I'll tier all of the main series ones, apart from 3D Land, which I've never played.

God Tier

64

Excellent Tier

Sunshine
Galaxy 1
Oddysey

Great Tier

3D World
Galaxy 2

For me, 3D World and Galaxy 2 were the weak ones. Much too-linear, and 3D World expecting you to do each level 5 times to 100% the game was ridiculous. 64 still stands out as the very best, due to excellent level design, the non-linearity, the variety in the graphics, and the extremely well-pitched difficulty level. They're all really fun games, though.

Why? They're too linear, AND Galaxy 1 is too easy. They were a bit too short as well. Still excellent games, though.

They're 3D, aren't they? But I agree they're very linear, and have elements from the 2D games.

Exactly. Nintendo when they announced Odyssey they even said it'd be more like sunshine and 64 and less like the galaxies/3Ds

3d plays like a 2d mario.... in 3d. It's too different >_>

Galaxy lets you choose your own levels, the object is to solve puzzles to get to the star, no time limits, a health bar, no permanent powerups. It's just like the other 3d marios before it

It's a shame that Oddysey goes on so long. Some of the other games had basically the right length to 100% them, but this feels MUCH too long, and finding the Moons is often too hard. You know, after the amount of time it took me to get the 120 "main" Stars in Galaxy 2, I'd gone maybe a quarter of Oddysey. I don't know why Nintendo thought this would be a good idea.

I must admit, Galaxy 1 had some brilliant level design. Nice mix of exploring, platforming, and going things quickly. Freezeflame Galaxy, Sea Slide Galaxy, Dusty Dune Galaxy, Toytime Galaxy. They were basically as good as top-tier 64 worlds, and that's saying something.

By difficulty...

Sunshine
3D World
Oddysey
Galaxy 2
64
Galaxy 1

I liked the difficult of all of them, apart from maybe Galaxy 1, which was too easy. I did break a sweat past about the 90th star, though, some of the last stuff I did was pretty hard (like some purple coin challenges).

Easiest? How can it be the easiest? There was quite a lot of exploration that was extremely hard, and there was *some* playforming that was extremely hard. Plus, there was a lot to do, and not everybody will have the stamina to do it.

Why do people say that FLUDD made it easy? Yeah, being able to hover and do other special stuff helped, but the game was sorta designed around that, plus it's not like 64 didn't have very helpful power ups...like the ability to fly.

Sunshine was probably the hardest.

Exactly, the game wouldn't be completeable without FLUDD. Plus those stages where you couldn't use FLUDD were mother bitches

Still a fantastic game though

I never really understood the Sunshine difficulty thing. 3D World and both Galaxy games have parts that are more difficult than most things in Sunshine. The worst part of Sunshine is the pachinko game, and that's straight up bullshit.

Super Mario 64 is awesome.

I can't imagine what it must have felt like as a teenage/adult gamer and seeing Mario jump out of that pipe in all his 3D glory for the first time.

I haven't played them all I'll post my own ranking. Before everyone feeaks out, this is mostly just because in Galaxy I kept falling into holes because no depth perception on a flat screen.

3D Land > World > Bros 3 > Bros 2 (US) > NSMB > NSMB Wii > Bros 1 > NSMB2 > Galaxy

Whatever you classify it as, 3D World is a great game. Though yes, it does start off as ridiculously easy and you just have to ignore the invincible Tanooki suit that appears after multiple deaths if youre serious
