10. Bowser’s Fury (Switch)
Some might argue that Bowser’s Fury, which came packaged with the Switch re-release of Super Mario 3D World, isn’t even a Super Mario Bros. game. It’s more like an expansion, they might say, just an experiment in modernizing Mario gameplay using a Wii U game as a base. But whatever, it rules, so it’s on the list!
Throwing a lot of traditional Mario ideas out the window, Bowser’s Fury is an open-world game in which you spend most of your time doing standard platforming stuff but every so often the sky goes dark and you get to fight (or run/hide from) a Godzilla-sized incarnation of Mario’s arch-foe. It is a sight to behold, one of the coolest individual moments in series history, and while there’s not much variety or scope to Bowser’s Fury—the whole game is over in just a few hours—for as long as it lasts this is almost as good as Super Mario gets. — Luke Plunkett
