Super Mario RPG, FTW.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Super Mario Bros 3 closely followed by the original.

Honorable mention goes to Super Mario Sunshine because of the nostalgia... I know it's not a classic but I had to bring it up.

 

[Brutal Peanut]

Super Mario Bros, is my choice. ^_^

 

[Exia91]

Yoshi's Island to me. I cannot describe how much I enjoyed it.
Played it for months in a row, doing all worlds over and over again. There are actually some levels I can 'play with my eyes closed', so many times i played it

 

[octafish]

Um, can I say Mario Kart?

 

[Best of the 3]

I know it's a crime but... I've never like Mario at all.

[Cracktopus]

SMB3 was simply the best.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

SMB3!! I loved the Hammer Bros. suit! You could kick massive ass with that thing!

 

[Something Amyss]

As I said in the thread on the comment itself, I like SMB3. I just like World more.

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Donkey Kong, I'm definitely counting that as a 'classic Mario' game. It was his first after all.

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

I played Super Mario Bros. ALL the time when I was a kid. I only had the 1st one, so I didn't have much choice, haha. It grew on me, even though I couldn't get past the first level. (I wasn't very good at games when I was little.)

 

[Azaradel]

Yoshi's Island is pretty high up on my list of Favorite Games Ever, so yeah, that one.

 

[Subzerowings]

Super Mario World.
I just love Joshi and flying around with that yellow cape.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Does Super Mario 64 count as a classic?

 

[felixader]

With Super Mario 64 i really started getting into gaming, that and the freedome of it's gameplay while beeing a awesome Mario Game is why my heart is beating for this game.

 

[Irridium]

I haven't actually played much Mario games.

But I did play the hell out of Super Mario RPG. That game kicked ass.

 

[The Great JT]

Super Mario Bros. 3.

First game I purchased with my own money, and damn was it a good buy.
