What is the best 3D Mario game?

Absolutely Galaxy. Still my favorite game of all time!

@nicksmi56: That's my favorite too. I've played all of them except 3D World (I just bought it recently though, so I'm looking forward to it).

Bump.

I really like Sunshine.

I want to say 64.

I feel silly. I voted for Galaxy 2 before seeing 3D World! Both were awesome, but 3D world just blew my expectations out of the ballpark. I do have to say, the first few levels made me think it was going to be kind of dull, but I should have known better from Nintendo!

@jedixman: Very underrated

@ostyo:

Absolutely. And its water effects are still gorgeous, even today. The lighting, too.

Galaxy but considering that 64 was a predecessor that still holds up well today.

@jedixman: Annnnd...I honestly enjoyed the seeing some story in a Mario game. Ham and all.

Bumpity bump bump. Any other takers?

Mario Galaxy. The only one I've ever enjoyed

@nerevarine_11: As in, you've never played the others or you didn't like them? If the latter, why?

Didn't like em weren't really my cup of tea.

I'm not that much of a Nintendo guy.

@nerevarine_11: Ah. I think it says a lot about Galaxy that even non-Nintendo fans can enjoy it. What games do you like?

Most games actually. RPGs, MMORPGS, shooters, platformers etc

Growing up I've played Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Dino Crisis, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Morrowind and Halo then gradually when the 360 came out playing Gears of War, Skyrim and then World of Warcraft as well.

Bump.

Sunshine was very unique.
