These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.

From Toadsworth to King Wart, several Mario characters have been sidelined by Nintendo.
wow none of them come close to the first one
2D Mario rocks
Dunno why, New super mario bros Wii is still not as fun as the early 2D mario games. Maybe it's the 2D-3Dish it has but I still love the old 2D Mario games more.
didn't it come with nes? ,.. so that is why,.. Still, a great game !
@Sigh ,.. agreed,.. !!
I even think, that controls are not as tight in new Super Mario bros Wii,..
I think they even felt better in Paper Mario on the Wii,.. and that is not 'sidescroller' for the most part,..its kinda an RPG,.. but platforming felt tighter,.. (Paper Mario is an awesome game bdw)
To NSMB Wii. I liked it as much as any of them (well, maybe I like SMB3 and Yoshi's Island a bit more). Also, you fans of Super Paper Mario are right on! We need another!
