NES Your favorite 8-bit Mario game?

The GameBoy has an 8 bit CPU, so it counts. I just want to see what people think is their favorite.

For me, it’s between Super Mario Bros. 1 and Super Mario Land 2. But, being honest with myself, I never pass up an opportunity to play Mario 1, so it gets my vote, but it’s very close.

The secrets in Mario 3 were a lot of fun to find. I have fond memories of making the coin ships appear, and eventually learning how to do it on purpose.

SMB3 was an absolute game changing leap forward.

I absolutely LOVE Super Mario Land 2, fantastic level design, very unique locations and levels, the graphics and art direction are wonderful, and it also introduces the character Wario, who became a fan favorite among fans.

It significantly improves upon its predecessor, offering a richer, more diverse and immersive experience.

You too?! Yeah, I kept making those coin ships appear on accident as a kid, but I can never seem to do it now as an adult lol

Super Mario Land 2 was something else, but in a positive way

When i was a kid, i only had Super Mario Bros 1 and 2 (nes), and didn't have 3 or others.
I love both of them, but i guess i love 2 a bit more.

Later, i played 3 too, but at that time, i was almost grown up, so it didn't have much effect on me... but i can imagine i would love it as a kid.

Note:
By "2" i mean "Super Mario Bros. USA/2 (1988)"

Well... I'm somewhere between orginal Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Land 2

 

[MasterEn]

super mario land is the best one.
why? because that's the one that introduced the best mario character, Princess Daisy.

Super Mario 3 is the GOAT for me when it comes to 8bit era of games.

SMB1 is my goat, but I have a lot of respect for SMB3.

Some of you haven't played "Baby Mario" back in the day, and it shows.

Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa was put on a bootleg cart and it was a sleeper hit in the rental market.
