Key Rankings and Highlights
Lowest Ranked
-
Super Mario 35 A Mario Battle Royale game only playable for a limited time. Despite its cool concept, it’s unplayable now and thus placed last.
-
Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics Lacks originality and novelty compared to earlier entries. Feels like a boring mini-game collection with some 2D pixel events. Not recommended.
-
Mario Strikers: Battle League Fun series but this entry is disappointing due to lack of modes and poor online activity. Mainly just a competitive mode with no campaigns or side content.
-
Super Mario Party (2018) Considered one of the worst Mario Party games due to limited boards, poor economy, and unbalanced gameplay. Some mini-games and modes have potential but poor execution. Overshadowed by later Mario Party titles.
-
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Innovative idea mixing physical and digital play but impractical for many players. Requires cleared physical space and has limited creative options.
-
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle & Sparks of Hope Tactical turn-based gameplay inspired by XCOM, surprisingly well-made but repetitive and uninspired combat. Overworld exploration lacks depth.
Mid-Tier Games
-
Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Switch Remake) Puzzle-focused with 130+ levels and added casual mode. Good for puzzle fans, priced at $50.
-
Mario Golf: Super Rush & Mario Tennis Aces Golf offers speed golf and RPG campaign but lacks depth. Tennis has deep mechanics but limited modes.
-
Paper Mario: The Origami King Visually charming and witty but battle system is frustrating and repetitive.
-
Super Mario RPG (Switch Remake) Classic RPG with creative gameplay and charming characters. Battle system remains solid.
-
Mario Party Superstars Acknowledges the failure of Super Mario Party with a better but smaller package. Fewer boards and mini-games than later entries.
-
Mario and Luigi: Brothership Good game with some flaws like slow introduction and load times. Positioned in the top half of Mario games but not top tier.
-
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe A solid 2D Mario platformer with chaotic multiplayer and challenge modes. Recommended for fans of classic Mario platforming.
Top-Tier Games
-
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Remake) Highest-ranked Mario RPG on the list. Great visuals, well-written dialogue, some pacing issues. Clever tweaks and improved backtracking.
-
Super Mario 3D All-Stars Collection of 3 classic 3D Mario games (64, Sunshine, Galaxy). Games are somewhat aged but still great; some technical issues and limited availability lower its rank.
-
Super Mario Maker 2 Excellent sequel with vast creative tools and community content. Ability to link levels into campaigns is a major plus.
-
Super Mario Party Jamere (2024) Considered the best Mario Party game on Switch. Great board design, interactive camera work, large roster, and fun mini-games. Ally mechanic and side modes improved over past entries.
-
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Reinvents 2D Mario with a fresh art style and new mechanics like walking on walls and Wonder Flowers. Combines elements from Mario Odyssey and Fury Bowser for innovative gameplay.
-
Super Mario Odyssey One of the greatest Mario games ever made. Vast kingdoms to explore, flawless music and presentation, highly replayable. Compared favorably to Banjo Kazooie for its structure.
-
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury (Ranked #2) Adds Odyssey-inspired moves and faster gameplay to 3D World. Local multiplayer is addictive and fun. Bowser’s Fury is a tight, innovative campaign experimenting with open-world design.
-
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Ranked #1) Best Mario Kart game and arguably best Mario game on Switch. Stunning graphics, excellent music, huge track list, and fun multiplayer. Most played Mario game on the platform.
