I was surprised so many Mario fans gave this game such a backlash. I don't know if they were bitter that it was quite a bit more unique than Super Mario 64, didn't like the tropical setting/jetpack, or were on the Gamecube hate-train. I just know one thing: I wasn't one of those people. Super Mario Sunshine is one of my favorite games of all time.
It put Mario in a dratistically different setting, with him being sent on a vacation. Except this vacation forced him into eco-fascist slavery because he got framed by Bowser's little brat. I really liked the tropical setting, though I do admit it did get a little old after awhile.
I did like the F.L.U.D.D. or as most people knew it as the water jetpack. It had a couple of different uses, and I thought it made the platforming and combat a bit better than other Mario games.
I was glad to see Yoshi make a glorious return in Sunshine as well. I liked this version of Yoshi better than Super Mario Galaxy 2 or Super Mario 64 DS. He played like a vomiting version of himself from Super Mario World.
Even though it's an odd choice for some people, I'm not ashamed of my love for Sunshine. One of the best titles for the GameCube, and certainly one of best Mario games period. Don't hate, appreciate!

Despite being the first and least [graphically] powerful Mario platformer (I don't count Donkey Kong or Mario Bros as a Mario platformer) I absolutely adore the original NES game.
It's really amazing to go back and see how awful and simple a lot of NES games were. Yet despite the system's limitations, this game proved that simple games can have an enormousness amount of depth if you dig deep.
It's also one of the more challenging Mario games around. I think it has one of most perfect balances of gameplay as well. It's not insanely hard, but it's no cakewalk either. Very moderate middle ground, but the last world will test your skill as a gamer.
Plus it's a game you can keep going back to again and again and again. I'll be playing this one until they wheel me off to the old folks home.

Super Mario 64 was the big daddy for the Nintendo 64 especially during the early days of the system.
Some video games series had a lot of trouble transferring over to the land of 3D. However I think most of them took notes from Super Mario 64. It wasn't just the 2D games with polygons. It was the same concept plus more freedom, a lot of creativity, and a core team of designers who knew how to make a game fun.
A fun game it was too. The paintings allowed you to jump into a world that always changed. You could go from green fields, icy mountaintops, and dry deserts. There was so much variety that you could almost feel it with your own hands. Not only that but tons of a little secrets, bonus missions, and side-quests.
Despite the crappy controls, I really liked Super Mario 64 DS a lot as well. Maybe the 3DS's nub might help this baby out to be the superior version finally.

New Super Mario Bros. was pretty good on DS, however I liked the Wii version even more so.
The game is more or less the same concept though. Except they add real multiplayer co-op that was promised with the DS game but was never delivered.
I really liked the new power-ups than the multiplayer though. The controls were pretty good, except some various uses of motion control at certain parts. Think Super Mario Galaxy if you don't know what I mean.
Plus the level design was much better, and harder than it's DS counterpart. The game is completely original from the DS game, it is no remake or port. It's one of the best Wii games you can get for the system.

I really liked Super Mario Sunshine, so I couldn't wait for the next Mario console game.
Instead of a water-gun/jetpack and a tropical island, Mario was sent out to space. I really liked the little planets, and how they could diversify the game with many different kinds of areas.
I really liked the new power-ups too. Bee Mario was awesome.
The last boss fight against Bowser was pretty epic too. Along with the other bosses in the game.

I liked the Gamecube game before it became a strict fetch quest.
I'm glad they're giving the sub-series another shot on 3DS. Funny enough, the original game was one of the first games Nintendo beta tested with 3D back in their labs, so I wasn't surprised when I heard the announcement.
