Underrated Mario Games

My sister once said that Dry Bones is a Deed Yoshi. But if you look at it. It could be a Deed Koopa.
I might just sig this.

People just hate the babies for no good reason other than "rip-offs" and they praise Dry Bones, who is essentially a rip-off of a Koopa Troopa.

Who in the heck praises Dry Bones? That doesn't even make sense to me.

People just think Dry Bones are cool because they're the remains of Bowser's dead minions.

I believe they are dead Koopas. if you tattle the dull bones on Paper Mario:TTYD, it says that it used to be a koopa, so the same may apply for dry bones.

Super Mario Sunshine
Nintendo rated it in Nintendo Power their worst game in the series, and it deserves more credit than it gets.

They must be forgeting SMB2

Hey, I enjoyed Super Mario Bros. 2 a lot
 
I really didn't enjoy SMB2. But if there was no SMB2, I guess no Shy Guys.

But still, SMS is not the worst. It's one of the best. SM64 probably got first. That game is REALLY overrated.

I beg to differ. It was extremely revolutionary for its time, and that's why it gets so much credit.

SMB2 was had unique gameplay that was excellent, why don't you like it.
 
People don't like it simply because it was a ripoff.

I liked Super Mario Bros. 2 for many things.
 
Super Mario Bros. 2 had Peach not getting kidnapped for once
 
And it had Tryclyde in it.

I really loved Super Mario Bros. 2
 
SMB2 is often recorded as a failure due to being a clone(or vastly similar) of another game.

Overall though its pretty good, has some of the best songs in the series, 4 playable characters, great levels, and fun bosses.


SMS feels very underated too. Of course SMS had a lot to live up to as well and also boasted some horrible features.

Such as the yoshi limitation, blue coins, terrible boat controls, and some rather irritating special stages.

Overall though both games are really solid and some of the best platformers in their genre.
 
The secret stages look fun in Super Mario Sunshine

Super Mario Sunshine is great overall, so far, but I hated the minigames (Blooper Surfing and Roller Coaster, anyone?). Really, what is up with the rocket's aim? If only they could focus on the main stages, I would enjoy it more.

most of them are but there are some rather irritating and tiresome ones.

Example the one in the hotel where you must continually jump up moving blocks for 15 minutes.

Mess up once and start over, it becomes rather irritating, of course this isn't even the worst one.

Totally agree, the minigames were very... uninteresting. Whole the majority of the games levels were pretty fun for the most part.

SMS also have my favorite boss in the entire series, the manta ray.
 
Nintendo is, like, the only series to put stupid-hard minigames, it seems. I enjoy challenge, like in some of the secret levels, but Blooper Surfing and Roller Coasting Rocket Balloons are ridiculous. Did they ever play those abominations themselves?
 
I didn't like it if you die, all the game does is waste a lot of time for you. Like, getting kicked out, and entering that thing again, etc. It gets very cumbersome
 
The lives system just makes it worse.

People might not have actually liked the game itself, you know. Because it was such a departure from the first game, they may not of liked the different style of gameplay.

I did like it though...

Me too. I don't care if it's different (not too different though), I enjoy innovation.
 
Yeah, I agree SPM is underrated. Now, don't get me wrong though, I hated some features about it, but definitely not bad. And I'm not saying it's the best game ever, either. I'll ramble about it tomorrow since I'm too lazy to do it tonight :P
 


Not at all. Mario Party 8 is often shot out as the worst Mario Party.

And I agree that Super Paper Mario is underrated, but that's because everyone's saying "OMG NOT A PAPER MARIO RPG!! WORST GAME EVAH!!!!"
