All 17 Super Mario Bros. games, ranked

Nintendo says that today is Mario Day (March 10 … MAR10 … get it?), so let’s celebrate it by listing the Italian plumber’s main adventures.

The Mario franchise is the best-selling in gaming history, with sales exceeding 500 million copies. Mario is global icon that has appeared on everything from shampoo bottles to his own (awful) movie. He has starred in a lot of games, but the main series of 2D and 3D platformers (games that focus on navigation of levels with by jumping and running) remain the most iconic. Of course, before we get ranking from worst to best, we have to decide what even counts as a “main series” game anymore. Do portables count? What about remakes?
