What do you think the worst Mario game is. (Including spinoffs) if you have a reason for not liking it include it.

Mario Kart Wii. My reason for not liking it is because I don't find the gameplay very interesting (probably just that racers aren't my type) and the game has no story and no interesting characters in its roster (imo) not that I dislike characters like Peach, Luigi, and Donkey Kong just that they're in enough other Mario related games that it's not really interesting to me. The graphics are also average i guess for its time, so by present day me's standards not great and its artystle is nothing special either. At least it does have catchy music. The only reason i'm not answering another mario kart game is because i haven't played any others, apart from i think i played the snes one in a retro gaming event once, a very long time ago, and it wasn't so bad
 
Lost Levels is basically a Mario Maker troll level, but stretched out to a full game. The Mario 2 we got is way better imo.

Mario Kart Tour has some pretty bad microtransaction stuff, but the core game is pretty fun, so idk if that counts.

Sticker Star is just a poorly designed game. There's no exp so battling random enemies is completely pointless. Key items that you need to solve puzzles are easily missed, and the game doesn't really tell you where they're at, so it's super easy to get stuck.
 
Imma go ahead and put mine. I really don't like any of the Mario party games. I just find them bland and boring. I don't really like warioware either being the same game but 2D. I simply don't like mini game style games. I also dislike 3D land but at least it's okay.
 
I have to say, while Super Mario Maker 2 was far from being a bad game, it also wasn't great either? Like only a month in and I was generally unimpressed by the game itself. By the time it received its last update, I was already invested in Animal Crossing to give SMM2 my attention.

I wish I could go back to it, but what new benefits would I get?
 
Say what you want about poorly designed games but none of them are as harmful and predatory as Mario Kart Tour

People say the same about Diablo Immortal, only that Diablo Immortal is wayyy worse about the microtransactions. They're both over that turd bedrock.

I'm not a fan of the Mario VS Donkey Kong series. It gives me too much tension and anxiety having to pay attention to everything everywhere all at once.

Also one user here won't like this but I never cared much for Dr. Mario. Out of all the big wig puzzle games it's one of the more convoluted ones. Only to be trumped in dislike by the minigame Tox Box Shuffle. Though I do rank Dr. Mario better than its clear cut rival, Mean Bean Machine.

On a purely objective level, probably any of the Software Toolworks/Mindscape educational games. They're not even that good at being educational, lol.

As someone who has actually played Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun and its CD ROM collection version of the game and has explored everything it has to offer, you are wrong; it exemplifies the sheer hypocrisy of fans who go "oh why doesn't Nintendo include representation of more niche series in their spin-offs" and ignore the timeless beloved characters such as the Fun Friends and these unnamed child characters who bear an uncanny resemblance to Mario

It has creatively designed worlds such as Shape World, Opposite World (which is just a carnival theme park), and Color World (the last two levels are grocery-themed, a theme we have yet to have in a Mario platformer)

You can play as Peach and Yoshi, you couldn't play as Peach since SMB2. Yoshi is only to the SNES version of the game so make sure you get both versions to get the complete experience (as well as the CD Rom collection version of the game)/

The game has voice-overs, which has preceded every other Mario game ever.

and deep lore such as Weegee being a bus driver (if only we had a Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers-style reference and have the Illumination Mario movie reference Weegee and his bus driver occupation!)

Enjoy the horrifying stark contrasts between the two versions of this game (what other Mario game can be played on two platforms? HUH? It's ahead of its time.), because if you continue to shit on it, I'll go and play Fun with Lett
