22. New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS)
The New sub-series of Super Mario Bros. games had a penchant for over-promising and under-delivering. 2012’s New Super Mario Bros. 2 was the worst offender in this regard. It’s comforting, but short, breezy, and at times insultingly easy and simplistic. The soundtrack is largely one song on repeat that will make you want to mute your 3DS sooner than later. The game is a coin collectathon above all else, and while the moment-to-moment gameplay can still be fun, there’s nothing really memorable, let alone new, about the third entry in the New Super Mario Bros. series. — Ethan Gach
