I love all these Mario games for the NES. Mario 2, 3, are my favorites with Super Mario World following closely behind. There are lots of great characters in these games and many skillfull moves. These games can be exasperating at times, but playing them regularly really helps "defeat" the bad guys.
My absolute favorite Mario character is "Princess Peach" or "Princess Toadstool". One of my favorite Mario characters, besides Mario & Luigi of course, is that baddy "FryGuy"!
Anyone else have a favorite Mario game or character?
