Every Mainline Mario Finale Ranked 

First off, Happy 2024 🎇 My opinion on all mainline finales: SMB1: It's whatever for the first, but not much could be done. SMB: The Lost Levels: the main finale is worse than the original (although the same can be said for the entire game) and the secret finale (D-4) is worse than the main finale. SMB2: It's just okay. SMB3: I like that there are two different Bowser fights. SMW: A Tier NSMB: Level is okay, the final boss is mid, but considering the main purpose of the game, I can give it a pass, final boss music carries. Mario 64: I like it Mario Sunshine: Level is a bit unfair, but the actual boss and ending cutscene are good. Also, the final boss music is one of my favorites in general. SML: It's whatever. SML2: The final level is tough but not unfair. The Wario fight is okay. Super Mario Galaxy: Best in the series NSMBWii: Level is decent, the final boss is the best 2D one to date. Also, I never knew that the castle fell on Bowser. Super Mario Galaxy 2: A Tier SM3DL: Decent level, great final boss and ending cutscene. NSMB2: The finale is alright. The Koopa Clown Car flashing is the only interesting part of the level, the boss is actually not that bad, but not that great either. NSMBU/NSLU: The level is whatever, phase 2 of the final boss carries thanks to the music (🔥🤟). The clown car scene is nice too. SM3DW: A Tier Super Mario Odyssey: S Tier, but the Underground Moon Cavern's moons are too hidden. Bowser's Fury: Also S Tier, but would have been better if the fight wasn't repeated. Super Mario Bros Wonder: S Tier. Nothing more to say.

Happy New Year! And to give a small ranking, I will give some notable mentions from the good and bad finales. Sunshine, NSMB2 and Lost Levels are my least favorite Mario finales with Sunshine being ove the worst and NSMB2 being my least favorite personally. For the best, Bowser's Fury, would be swapped with 3D Land and the rest is the same as your top 5. Galaxy may be the best and my favorite, but as I said in another comment, Odyssey really takes it with the music with arguably the best Bowser boss theme in the mainline Mario games. Galaxy does have bonus points for the memories it had and finally 100% completing the game as Mario after more than 8 years. It made the ending even better with probably my favorite credits roll that reduced me to tears of joy. Mario at his best can be amazing and defined many a childhood. That's my ranking small ranking. Happy New Year everyone and have a nice day/night!

Here's how I would rank the mainline Mario finales. 20th (Last Place): Super Mario Sunshine 19th: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (one of the worst Mario games of all time, by the way) 18th: Super Mario Land 17th: Super Mario Bros. 2 16th: New Super Mario Bros. 2 15th: Super Mario Bros. 14th: New Super Mario Bros. 13th: Super Mario Land 2 12th: New Super Mario Bros. U 11th: Super Mario Bros. 3 10th: Super Mario Galaxy 2 9th: Super Mario 64 8th: Super Mario World 7th: New Super Mario Bros. Wii 6th: Super Mario Bros. Wonder 5th: Super Mario 3D Land 4th: Super Mario 3D World 3rd (Bronze Medal): Bowser's Fury 2nd (Silver Medal): Super Mario Odyssey 1st (Gold Medal): Super Mario Galaxy

And then he went down to 6 tiny meteors. At least give him more hp Nintendo

Favorite Sonic villain: Mephiles Favorite Mario villain: Fawful My favorite of the two: Mephiles

Maybe someday. I would like to tackle Zelda in the future.

Oh hey, I remember you. Glad to have you back!

I respect it but mario+rabbids sucks for me

1) I don’t prefer either. They’re both just decent. 2) Maybe someday.

@@tonysonic456 Happy New Year and have a great 2024 and extra good luck on your videos throughout the year

Depending on the top ten sure. Just hit me up on Discord.

@@tonysonic456 what’s your discord number?

I do.

It’s funny.

Sonic Colors, but Super Mario Odyssey is close behind.

@@tonysonic456 Sonic Colors is a good game with great boosting gameplay and great levels i think of a lot mainly Tropical Resort, Planet Wisp, & Starlight Carnival but in terms of which game overall i like more, mine personally would be Super Mario Odyssey.

Don’t know what you’re talking about.

⁠@@tonysonic456 36:55 Right around there, there’s one of them.

Maybe.

Hey Tony what do you think of sing 2

@@user-cy9dq7gi3y I like it.

What you think of Jimmy crystal how would you rank him as a villain compare to movie bowser and Victor please share your hospitality option

@@user-cy9dq7gi3y I don’t know about that. He’s decent, but he’s not the best thing ever.

True, but 64’s fights are consistently solid.

Got that right!

Why ?

@@Nabnab_TheTwistedOne because I didn’t hear anyone complain about it until NB made his video on SM64DS.

​@@meta527IIoh ok

I really wish it ended with Junior getting thrown into juvenile hall for what he did to Mario (at least for a short while before Bowser bails him out). Nah. He just kinda gets away with it all.

@@mariobroultimate1808 At least Bowser Jr is smart enough to tell his father that Peach isn't his mother.

@@greninjamariokartpokemonfan I personally think he should've actually believed what Bowser told him until learning the truth himself. Bowser Jr's pretty young. He wouldn't know how genetics work.

I feel like that's a gross exaggeration. Sure, the fight isn't really that hard, but to say it's painfully easy when something like New Super Mario Bros 2 and Sunshine's final bosses exist isn't really fair. Also, Bowser has never been playable in a mainline Mario game before. He was in Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story and in more than a few spinoffs, but those were spinoffs. Most of the time, playing as the Koopa King meant only aesthetical differences and maybe some different stats. Here, you feel like you're playing as Bowser which is exactly why people love it so much. That, and the entire sequence is amazing.

Well, Discord kinda changed that. They don't do numbers anymore. Instead they use usernames. Search for tonysonic, and you should find me.

@@tonysonic456 That’s great! Now it’ll be a lot easier to add people!
