So you credit Mario with doing exactly what it's supposed to do when you tell it to? I don't know about Daxter,  but aside from some irritating games, I felt that way with pretty much every PS2 title. Times have changed, Mario doesn't and has no reason to stand out anymore, it's just a game among many with a huge brand name.

well said. mario simply delivers the first and best platformer on any nintendo console. it sets the bar so high, and with every iteration adds new things to make it seem like a brand new game or even genre.

What? You could let someone play the first Mario, and then he'd be comfortable in playing the newest one. How can you say each Mario is a new genre? 

My Argument? :?

This is Mario Games we are talking about..go read any of the Super Mario reviews if you wanna know what makes 'em so great.

Yeah, every line we write in here is an argument.

As reviews and everything else suggest, it's the accessibility. There's only so much fun you can have by replaying the same game with rennovated graphics and a couple of new features. Thing is, even hardcore gamers play Mario.

kids, thats because Mario single-handedly saved the gaming industry, period.

You can only go so far with degrading a person's message because he's not your age. Since this isn't about the NES/SNES, your comment is null.

[QUOTE="Nex_Ownage"]Mario games created the genre on the nes, perfected it on the snes and revolutionaized it on the 64. WTF did the ratchet or sonic games do ? :|Nex_Ownage

Added a nice lombax to gaming? How is originality > quality?

You're saying Mario games don't have quality? :roll:

Come back when a Ratchet game gets a 8.3 21 years after it's release date.

No, I'm saying your arguments suggest originality, not quality. NES, SNES, 64.

Same thing goes for your second line, I don't need to come back in 21 years if I'm asking what makes Mario games so great today.

[QUOTE="zh666"]have you played Mario Sunshine because I felt that game had a pretty high difficultly level...Shazenab

Mario Sunshine isn't exactly how people argue for Mario when they say it's so good.

Because a at italian plumber can only be played in video games as a hero. If i wanted a hero animal like R&C, banjo I could also point out plenty on films.Shazenab

Are you serious? Regardless, I'm sure there are more Italian heroes in movies than animal heroes in movies.

Name them of the top of your head.

I don't need to, check the list of 10 latest Italian movies?

The great Mario, one of the older platformers that lasted if not the oldest, and the most sold game ever.

What's so good about it? Why is it better than Ratchet? Heck, why is it better than Sonic?

Sure, it's accessible to everyone since the gameplay is extremely simple, and it doesn't have much in the way of violence, but does accessibility make a great game?

In all honesty, all I see in a Mario game is a jumping-on-mushroom parade with the compliment of a nice upgrade now and then to change size and shoot fire. That, and a hunt for shortcuts that will help you complete the game in a couple of hours.

So how, aside from its brand name and accessibility, is Mario better than -any- platformer?

ENTER! Flames. :D

Eponique

Because he's not the only fun dude, he has a lots of other friends that make him fun (Yoshi, Toad, Peach, Bowser etc.)

Are you talking about main Mario games or spin-offs? I'm talking about games where you play with Mario, and maybe Luigi, through the game.

Kaosed

I know you care. Else, why would you try to mock him with "funney"? Why would you bother telling him nobody cares?

This is what happens when you diss someone without thinking first.
