I gotta go with the the platforming days. Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 top my list. Nothing beats raccoon, frog, and caped Mario. Of the rpgs though I go with the SNES's MArio RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. However every Mario game is worthy of praise.
The originals are always fun to play, so those are favorites. Also, Mario 64 was pretty fun; other than that they haven't made a new Mario game that I have enjoyed in quite a while.
New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario 3, Kart series, Tennis, Soccer, & Baseball (especially Tennis), Luigi's mansion-does this count, I love Luigi-and all Mario RPG's, especially Superstar Saga, Mario RPG Secret Of The Seven Stars, & Thousand Year Door.
Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World. Those will always be the best ones to me. Those were the games that actually TOOK classic Mario and inproved it without trying to completely change the mechanics around or create a hack of another game.
I love Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, then Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Paper Mario, Super Mario World, and Mario Party 5. At least, I think 5. Can't remember exactly.
For me, it would be a tie between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Super Mario 64 taught me the joys of flight, and Super Mario RPG was technically my first RPG. Unless you count playing 5 minutes of Chrono Trigger and FF6. Then Mario RPG would be the first RPG I actually owned. >.>
