I think SSBB's Mario should have won. SMB3's sprite doesn't really have anything going for it. I think you guys are being optimistic because it was a great game. "defined facial features"? There's nothing defined about them. He also looks nothing like a "cartoon". On the other hand, Brawl's Mario is defined, with lighting and...and... well, LOOK AT THOSE OVERALLS!!!

God i hate the SSBB Mario. He looks way to angry and his russian moustache doesnt cover his mouth enough.

I'd pick Super Mario World. The game's the most iconic of the series and he's the funnest character i've ever played in a videogame.

I have to say the brawl and galaxy versions are the best with the super mario world one as a runner-up.

Why is there so much hate for Super Mario Sunshine? I love that game.

Super Mario RPG is the best of all time to me. I dont know why, but he just has the most personality even though he never said anything in the game.

I think my favorite mario is fairly obvious...

The first thing that came to my mind was Paper Mario and Galaxy, those two are my favorite, and it looks like I was right about them being the best! ^^

I was under the impression that it wasn't raccoon ears and tail. It was in fact a Tanuki ears and tail. This would obviously translated to raccoon because many Americans (for it was translated for an American audience) wouldn't know what a Tanuki is (obviously spell check doesn't either).
Although, this being Games Radar, you're all highly sophisticated gamers well versed in Japanese mythology, I still feel I should explain what a Tanuki is. For those that don't know a Tanuki is a small Japanese animal that lives in the woods. It is similar in appearance to a raccoon. But unlike the American raccoon the Tanuki exists in Japanese mythology to have large genitalia.

The second most pompous comment I have posted on anything ever.
