start dropping suggestions for future topics, put them in spoilers though so we don't get people thinking too early, this is supposed to be kneejerk reactions.

these topics do not close when they are done so if you want to go argue over the results feel free to bump old topics and increase my brand recognition: https://bit.ly/YFTB8

Old Results: https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Your_First_Thought#Previous_Results

105) Smash character that shouldn't be in Smash: Cloud (Corrin, Piranha Plant, Byleth, Joker, Bayonetta, Dark Pit)
106) Playstation Mascot: Crash Bandicoot (Sackboy, Kratos, Nathan Drake, Toro/Doro/Taro/Todo/The fucking cat, what is his name?)
107) JRPG: Final Fantasy (A variety of specific Final Fantasies [usually VII or X], Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, a Persona, a Trails, a Tales)
108) bad game: Big Rigs/Sonic 06 (Superman 64, ET, a variety of Final Fantasies [XII, XIII, XV, even VII!], Kingdom Hearts??)
109) Best place to buy video games: GameStop (people wanted to point out GameStop is NOT the best place to buy video games, Best Buy, Amazon, "The Internet"/Online, EB Games)
110) Nintendo's greatest rival: SEGA (like everyone said SEGA, more people said "Sonic" than "Sony.")
111) A game that would make a great musical: Kingdom Hearts (Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure, Undertale, Celeste, Metal Gear Solid, Mega Man, Chrono Trigger, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Ace Attorney, God of War, Mario RPG, FFVIII, Trails, lots of good answers and I want them all to be musicals)
112) Game that made you say 'what the fuck:' Killer7/Drakengard (MGS/2, various Danganronpas, Celeste, Doki Doki Literature Club!, Undertale, BioShock/Infinite, Katamari Damacy, INSIDE, Spec Ops: The Line)
113) Coolest video game subtitle: Sons of Liberty (Revengeance,Up Your Arsenal, Snake Eater, Trigger Happy Havoc, Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, Sanity's Requiem, all those german Xenosaga ones)
114) Coolest looking console: GameCube (PS5, Xbox, Wii, PS4, Genesis, PS2, N64, SNES)
115) Most photorealistic game of all time: Last of Us/II (Crysis, various Uncharteds, various games about photography, Myst, MGSV, that one Unreal Engine tech demo)

I like the game a good bit and would probably actually say NSMB (or something) if it counts but yeah, unsurprising.

Sunshine, even though I love it. Thanks online discourse!

Apparently, Super Mario Run counts as a mainline game, so that's my real answer.

Super Mario 3D World

Might be my actual opinion too, depending on what counts. It's a very well-made game but its gameplay style just doesn't appeal to me as much as the 2D games/collectathons/Galaxies.

First thought was Sunshine, although I do like it. Accurate answer is probably New Super Mario Bros (or at least one of them).

A platformer where you play as Mario.

My list as I see it-
Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario Land 1
Super Mario Land 2
Super Mario World
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario 3D World
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario 3D Land
New Super Mario Bros
New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros Wii
New Super Mario Bros U

Now this is where it gets tricky
Are Mario Maker 1 and 2 count too?
What about Super Mario Run? it IS a Platformer where you play as Mario
Also, Yoshi's Island is callled Super Mario World 2 - Does it count? (I think there was a poll about this a few years ago in this board..I don't remember the results)
