just that
The Mario U port is one of the few Wii U ports to actually be worse than the original. The challenges dedicated to the touchscreen were removed in the switch port. They could’ve just made those only doable in handheld mode instead of removing them all together. That isn’t that big of a deal since no one really cared about those but The port has balls for calling itself deluxe when it removes content that was in the original. The port added easy mode characters into the game which is fine, but the problem is that they removed normal characters. Blue and yellow toad are no longer two characters, they are instead one character that you can swap between colors which means that if you’re playing with four people, one person is forced to be an easy mode character. It’s so stupid and separating yellow and blue toed like they did in the original would fix the entire problem. It’s even worse in Luigi U where Mario isn’t in the game so if you’re playing with four people if forces two people to be easy mode characters. Tbf in the original Luigi U if you were playing with 4 people it would force one person to be an easy mode character so it was a problem there to but the port just made it worse instead of fixing the problem. I didn’t notice this personally but I’ve heard a lot of people complain about it, but also the controls are weird in the switch version. There’s this spin you can do in mid air that can lead to a lot of deaths and for some reason instead of having an option to turn it off, you can only turn it off with a cheat code. The levels in Luigi U are really short so the time limit for each level is also really short. It’s the only time where the time limit in a Mario games has actually met anything and if you play an easy mode character in Luigi U it adds way more time to the clock, which defeats a lot of the purpose of the game. What makes it far worse is that if you’re playing in multiplayer and if somebody is an easy mode character, it’s still adds more time to the clock and remember if you’re playing with more than two people, somebody is forced to be an easy mode character. Even in the original version of the game if somebody was Nabbit it didn’t affect the timer
@@theghostwiththemost789 I honestly thought the touchscreen stuff was kinda dumb and insignificant so I don’t miss it. While I understand having to be forced to play as an easy mode character in four player, I feel like when you’re playing with friends you’re worrying less about the challenge and more about having fun with friends. And I really didn’t have any issues with the controls in Deluxe.
@@fryingpansam I do agree but even so it’s still bad design. It’s annoying because if these things were options, it wouldn’t be a problem but Nintendo hates giving players options

I've really been enjoying your videos so far. You make talking about even five samey games in a row really entertaining. I have to complain about you trying to rank these games "objectively" though. I don't think that actually means anything, so you openly putting your favorite game not at the top makes the ranking kind of meaningless. I still enjoyed the video regardless just because I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about all the games, but I'm coming out of it feeling a little cheated since now I'd have to guess to figure out which games you actually like over others.
@@KyletheReflectionist I understand what you mean, but the title reads “worst to best” not “least favorite to favorite”. When I say objective I mean analyzing stuff while trying to avoid personal bias. My favorite game does not neccessarily have to be what I see is the best game. I have more personal attachment to world from playing a lot of it as a kid, but I felt that Wonder has less issues and drawbacks, and is overall doing a lot more interesting and fun stuff. If anything, I felt like my audience would’ve felt cheated if I ranked the one I was attached to more over the one I actually thought was the best. Like the example I gave in the video, I couldn’t say Mario Kart DS is better than 8 deluxe simply because it was my childhood game. Hope this aint coming off as hostile, and I’m glad you enjoyed the vid, just hoping you understand where I was coming from.
@@fryingpansam I guess I get what you're saying, but you have to know that there's no such thing as eliminating personal bias, so trying to rank anything like this objectively isn't possible. If you're trying to go solely on objective Game Design, I personally would say Wonder is pretty objectively flawed because of how it pretty consistently deviates from the genre of game it's meant to be. But I don't think of that as an issue. I think it's one of the best 2D Marios because of how fun it is despite that. I'm just trying to say that I would find it to be a lot more interesting to hear about the video creator's personal feelings and attachments rather than ranking things in the order they think the general consensus is most likely to agree with. I once stopped watching a "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe All Tracks Ranked" video when the person put a track he didn't even really like in the Top 20 just because it was a fan-favorite. I just didn't see a need to keep watching if he was ranking things based on guesses of how other people feel. Now I'm super scared this is going to sound hostile, so I'm sorry for that. Your message was a lot more gentle in comparison, haha. I don't mean to criticize when I enjoyed what I watched as much as I did. I just felt I should express that everything felt a little bit off once you tipped your hand and showed you weren't ranking based on your own preference, is all. However you do it, if you keep making stuff this fun, keep at it!
The mario bros Wii one hurt a bit since I'm nostalgia biased towards that one, but I understand your reasons. And let me just say, I'm so happy you put Mario Bros U at the top. I've been saying it's the best of the four for years. Like genuinely it has some of the best background and art direction out of any of those games, and I'm so happy they took that art directions and excelled it even further with Mario Wonder. But yeah I'll have to disagree new super Mario Bros 2 is the worst of the 4 theirs no competition lol.
I didn't expect NSMBW to be this low, but it makes sense when I think about it. It's basically the only New Super Mario Bros. game without a gimmick to call its own, and it is basically outdone in every aspect by another game. I love it, but playing it alone is not that great of a time unless you're going for 100%.
New Super Luigi U is my favorite 2D Mario. It finally provides a good challenge and the level design is fun. Yeah, some of the Star Coins are trash but that's not that bad as they're not recquired and you can choose whether you want to actually get them or not. World 9 is also really well done. Normally, soundtracks play a huge role in me ranking games, but surprisingly, I don't mind the absence of original songs in NSLU. I gotta say though, and this also goes for NSMBU: the Frosted Glacier theme is peak. So yeah, NSLU is my favorite 2D Mario game.
Only thing bringing Mario and Luigi U down is the comparison to the other games. The bundle is the definitive version of NSMB apart from some minor nitpick imo.
New Super Luigi U is my favorite 2D Mario game and my second favorite 2D platformer behind Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Its levels are challenging, creative, and short and sweet without feeling too short like SMB3’s levels. Plus, jumping around with Luigi’s physics feels fun and satisfying. Here’s what my top 5 2D Mario games are: 1. New Super Luigi U 2. New Super Mario Bros. U 3. Super Mario Bros. Wonder 4. Super Mario Bros. 3 5. Super Mario World
I would still say I like world better than wonder, wonder relies on level gimmicks a bit to much and while fun on first playthrough they tend to get boring on repeat ones. The levels are also super empty when avoiding the wonder flowers. Wonder is also just a bit too easy and while being easy isn’t necessarily bad, it does make the game pretty boring especially on repeat playthroughs as the game is asking for very little out of the player. World is a much more focused experience whilst providing a much higher and more rewarding challenge.
I personally prefer NSMBU to wonder bc the multiplayer aspect in wonder is so bad. The crown system is so flawed. All the new super games pan out the camera when ur friends run farther away. Why couldn't wonder do that? Plus wonder is too short and easy. The new super games have a good balance of easy and challenging. I do prefer the aesthetics and art style in wonder, also the no timer is a positive. I hope whatever the new 2d mario game is ditches the crown system and goes back to panning out the camera.
Actually suprised Mario land is second worst cause while charming it’s jankey and gameplay wise I think worse then Mario 1 Mario 2 USA and definitely Wii
@@Eclipsion12Miyamoto worked on Mario 2 USA much more than Mario 2 JPN, there’s power-ups and items from Mario games in it, and Miyamoto suggested that the game designers make the game like a Mario game before it became a Mario game. It’s definitely qualified to be considered a Mario game.
