Of course ones who mainly cover Mario / Nintendo content, let's play channels are fine too. Use this to just talk about your (least) favorite content creators or recommend channels to others.

Favorites:
  • Summoning Salt is someone I could listen to for days. He makes videos covering the history of speedrunning in various games, and they're a pretty interesting watch; my favorite is the videos covering Mario Kart courses.
  • BikdipOnABus is probably my favorite LP channel, though I know he wouldn't be for everyone. He has a pretty unique style of humor that just makes his videos entertaining to watch for me. Definitely the best series he's done are those of Super Mario 64 ROM hacks.
  • Mayro makes entertaining content on New Super Mario Bros. series mods. Their style of comedy is weird but in an endearing way. Also just seems pretty chill in general.
  • I watch a lot of Smash content creators but Little Z, ZeRo, and Quak are probably my favorites; they make really entertaining videos. I'd also recommend King of Skill who makes really good montages and IzawSmash who makes extremely in-depths and informative guides.
  • Arlo makes some pretty informative videos, and I generally agree with his opinions on most of the videos he makes. Also pretty entertaining with his blue puppet shtick.
  • Vinesauce is a true classic.
Least Favorites:
  • Nathaniel Bandy still making TRIGGERED jokes in 2020.
  • Dorkly almost every joke they do you've seen or heard a million times. It's not a joke if your audience gets to the punchline before you do.
  • SuperMarioLogan is a smug, talentless asshole whose only skill is living in this gray area where he does bad shit but never bad enough to tank his career.
  • I used to really like SMG4 but his comedy style has changed very much in recent years compared to what he used to do and he's just fallen out of my interest.
  • And finally to cap all this off with a hot take: VideoGameDunkey's game critics video is a low point he hasn't recovered from imo. While he didn't put out a video as bad as that one again, his schtick has gotten really tired for me and I don't really respect his opinion as a reviewer because of that video game critics video where he elevates himself as a reviewer better than the outlets because his rating system gives more 3s and 2s on a 5 point scale. This thought process seems to still be at play too. Hasn't earned a unsubscribe yet but he's close to.
 
I used to watch the Runaway Guys but I don't really watch LPers that much any more. Aside from them, I don't really watch Mario-centric YouTubers.
 
The only youtube related Mario things I look at these days is when the people at giant bomb playing something Mario related.
 
I don't have any favorite Mario YTbers, but one of my favorite FE youtubers, called Mekkkah, started playing some Mario Maker 2 recently and it makes me realize how hilarious it is to be playing this game with a Fire Emblem mindset.

Least favorite is probably Nathaniel Bandy or Nicobbq. Both do content that I find is really reptitive for the most part, and their videos have just become extremely stale for my tastes. And whenever they do like, a Top 10 list both their results start looking roughly the same. Idk I don't like these channels.
 
oh mario specifically.. ill see what i can find
ceave gaming while he does have a bit of a quirky accent and. catch phrases?? i think his videos are pretty dam charming in general and informative
smallant1 has some entertaining mario odyssey speedrun highlights also. beat the game with 3 captures? How
icay makes entertaining smm2 videos 👁 these glitches...
desbug also with the multiplayer videos. i dunno theyre just fun
pannenkoek2012 of course. very dedicated to mario 64 and i respect that a ton
i unironically like smg4 more than id like to admit

favorite youtubers in general.. i could write a ton or just shoutout nitrorad so yea nitrorad is prob my number 1 favorite at this point
no least favorite but yea ill agree with yall on getting tired of bandys content. its just tons upon tons of "triggered" videos even ignoring the fact that theyre still named that in the first place

I don't watch any Mario or Nintendo-focused youtuber really but I just wanna say I can't respect any content creator that unironically said the 2016 Doom "has a very Nintendo-like gameplay loop" lol
 
I find him fine and all but, it's pretty clear to me he doesn't play much outside of Nintendo stuff, a common problem I have with many Nintendo fans.

*spits out drink*

what's a "nintendo-like gameplay loop"
 
In NB's defense, the Triggered videos really have little to do with triggered jokes other than that being the name. I've heard that he's wanted to change the name in the past but the fans would always vote to keep the old name in polls. I still like to watch those videos, the Mind-blowing ones, and the top tens occasionally, but I will admit that most of his content doesn't interest me anymore.

I like Arlo. He is very Nintendo-centric, but he tries to do some non-Nintendo stuff now and then. He's got a wholesome air about him and he doesn't deserve the bad rap he gets from Twitter people.
 
I am not attached to any particular Youtuber, but I do like the Runaway Guys collaborations when they do a Mario game, such as the recent Mario Party 8. They did cover the past 7 Mario Party games, excluding Mario Party Advance and Mario Party-e. They also cover certain Mario games with a co-op element such as the New Super Mario Bros. games and Super Mario 3D World too. I knew them because I heard of Chugga A. Conroy from Bulbapedia and NintendoCapriSun from a Mario Party Composer video, but ProtonJon was new to me. I didn't like the latter at first because he's crasser compared to the other two and his skill is a level above the others, but I warmed up to him after he used Waluigi in a Fortune Street match (and is subsequently his main character choice thereafter) because it's like Waluigi wins very often and that made it better to watch.

SwankyBox is another nice channel, because of his informative stance on his videos. Plus, he has unique intros related to the game and topic of coverage. For example, the "L is Real 2401" video has Luigi looming on the foreground.

Thank you for reading.
