The BIG Mario Vote Thread! Voting Closed, Top Ten Unveiled - Thanks For Playing!

Not if Paper Mario Sticker Star has anything to say about it!

Mario is Missing won't be missing out on the top spot.

Thought of that, but wouldn't it count as a Luigi game?

I don't! It's very much up for grabs.

My votes went in earlier! Suppose I should mention that. Putting them into order took ages.

That... surprises me. But I'm glad of it.

NES Tennis is definitely in the running, I can feel it.

NES Tennis is way better than NES Soccer. Believe me!

I may have gotten carried away.

NES Tennis Campaign Poster:

 I "love" it.

Agreeing with the campaign. I'm adding fifty points to it's score so far, giving it...fifty points. That still wouldn't make the top three, mind.

If one or two more votes were to come in, I think the whole list could drastically change. The top ten is far from decided, should anyone else be interested in sending me their input. I've extended the deadline for that reason: I'm giving you until 9am tomorrow morning, then the first result will go up later in the day.

The DS vote was the exact same. I think with a franchise as storied and esteemed as Mario, there's not going to be many games running away with the top 10.

Jay clearly has a bit too much time on his hands at the moment.

Spending all day with my head buried in a 500 page tome for uni has made me a little stir crazy.  

Managed to get my votes in, found it fairly easy to narrow it down to a top 10 in the end and that's whilst I'm missing what most would say are pretty big hitters. I knows what I likes and I likes what I likes.

...and that's a wrap! Voting has finished, the mental calculator has been dusted off and put to use for the first time since Higher Maths in 2006, and the results will begin later today.

*a hush falls upon the forum, as we all await to see if Wrecking Crew won*

This is it: the top ten starts early, the top ten starts here, the top ten starts now. I'd like to thank everybody who took the time to get involved - hopefully we've got a list that's representative of what we believe are the best Super Mario games in existence.

Let's-a-go!

In joint-tenth place...:

In joint-tenth place...:

Okey-dokey!

Very happy with those two: MT was my third place, such was its quality, and DD!! my ninth.  (And I agree wholeheartedly with Jay about Daisy.  )  As you say, there hasn't been a sports games since (or before) to compete with Mario Tennis - Double Dash!!, however...

One question: how many people submitted votes overall?

If a Mario Kart had made my top 10 then I'd have voted for DD so I'm happy with that. Haven't played that Mario Tennis so I can't comment on it, though I did enjoy the pretty bare bones 3DS one.

Balladeer - I think it was fourteen, including myself. The most high-profile absentees (off the top of my head) were Buskalilly, beemoh, Sporkhead and Shanks. BOO THEM ALL.

Andyman - Mario Tennis 64 is outstanding. Well worth a Virtual Console download!

The latter three never vote anyway. You've done well enough getting Dusty on board: fourteen is more than I had in any voting Wiik!

Cool were underway, I'm guessing 9th's are tomorrow and so fourth in till we get to Number 1 on Sunday. Then It's my Vote Thread to start.

I'm just going to do it when I feel like it, to be honest. The reason I've been able to start it today is because work phoned me late on Friday to tell me not to come in. I'll do ninth later, eighth and seventh tomorrow, and then see what I can manage for the rest of the week. My postgrad study and my work take priority, of course.

Boo to Phillips' job.
