    I think I'm one of the few people who keep Super Mario 2 (aka Super Mario USA) in a special place in my heart. I love the game. I've always wanted to see a direct sequel to the game. #kotakutalktadio

    @Archaotic: Yoshi's Island does a wonderful job of feeling totally different from any other Mario game, and yet still feeling like a Mario game. And that's something in a series with as much gameplay variety as this one.

    I can't pick it as my favorite, though, as it's a bit too short and linear. That honor goes to Super Mario World, with Galaxy very slightly behind. #kotakutalktadio

    @billysan: I tend to extract quite a bit of enjoyment at riling up a friend of mine who insists that SMW is better than Yoshi's Island. :)

    Sidenote: What about Yoshi's Island DS? While I have not played much of it, many of the late-game stages are fiendishly difficult -- and not necessarily in a good way.

    Oh, and the music is terrrrrrible

    @jaronimo: A shame that Nintendo farmed out one of their best properties to such a mediocre developer (Artoon).

    A similar thing happened to the Good Feel-developed Wario Land: Shake It, though I liked that game moreso than YI DS.

    It had manageable difficulty and an interesting replay mechanic for a Wii game -- achievements. And while the platforming was decent and inspired at times, the levels are nowhere near as interestingly designed as past Wario Land titles.

    I sure hope Nintendo starts developing these types of games in-house once more.

    @GohanGVO: I know what you mean. These two games have been kind of a lackluster experience. Especially YI DS was a huge disappointment since the original is my favorite Mario platformer. Let's hope NSMB.Wii will bring back that heart warming old school feeling ;)

    I may purchase a Wii in the next week for the "New Super Mario Bros. Wii" and "Super Mario Galaxy 2".

    So far, I still haven't played a better Mario game in recent years than Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.

    [EDIT: I thought Mario 64 great but it was lacking many cool things like multiple suits and vast level designs]

    Title reminds me of something.
    One of my housemates is part of the karate society at university. He told me about this short-ish Italian guy with dark hair, not of the greatest build, who is ridiculously good at fighting.
    I asked, my housemate jokingly, when he told me this, if the guy's name was Mario [surely no chance?].

    ...Turns out it's Marias. XD
