ITT we post about our favorite iterations of Mario. This includes official and unofficial iterations. As long as it's a form of Mario in some way, it counts.

One of my favorite Marios is Paper Mario, specifically the one from Paper Mario 1. Some of his sprites are just so charming to me in a way I can't describe.

I also like the Mini Mario from NSMB DS. Look at how freaking pixel-y this guy is

Then there's Weird Mario from Maker 1. Can't believe they didn't bring him back in the second game SMH

Okay, history has been rewritten, now this topic is now about our favorite iterations of Mario. I searched and couldn't find this type of thread so I think this is new.
 
My favorite iteration of the Mario video game character (so to not confuse him with other Marios) would be the go-to basic 3d one that's been in all games. I've always digged that art style, so 3D standard/on-model is the most common style I draw for Mario. Now, for a particular art style, that depends on my mood but I think Luigi's Mansion Mario and Mario Party Superstars Marios are among my favorites. Mario Party Superstars Mario also gets blush marks on him, which is just utterly adorable.

Just look at his face. So precious.

And here you can see the faint blushes. Lovely.

I've grown nostalgic attachment for Mario models made for the GCN too. I know he's not THAT much different back then but it has to be the combination of the color choices and the decades-old rendering engine (such as the lack of defined shadows, anti-aliasing, and texture detailing) that we're not going to see again, at least in an official capacity. This is one of my favorite angles of him.

I don't like the rigging of the Mario Odyssey models in general but I do say it's the first game to give Mario a prolific crossdressing outfit. I'll always be grateful for that and I hope Mario gets to put on a pretty dress more often in the future.

Metal Mario is one of my favorites, especially his N64 era appearance. To be honest I think my favorite Mario iteration in general is the N64-era appearance, it's just so iconic and nostalgic. His facial expressions is SM64 were so good, they pulled off him having a real personality but still having the whole "neutral incarnation of the player" thing.
