Every Super Mario Bros. Game, Ranked
Updated November 20, 2017 to add Super Mario Odyssey
It's been more than three decades since the world first met Nintendo's plucky plumber mascot, Mario, and there is one undeniable fact: the Super Mario Bros. franchise has stood the test of time.
With Mario set to take the world again this month in Super Mario Odyssey on the Nintendo Switch, it's time to look back at the franchise to decide which entry is the very best. We ranked every Super Mario Bros. title, going all the way back to the original 1985 game, using scores from Metacritic and GameRankings.
Super Mario Land
The first Super Mario Bros. game to debut somewhere other than the NES also helped to launch the Game Boy as a portable gaming system.
“At its heart Super Mario Land is still a fantastic piece of history in the platform genre, and a thoroughly enjoyable romp for Mario fans in general.” —Adam Riley, Cubed3
