Shouldn't this be in the VS section?

Also, even though I loved Galaxy a lot, I have to go with 64, soo many great memories.

VS is characters vs characters as stated by Lana many times. This is a comparison of the three games thus this should be in the video game thread. Also remember to make clear which of the three has the best in the categories I made under the pictures.

Nope, this would go here, not in Vs.

Well, I've been in charge of the VG forums for 2 and a half years now and that's how it's been since I took over.

DarkC
1.) Best Mario
Super Mario 64.
2.) Best Bowser
Galaxy.
3.) Best Levels
Super Mario 64.

I've always dreamed of playing this game in the past, and there were two other levels that were not included in the game (a Western-themed level that included a moving train) and a jungle-themed level that you had to swim underneath the moat to get to.

4.) Best Bosses
Galaxy.
5.) Best Graphics (for their time)
Sunshine.
6.) Best Hub
For some strange reason....64.
7.) Best Music
64 blows this one out of the water...actually one song does and that's the Dire, Dire Docks level music (the "water" theme song).

Ironic. Also the boss world themes, and the last boss fight theme(the one reminiscient of something out of Dracula) were superb too.
8.) Best Peach
I'm tempted to say SSBM....but I'll go with Galaxy.

9.) FLUDD or Rosalina
FLUDD is far more fun to play around with, IMO.
10.) Power Stars or Shine Sprites
WTF is with those retarded looking Shines?

The mario games invented the power star, not the goddamn shine.

It ticks me off every time I see a stupid "SHINE GET!!!"
11.) Koopa the Quick, Il Piantissimo, or Spooky Speedster
For most annoying villian?

Proably Koopa on the Tiny Huge Island level.
12.) Best Box Art
GALAXY.
13.) Best Power-ups
The hover function in FLUDD. Does that count?
14.) Caps, Nozzles, or Mushrooms
Caps. I'm no hobbit.
15.) Toads, Piantas, or Lumas
Toads.

Seriously I like to stick with a classic.

SaTsuJiN
ick.. I seriously dont think sunshine belongs here.. the most disappointing mario game IMHO

Neo Darkhalen
Sunshine has nothing on 64 or Galaxy, it has not one thing better then them.

S_D_J
1.) Best Mario
Galaxy

2.) Best Bowser
Galaxy

3.) Best Levels
Galaxy, nothing beats crazy gravity

4.) Best Bosses
Galaxy

5.) Best Graphics (for their time)
Galaxy, Wii prettiest effort

6.) Best Hub
64

7.) Best Music
can't decide, I think both Galaxy/64

8.) Best Peach
NONE... but galaxy's looks better

9.) FLUDD or Rosalina
Rosalina, you can pretty much ignore her

10.) Power Stars or Shine Sprites
Stars

11.) Koopa the Quick, Il Piantissimo, or Spooky Speedster
Koopa confused

12.) Best Box Art
Galaxy (Sunshine's the ugliest)

13.) Best Power-ups
Red Star in Galaxy

14.) Caps, Nozzles, or Mushrooms
Mushrooms

15.) Toads, Piantas, or Lumas
I love Lumas, but Toads have been there always


... Can you tell how much I hate Sunshine?

Neo Darkhalen
Same here.

Not arguing that point, just mentioning that the evil pre-Lana reign was different.

King Bob omb.

Not sure on this one.

100 1UPs are fun though.
18.) Best Haunted Level
64 steals.
19.) Best Water Levels
64. Jolly Roger Bay and Dire Dire Docks (the former more so) are more entertaining, yet mroe simple. Oh, and they have wonderful music.

That would be a miscount on my behalf; forgot to count you.

I voted 64 and DarkC voted Galaxy and that's it for that one. Everyone else said none.

Ya Krunk'd Floo
I vote for Galaxy in most of those categories, but I was a bit let-down by the power-ups. The bee suit was stupid, the fire flower was rarely used (and it was set on a time-limit), the spring thing was annoying, and the red flying star and ice skating flower were both under-used. Those were the only bad things about Galaxy.

N64 Mario was cool too, though.

ragesRemorse
I doubt any Mario game will ever be as inventive and innovative as 64

Sunshine was the most fun MArio game i ever played though. It was just an all around great game.

Where did you vote for Sunshine? confused

Your faults not mine so don't get angry about it, the fact that you made a mistake constitutes your own failure then my simple question.

Actually the +100 1UPs was a reference to 64.
