Voted Tennis, Baseball, and Sports Mix/Superstars.
 
I voted for freaking all of them except the Olympics, I am such a sucker for Mario Sports games, lal. The main reason I haven't picked the Olympics is that I really wish you can choose your opponents in them, I dislike the randomized crap, and it's been a stagnant franchise anyway.

I really wish there was another DDR-like Mario game, I would play the hell out of that.
 
Tennis definitely, it has the most character to character interaction imo (gameplay wise not cutscenes).
The baseball game was cute though, a very close runner up if not tied.

I too would love a Mario DDR sequel.

The results are in!

  1. Tennis Votes: 12 (66.7%)
  2. Golf Votes: 7 (38.9%)
  3. Olympics Votes: 6 (33.3%)
  4. Baseball Votes: 5 (27.8%)
  5. Others (found in Sports Mix or Sports Superstars) Votes: 4 (22.2%)
  6. Football/Soccer (Strikers) Votes: 2 (11.1%)
  7. Basketball Votes: 2 (11.1%)
  8. Dancing (DDR) Votes: 2 (11.1%)

From the results, we can tell that Mario Tennis is the series that is the most favourite of the community, and it's easy to tell why Nintendo prioritised Mario Tennis as the choice of sports. Its gameplay is easier to learn, after all, since it's basically hitting the ball, but the Mario Tennis games tend to be less punishing compared to many Tennis games since it's not easy to hit the ball outside the court most of the time. Mario Golf is not far behind, since it's has quality games under its belt, although it's a bit difficult to learn due to the amount of terrain the player needs to keep track of. The Olympic games has a surprising lead, which is probably because of how many there are, and probably because of how many sports are found in the package and the fact that the Sonic characters are crossed over with. Other sport games aren't as popular, but they nonetheless have their fans, therefore none of the Mario Sports games aren't exactly unwanted after all.

The next poll will be about Mario power-ups in the 2D games, which covers the first Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, the two Super Mario Land games and the four New Super Mario Bros. games. These are the regular power-ups, so any of the temporary ones are omitted because they work differently, and some are even more powerful than the regular power-ups.

Thank you for reading.

EDIT: Thank you for the timely poll change, @Tressa Colzione!
 
i voted:

fire - the classic and simple what can i say
racoon - i actually think this is really intuitive and cool and unlike the cape just feels a lot more intuitiive and less broken and all that
bunny - floating around in super mario land 2 was pretty fun
mini - i love how much this changes platforming even if it has the downside of dying in one hit
blue shell - oh the days of just spinning around and trying to hit stuff and even trying to just beat levels this way
propeller - again nostalgia, it was really cool once this showed up when i played nsmbw
ice - seemed like a cool counterpart to the fire flower and works interestingly
penguin - awesome, it combines the ice flower, it has better swimming (a huge plus in the beach world, also i didn't know about SMB3 or the frog suit back then so it was a novelty to me), and it lets you slide kinda like the blue shell but you need an icy surface to keep going.
 
Voted for the Blue Shell and the Propeller Suit

The Blue Shell is whole lot fun to use, omg, love using it in the game as well as in Mario vs Luigi, I love spinning around in it.

The Propeller Suit as a kickass helicopter design that I like, and it's a nice and balanced flying power-up that I enjoyed using.

cape is just pretty fun to fly with AND you can descend slower like in rayman games which. you know me of course i would like that! (raccoon/tanooki mario can do that too but you gotta mash the jump button for it which isnt ideal. instead of just holding it)
 
I've said this a lot on the forums but
The cape is my favorite powerup. It's the most dynamic versatile (2nd to FLUDD). Not only can you 360 whip it around but you can also master flying with it through well timed air bouncing, and dive bomb with it or glide if so choose.
