The most popular 2D Mario game on the site is Super Mario World. This contradicts the placings that Super Mario Bros. 3 had in past "best game ever" contests. Also, there's a heavy tie between the two when it comes to fanbases.

The most popular current-era 2D Mario game on the site is NSMB. This is because DS simply sold the most units. Among anyone who's played them, NSMB is the least popular title. It's the most barebones of the games. Every game beyond it is more challenging and its level design is deeper. NSMBU is arguably the best of the series. Super Mario Run is also heavily entertaining. However, it's been out for only less than a year, and there is still bad stigma amongst some gamers regarding mobile gaming.

Most popular 3D Mario on the site is 64. This is due to heavy nostalgia for the game in general. The "high" is kicking in due to Super Mario Odyssey. What makes this particularly ironic is, in 2007 onwards, many people argued Galaxy was easily the best title in the series.

Both games have sold over 11 million units overall. I feel the Odyssey high is contributing to this.

The best game? It's what you make of it. My favorites are Super Mario Bros. 3, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Super Mario 3D World. But if you're trying to make sense of which one gets the votes, I've given whatever argument I can.
