this video be sure to subscribe to catch
our latest show the bolt III or gamers
take an epic road trip from San Fran to
LA gaming all the way watch the whole
series now on WatchMojo for this list
we’ll be looking at the games in the
Mario franchise outside of the primary
2d and 3d platformer genre he is best
known for well also only me including
one entry per sub series otherwise this
list would be nothing but Mario Kart
with little Smash Brothers sprinkled
rant number 10 dr. Mario humble games
blew up in the late 80s and early 90s
and Maya was one of the many to pimp
jump on the bandwagon you get it could
you jump anyway whatever dr. Mario
distinguishes itself from the pack
though by featuring preset belongs in
the form of viruses that beat Hitler
position must destroy using killed of
the corresponding color with its
combination of challenging puzzle game
plank the option to play against an
opponent and a feverishly addictive
theme song dr. Mario is an early Mario
spin-off said we’d still prescribe to
any video game fan number nine captain
toad treasure tracker speaking of a
publication the Wii U saw an interesting
take on the genre with this spin-off
starring an adventurous member of the
Mushroom Kingdom
captain toad based on bonus levels from
Super Mario 3d World treasure tracker
has the player control the little
captain and he navigates 3d levels solve
puzzles and recovers treasures in the
form of stars
unlike most Mario games though captain
toad doesn’t do a lot of jumping and
instead relying on throwing objects
kinda like in Mario 2 all in all this is
a pretty good expansion on a diverting
part of the main Mario series that
highlights the thoroughly underrated
toads in a colorful and charming package
[Music]
laughs no Breet mario tennis hey despite
the fact if there was already a game of
the same name for the virtual void the
n64 version is what springs to mind for
most gamers whatever they hear Mario
Tennis while there had been Mario sports
games before Mario Tennis to suit itself
with funds pick up and play controls
simple to learn but hard to master game
play and also by expanding the roster of
supporting characters available
including the introduction of the
bizarre cult favorite why Luigi although
later mario tennis games added and
improved upon the formula ultimately we
drew more enjoyment and appreciation
from the one that laid the series
foundation number seven Super Mario
Strikers why are you is quite the most
eSports athlete Super Mario Strikers
known as Mario smash football outside
North America features the plumber along
with his friends and foes engaging
simplified football matches everything
from the time limits to the lack of
styles creates a very streamlined soccer
experience in addition the inclusion of
items and special finishing strengths
unique to each character makes Super
Mario Strikers a flashy and entertaining
time Mario sports games all at a
Mushroom Kingdom player to their
respective sports and Super Mario
Strikers
does that better than most
number six Luigi’s Mansion dark moved
[Music]
[Applause]
although the original Luigi’s Mansion
was a stellar launch title for the
Gamecube full of spooky fun gameplay its
sequel for the 3ds took everything great
about its predecessor and improved upon
us like the original tomorrow’s cowardly
brother is tasked with ghost busting a
haunted mansion but dark moon increase
the variety of ghosts to encounter added
multiple mentions to explore and fix
some issues with the interface like
adding the ability to jump while
up ghosts we’re happy to let Mario hog
the spotlight so long as Luigi keeps
getting games of this calibers to call
his own hey number 5 Paper Mario the
thousand-year door while we’re on the
subject of excellence equals the second
installment of the Paper Mario series is
also a superb follow-up to our favorite
of the lot the thousand-year door got
the typical upgrades you’d expect with
the jump to a new system like graphical
quality but where the game really shines
is in the gameplay and story element
with everything from a battle system to
the story structure taking inspiration
from a stage play add in plenty of new
partner characters to series to
signature humor and more paper
transformation and the stage was set for
one of the best Mario RPGs around number
four Mario Party 2 let’s keep this
sequel train running with this second
outing from the long-running Mario Party
series later entries tend to get bogged
down by clunky gimmicks but Mario Party
– kept everything that was great about
the original premise and rolled the dice
on some new features like item shops and
speed towards while the reliance on luck
over skill to win remains a sticking
point for some it does make the game
feel a lot more like an actual board
game just remember that the anger and
frustration you feel because your friend
stole away your only star is supposed to
be part of the fun
deep breaths
[Music]
number three Super Mario RPGs legend of
the seven stars
Mario’s first RPG is still one of his
best in our opinions the games did a lot
for both the RPGs have followed it such
as the timed hit battle systems as well
as the franchise as a whole by expanding
and fleshing out the characters
personalities particularly peach and
Bowser combine that with fantastic
original characters that haven’t been
seen since
get on that Nintendo great humor and a
unique visual aesthetic plus one of the
best soundtracks to gaming Mario game
and you’ve got a legendary adventure
[Music]
number two Super Smash Brothers for
Nintendo 3ds and WiiU
[Music]
some might question whether a Smash
Brothers game qualifies as a Mario
spin-off but the fact that Nintendo may
man is in the game makes it eligible in
RO the fourth entry in this franchise
stands out in a series known for its
quality to the player roster more mode
customization features tight control and
increased online features including
downloadable contents of course smash
bores availability on both home and
handheld consoles is also a major plus
overall it’s the best smash title yet
and nearly the best Mario spin-off out
there
[Music]
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions number one Mario
Kart 8 deluxe
[Music]
the Mario Kart series has featured some
truly stellar games from its first 3d
game on the n64 to the innovative GS
title – it’s gorgeous Wii U entry
however ultimately we had to go with the
latest entry in the franchise Mario Kart
8 deluxe for the Nintendo switch
although the game has not been out too
long it has distinguished itself by
incorporating all of the elements that
made prior titles great type controls
increased customization all of the
traxxas that we knew versions including
those originally locks behind GLC as
well as a completely revamped battle
mode a deluxe is probably the very best
Mario Kart experience and in our opinion
the very best Mario spin-off game yet
[Applause]
[Music]

to check out the bolt to e3 a brand new
series from WatchMojo where for gamers
