Super Mario 32 consists of one poll of 32 games. Note that this obviously doesn’t include all of Mario’s appearances—Donkey Kong, for example, is excluded because it’s not part of a Mario-branded series, even though he’s a main character. It also doesn’t include spin-offs like Dr. Luigi or Captain Toad. Finally, we’ve tried to limit redundant ports and remakes, but nobody’s perfect. Just have fun.

• You can vote for up to sixteen (16) games.
• The top 16 games will face off in one-on-one elimination brackets.
• You can’t change your votes once they’ve been submitted, so click carefully. Voting closes on Saturday at 11:59 P.M. ADT.

This one was tougher than the Final Fantasy bracket because I haven't spent as much time thinking about Mario games. Mostly threw in for the 2D Mario games, plus the best 3D entry (Galaxy), and a couple of notable off-genre stand-outs (Dr., Paint, Kart).

This one was mostly trimming the fat for me as well. Only notable cuts I had to make were the first two Smash Bros games.
