The format of these posts is simple: let's discuss a specific game or series!
I'm going on a trip to Italy, so no better time to discuss my favorite fictional Italian plumber: Mario!
Let's discuss the Super Mario series. What is your favorite game in the series? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn't work for you? Are there other games that gave you similar feelings? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let's get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).

I'm a 2D Mario guy. Everything 8 and 16 bit is awesome, except the crying baby island simulator one.
64 was of course amazing. Sunshine I like only because they tried something different. I never finished it though.
Imma get some hate for this: Galaxy and Odyssey aren't that good. I did like Galaxy 2 a little though. I did finish Odyssey but man it has to be one of the most gimmick driven games in the series. Crap ton of one use only power ups.
New Super on Wii, and especially newER on Wii are a lot of fun (which is cheating but whatever lol). The WiiU game though? Oof huge fail.
The catsuite 3D land game is interesting to me. It has a ton of really great ideas, and lots of fun sections. But it falls flat overall somehow. I can't put my finger on it. Good memories with it though.
Honorable mention: Yoshi Story on the 64. That game was great.
Edit. Wonder has been out for awhile. Still haven't played it. I actually completely forgot about it.
I understand the hate but that game was so damn good, if you could ignore the baby cries.
