What Is The BEST 3D Mario Game?! (All 9 3D Mario Games RANKED!) 

If I remember correctly, 3D Land was made because Nintendo wanted to introduce 2D Mario fans to the third dimension.

I'm gonna be honest, I can't rank them. I just have too many emotional ties to each of these games that when thinking back to each of them, it's just happy memories. I try ranking them by using factors that each game has above the other, but then I remember how much fun I had with all of them. Even when there are times that they suck and become very frustrating, I can't help but just have joy in the experience. It's actually impossible for me to genuinely rank them. They are all amazing and just so much fun.

Galaxy 2 better go to Switch 2 eventually 😂

3D Land gang assemble! My precious little masterpiece

Mario Odyssey is my all time favorite and after 8 years I have beaten it countless times and every time finding more moons I've never seen and as the video said the music is great it is something else if I showed someone New Donk city they would not be able to tell (besides the Mario billboards). That game is phenomenal I don't care how much I have to say it Mario Odyssey is my favorite game ever.

Odyssey actually is a special game to me as well. I remember I brought it and hadn’t played it yet. My family actually had when on vacation for the weekend and I had the house to myself during that summer. I setup my front room just to chill and play Odyssey that weekend. It was just a great time. 2d will always be my favorite but Odyssey definitely is special to me

Super Mario Odyssey is still head and shoulders above the rest in practically every way to me

I like all 3D Mario games to be honestly none of them are bad

13:56 I love the respect you gave bouy base Galaxy, its probably has my favourite piece of music in any game ever

I really enjoyed all the 3D Mario games but my personal favorites are Mario Galaxy 3D World and Mario Odyssey

With a Mario game I want the core Mario vibe with some new things i prefer not to much drastic from what I love in the Mario franchise but new things like power ups and enemies I love to see I don’t really like straying off from the core of Mario that we know and love (Awesome video keep up the good work!!! 🔥😎)

Taking turns playing galaxy 1 and 2 with my brother will always be some of my favorite memories, and same with playing 3d world at my friends house, but when I finally got Mario odessy just last year, I was absolutely blown away, like I played it less than 6 months ago and I already have so much nostalgia for it + on the moon where all the different creatures from each kingdom stand next to each other looking at the earth still makes me tear up

So I almost totally agree with your list. I was totally happy to see Mario 64 DS over the original and Galaxy 1 over 2 as controversial as those pics are. But dude, I gotta switch your number 1 and 2. Don't get me wrong, it is VERY close between those two, but Galaxy is ICONIC! The music, the worlds, the hub, the introduction of Rosalina, and just the whole atmosphere go together so perfectly. Like it is one of my few 10/10 games for sure. And like Odessey is good but I did have a few problems with it. The moons just don't feel as satisfying to get when you collect so many of them. And some of the worlds just felt disjointed compared to each other. But it's still really good, just 2nd for me. Also yes bring Galaxy 2 to switch please!

Super Mario Odyssey is the best 3D for me,clearly.

Super Mario 3D Land or Super Mario Galaxy are my favorite 3D Mario games for the Wii and 3DS overall. Super Mario 3D World has a next level story in another world. Hats off to these 3 Mario games. 😄

I LOVE Mario 64 DS. So happy to see your ranking it as I felt I was on an island on this one

Super Mario Sunshine is definitely one of the Mario best games to exist only do to it being unique and creative and it is really fun to master everything. The Dang Boat made my me rage in a game for the first time and every time now

Super Mario Odessy is easily the best imo and it'll be very hard to top

Bowsers fury is phenomenal (for me at least) banger music, bosses, and levels, but SMO takes all that from fury to the extreme 👏

Super Mario Sunshine is the best in my opinion. Not even a question!!!!!

Finally someone that remembers that 3D world and 3D land exists

I loved Super Mario Odyssey when it was released; however, over time, I began to notice its flaws more and more. Today, I would rank *Odyssey* in fourth place, alongside 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and with Super Mario Galaxy 2, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario 64 taking the lead. Now, I'd like to share my perspective on why it's not as high on my list. Firstly, its biggest flaw, in my opinion, is the excessive number of Power Moons. There seem to be around 10 Moons in every corner, easily obtained through ground pounding capturing or other little effort, with most lacking any real challenge. You can acquire 90% of the moons in less than a minute. In contrast, *Super Mario Galaxy* offered unique challenges with each Star, diverse environments, and captivating gameplay. With only a handful of Stars in each Galaxy, you completed it before it became monotonous. However, after collecting 50+ Moons in every Kingdom in *Odyssey*, the repetition became tiresome. While there are some more challenging Moons hidden behind Pipes or Doors, most environments feel artificial and lackluster, with the music becoming repetitive quickly. Another issue with the Kingdoms is their flat appearance. As they aimed for more realistic environments like New Donk City or the Sand Kingdom, there were fewer significant platforming areas. For instance, Tostarena Town and New Donk City lack depth in their Plattforming areas. Moreover, the Capture mechanic isn't as enjoyable in my opinion and can't replace traditional Mario items. Captures often feel like downgrades, restricting movement and only being necessary for specific events. Additionally, the lack of compelling bosses in Super Mario Odyssey is disappointing. Besides the Broodals, which I don't consider true bosses, there are only seven original bosses plus the final Bowser fight. While Super Mario Galaxy games felt like grand adventures, Odyssey feels more like a repetitive collection task, akin to gathering all 900 Korok Seeds in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. However some things i really like about odyssey are its graphics and movement. Even though you can cheese through many passages with the cappy mechanic

My favourite is super Mario 64 so many things to do and all of the soundtracks in it will remind me how great it is

Most of the Minigames in Mario 64 DS are also on the NSMBDS game as well, and I love those Minigames, I have very high scores on them, and I'm always trying to beat my personal best, even though some may be impossible to beat since I have them so high.

9: Bowsers Fury** 8: Sunshine 7: Galaxy* 6: Galaxy 2 5: 3D Land** 4: 3D World** 3: 64** 2: 64DS 1: Odyssey* I know this could be seen as bias but * means I’ve beaten the game and ** means I’ve 100%

My Top 5: 5. Sunshine 4. Galaxy 2 3. Oddysey 2. Galaxy 1. Mario 64

Happy to see 64ds get the respect it deserves!

I love super Mario odyssey but the first 3D Mario game I’ve ever played was super Mario 64 DS and that would be my pick

For me, its Super Mario Odyssey Super Mario Galaxy Super Mario 64 DS Super Mario Galaxy 2 Super Mario 64 Super Mario 3D World Super Mario Sunshine Theses are the only ones I've played

Didn't expect to agree with this list so much. Other than 3d World it's honestly perfect (though I do slightly prefer Galaxy 2 over Galaxy 1)

Finally someone who realizes how good Mario 64 da really is

I've only played a handful, but my top three is probably Odyssey, 3D World, and Galaxy. Galaxy is in a solid third, the other two are tied for first, they both are great for different reasons.

Super mario 64 ds is my favorite game!

The soundtrack is a banger

1. SM64 DS is indeed better than the og. 2. Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a retelling of SM Galaxy 1. At the end of the game we find out that Rosalina was telling the story to some baby Lumas.

how did you put 3d world at 8th I would do 2nd or 3rd

Mario sunshine is my favorite Mario game but I understand why people don't like it

Thank you for making Mario odyssey my favorite game ever I’m subscribing

My ranking 1. Super Mario Galaxy 2 2. Super Mario Odyssey 3. Super Mario Galaxy 4. Super Mario 3D World 5. Super Mario 64 6. Super Mario 64 DS 7. Super Mario Sunshine 8. Super Mario 3D Land 9. Bowser’s Fury (It’s way too short to be better than any of the other FULL games)

3D World is at least top three IMO. It’s so good. Way too underrated.

Keanu Reeves is... Shadow the Hedgehog in... Sonic the Hedgehog 3! Paramount Shadow: "Maria..."

My list is: 9. Super Mario 3D land 8. Super Mario 64 ds 7. Bowsers fury 6. Super Mario sunshine 5. Super Mario galaxy 2 (plz no hate, I don’t have too much experience with the game) 4. Super Mario 64 3. Super Mario 3D world 2. Super Mario galaxy 1. Super Mario odyssey

I’m dropping a dislike for disrespecting 3D World and putting it at number 8 when it’s amazing and I’m GODLIKE at it which everyone can see on my channel 🤦‍♀️💀

...OG 64 Galaxy Oddyssey

My favorite is Super Mario Galaxy 2, and my second favorite is Princess Peach: Showtime!. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has a much better camera than Super Mario Odyssey because the camera has smooth interpolation, and it is automatic, so you don't have to be controlling two analog sticks at once. The movement in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is more precise, so players cannot just speed through every level and skip past all the interesting mechanics and level design. In Super Mario Odyssey, moons are scattered everywhere and if you collect enough, you can skip the main story and boss fights.

Super Mario Odyssey is one of my favorite and the best 3D Mario games ever! Yahoo!

Odyssey the goat in my top 5 all time game.

9. 3D Land 8. 64 DS 7. 3D World 6. Bowser's Fury 5. 64 4. Odyssey 3. Sunshine 2. Galaxy 1 1. Galaxy 2

Okay Nin10doland is my favorite RU-vidr but 3D world at 8th?! Come on man.

Super Mario Galaxy is still the best 3D title in my opinion. The music, the levels, the visuals, the overall concept is just amazing.

So idk if very many people know this, but in the beginning of Mario galaxy 2, it claims to be a retelling of the story of Mario galaxy 1

He really put my top 3 dead last😢

Is mario odyssey worth it? I literally just got a switch 2 weeks ago. I am mostly an rpg guy but love adventure games and 2d mario. Odyssey looks really fun because it seems more like an adventure game rather than a platformer where you just have to make it to the end of the level. It looks like there is a lot of replay value and post game content which is important to me. I'm curious on what people would choose between odyssey and kirby forgotten land?

It felt like mario 64 and sunshine perfected the adventure exploration, Galaxy 1 and 2 perfected the platforming and Odyssey brought it all together ❤

My favorite is super Mario odyssey

I kinda like the linear Mario games more, because you dont miss much

Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite 3D Mario game overall because of its creativity and grand scope and pretty much everything else about it, but I still love the others too for different reasons. Super Mario 64 for its replayability and simplicity, Super Mario Sunshine for its uniqueness, style, FLUDD as a mechanic and Isle Delfino as a unique world and its interconnected nature and cohesion, Super Mario 64 DS because of its extra missions, minigames, having Luigi, Wario and Yoshi as playable characters, its new powerups and nostalgia as it was my first 3D Mario game and I love it because of that too, Super Mario 3D Land for its pick-up and play nature as a handheld 3D Mario and it's callbacks to Mario 3, and Super Mario 3D World for its playable characters, hybrid 2D & 3D nature and its great classic style linear platforming levels, it's new powerups like Cat Mario and the Double Cherry and its soundtrack as well, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for its new powerups and how it uses Yoshi and has callbacks to past Mario games while having plenty of unique ideas of its own as well too, and Super Mario Odyssey for its fresh new kingdoms and how it honors the series's whole history in different ways, like with its 8-bit 2D sections, Cappy and the Capture mechanic and how abstract and unforgettable locations like New Donk City, the Luncheon Kingdom and Tosterena are, as well as its new characters like the Broodals, and the game's boss fights as well as its climatic ending sequence too, and Bowser's Fury for how much freedom it gives you, Plessis as a fast way to move around, being able to use 3D World's powerups in a more open game, and Fury Bowser's design and as a mechanic, the game's jazzy soundtrack and its loving and fun callbacks to Super Mario Sunshine as well.

I absolutely love this game but Sunshine in any place besides 9th is mind boggling.

To be perfectly honest here, I don’t think there’s a single bad 3D Mario. All of them are great.

I see A Shadow-Drop Of a Super Mario Galaxy 2 Port/Remaster at best during the Upcoming Nintendo Direct this Month/May or June!!

ALRIGHT WE GET IT 0:18

Nah 3d world hold so many memories its not even funny to me it was perfect but i respect your opinion

Bowser's Fury is my fav Mario game and I will stand by that Quality over Quantity

You know what, the D-pad controls on 64 DS don't matter to me as much now as they used to because of the fact that I've gotten used to them over the years but also I genuinely love 64 DS and it is my favorite 3D Mario game because what other 3D Mario has Wario as a playable character and has given an entire generation of gamers a gambling addiction?

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is definitely my favourite game of all-time. On top of all of Galaxy 1's goodness, there were new features added like Yoshi and the Cloud Flower that edge it over its predecessor for me. I also really enjoyed Fluzzard's levels, and I think this is the first time Yoshi's had powerups since Super Mario World, and they were great as well, like the dash pepper. My only complaint with both of them is that I wish that they would've used the Boo Mushrooms more as it's such a cool powerup, but apart from that, both of them, but especially Galaxy 2 are near perfection in my eyes 🙂

My list 9-3D land 8-64 DS 7-64 6-Sunshine 5-Bowser Fury 4-Galaxy 3-Odyssey 2-Galaxy 2 1-3D world

Ever since SMB2, when I hoped SMB3 would be 3D (which a lot of game franchises were getting into at the time) and would yet return to form of the original SMB, that was what I always wanted from a 3D Mario. SMB had a "flow" to it, with its linear format, and "open world" just doesn't have it. In SMB, you automatically knew what to do, where in Mario 64, I didn't know where to begin. So 3DW and 3DL were the "holy grail", for me. Odyssey is nice for the realistic NYC graphics, and luncheon kingdom looks nice as well. Bowser's Fury is open world, but it's small size is non-overwhelming. My first 3D was Galaxy 2, and the little worldlet concept was also nice, and easier to know what to do. (I would group those togther, since they are so similar). With 64, I just can't get over the crude polygon graphics, and I don't know why they didn't completely redo that when they redid it for 3D Allstars. Sunshine was a bg improvement, though.

I’m stump if the best 3D is either Super Mario 64, The Galaxy Games, or Super Mario Odyssey.

I actually enjoy 3D Land more than 3D World. With the fixed isometric camera, I think the stereoscopic 3D really helps.

Mario sunshine was basically the predecessor for Splatoon

My ranking 1. Super Mario Odyssey (Legendary 3D Mario game. Literally my first Mario game) 2. Bowser’s Fury (Second best 3D Mario game!!! I have 600 hours on this game) 3. Super Mario 3D World (Incredible game best post game!!) 4. Super Mario Galaxy (Haven't 100 completed it still stuck at that Penguin planet fun though. ) 5. Super Mario Sunshine (Haven't 100% it fun game) 6. Super Mario 64 (Controls are meh haven't completed it yet) I never played SM64DS, SM3DL, And SMG2.

As much as i like odyssey I prefer what propose bowser's fury and imagine in a bigger scale with true power up

Here's my ranking from lowest to highest. 9. Bowser's Fury ( no need the 3D World switch version since I played it on Wii U) 8. 3D Land 7. 64 DS 6. OG 64 5. Galaxy 2 4. Galaxy 1 3. 3D World 2. Sunshine, you're my Sunshine 1. The GOAT Odyssey

My list 1. Super Mario Galaxy 2. Super Mario Odyssey 3. Super Mario Galaxy 2 4. Super Mario 64 5. Super Mario Sunshine 6. Super Mario 3D World 7. Super Mario 64 DS 8. Bowser’s Fury (I really really wish this game had more) 9. Super Mario 3D Land Let me know what y’all think

My personal list: 9. 3d Land 8. Sunshine 7. 64 6. 64 DS 5. Bowser's Fury 4. 3d World 3. Galaxy 2. Galaxy 2 1. Odyssey

Normally I fight tooth and nail for Mario Galaxy but eh. Second place is respectable. Still the best in my heart. Now if you’ll excuse me I sense two chaps debating whether 64’s chipper soundtrack or Galaxy’s composed masterpieces had more crazy cool soundtrack in a chat room.

Mario Sunshine will forever and always be my favourite. It's crappy camera angles and wonky controls just add character 😁 in reality, each "new" 3D installment should theoretically be bigger and better than the last, so it's really difficult to rank based on game play. The upcoming game for the switch 2 should blow odyssey out of the water

Honestly, I agree with you except for the top 3. I would have put Odyssey in 3rd, Galaxy in 2nd and Galaxy 2 in 1st

Here's my list. 9) Super Mario 64 DS 8) Super Mario Sunshine 7) Super Mario 3D Land 6) Super Mario 64 5) Super Mario 3D World 4) Bowser's Fury 3) Super Mario Galaxy 2) Super Mario Galaxy 2 1) Super Mario Odyssey

Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2 tied no questions asked with Odyssey being in 2nd

You forgot Mario rabbids if it counts

The first Galaxy plus 64 and its’ DS remake for me.

pretty much agree with this list but I would put sunshine two spots higher and put 64 ds lower than 64

Not a single day makes me forget Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Odyssey because I love these games

My ranking: #9 3D Land #8 3D World #7 Odyssey #6 Sunshine #5 64 DS #4 Galaxy 2 #3 Galaxy #2 Bowser's Fury #1 64

Glad you gave sm64ds some respect cause it really is a better version of the original, and if you can't stand the controls just play it on a 3ds!

Sunshine is my favorite Mario game.

My #1 will always be Super Mario 64 & Super Mario Galaxy would be #2, because they're just wonderous games. Mario 64 isn't exhausting, just that many people never experienced the game when it came out at the time.

Galaxy 2 is my favorite game of all time should have been higher

I would have liked Bowser's Fury a lot more if Bowser hadn't interrupted me every couple of minutes; the exploration was great.

And about SM64 DS, if you play on a 3DS, the D pad issue is solved

I've played all of them, (minus Galaxy 2) and they're awesome in their own respected way.

But no Waluigi yah SM64DS did my boy dirty

Where is our 3-D Mario open World Nintendo?!?!?😡

I like more 3D Mario games than 2D Mario games. Here's my Top5 List of the Best 3D Super Mario games: 5: Super Mario 64 (on 64 and DS what I have on Switch Online and 3D All Stars, but I want to try DS the Better version) 4: Super Mario Sunshine (on Gamecube and Switch what I have on Switch 3D All Stars) 3: Super Mario 3D Land (on 3DS) 2: Super Mario 3D Worls (on Wii U and Switch what I still have on Wii U version) 1: Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 (what bothe are on Wii and 1 is on Switch too what I have both Wii and Switch versions, and I really hope to see Super Mario Galaxy 2 finally coming to Switch someday.) Super Mario is the Best Platforming Game Serie of All Time, because in History with Super Mario 64 it started the Platforming Games. After tvis video would you plz make a video about of the Best 2D Super Mario games. My first Mario game and the Best 2D New Super Mario Bros game for me is New Super Mario Bros DS, and then New Super Mario Bros Wii. As a Nintendo fan, love these videos! 😊❤

For me it would be (looking at it more objectively otherwise Sunshine would 100% be one for me too) Odyssey Galaxy 2 3D World Galaxy 1 Sunshine 64 DS Bowser's Fury 64 3D Land

Mario galaxy is the goat of all Mario games

My Rankings 1 Galaxy 2 Odyssey 3 Sunshine 4 Galaxy 2 5 Bowser's Fury 6 3D World But BF and 3D World are extremely close though 7 3D Land 8 64 DS 9 64

I eat the cotton candy from my walls

Super Mario Galaxy is way better than the others
