Hi there! If you’re joining us now, the month of march is gonna be all about platforming games – 2D, 3D, maybe even 2.5D.
We can’t very well do a platforming month without giving some spotlight to the portly plumber that made the genre a smash hit, and so here it is. Todays prompt focuses on the 3D Mario platformer games, as well as the various spinoff subseries for good measure.
Focusing specifically on the 3D efforts, what are your most and least favorite Mario games? What are your favorite of the myriad spinoff games?
Bonus: Any gimmicks, powerups or ideas that should’ve been carried forward in more games? Hopes for whatever is next for 3D Mario?

Extra Bonus Deluxe: What sport should get the Mario makeover next?
Extra Bonus Triple Deluxe: Hopes for Mario Kart 9?
