It was probably the most innovative since SMB though. It didn't grab me either, though. To this day, I have yet to finish a 3D mario game (I haven't even tried Sunshine).

I'm going to agree with Ryan on Mario 64; I understand it's a revolutionary title, but I hated to see the franchise go 3D, and I honestly don't believe it was better than any of the first three Marios.

And in the most technical sense, I do believe SM 3 was the best. But if I were to list the "best games ever," the original Super Mario Bros. gets placed higher. At #1, in fact. I think it was just purely perfect, and despite not having the advancements of SM 3, it had ten times the impact on me (and the industry), and I have to take that into account. It's why Mario 64 also has to be on such a list, as much as I dislike it.

I can see where the praise for Super Mario 64 comes from, but I didn't dig the move to 3D either. There were other subtleties that bothered me about the game, too... I didn't like the swimming mechanic, for example. I freaking HATED that crying penguin, too. (Not relevant to gameplay, but hey...)

Super Mario Galaxy was about as close to perfect a Mario game as I could have imagined. I still hold Super Mario 3 in high regard, but SMG blew me away.
