With the imminent release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury on Switch, and the Super Mario 35th anniversary celebrations drawing to a close in a matter of weeks, we thought it was about time we tried putting all of Mario's original 2D platforming adventures into some kind of order. We've previously looked at each and every mainline 3D game in the Super Mario series, but now it's your chance to rank every one of the plumber's 2D adventures over the past three-and-a-half decades.#GamingiO

So, here we present to you every 2D Mario game ranked from 'worst' (rarely has a term been used in a more relative sense) to best. We omitted certain handheld ports and re-releases in order to streamline things, so you'll find the most 'significant' release if there's more than one version of the game (and there can be plenty to choose from these days!). We've also excluded thirty-five-player battle royale Super Mario Bros. 35 from the running as, unfortunately, it won't be an ongoing concern in the Mario canon past 31st March 2021.

This ranking comes from Nintendo Life readers' User Ratings for the games on our database and is subject to real time fluctuations even after publication. Yes, that means it's entirely possible to influence the ranking below if you haven't rated your favourites yet. To do so, simply click on the game you wish to rate and assign a score on the Game Page.

Many thanks to everyone who rated their favourites. Without further ado, let's dive into your ranking of every 2D Mario game...
