I have played every Mario RPG and been a fan of these games since I was four years old. In this video, I rank every Mario RPG from worst to best based entirely on my personal enjoyment, nostalgia, and how these games actually feel to play today. This includes every major Mario RPG series like Paper Mario, Mario and Luigi, Super Mario RPG, Mario plus Rabbids, and even some lesser talked about entries that often get left out of rankings.

From controversial picks like Paper Mario Sticker Star and Mario and Luigi Paper Jam, to fan favorites like The Thousand Year Door, Bowser’s Inside Story, and Superstar Saga, this video breaks down what works, what doesn’t, and why certain Mario RPGs stand the test of time while others fall short. I also talk about modern Mario RPGs like Origami King, Mario and Luigi Brothership, and the Mario plus Rabbids games, comparing them to the classic era to see how the series has changed over time.

This ranking is completely subjective and based on my own experience growing up with these games. If you disagree, that’s totally fine. Part of the fun of Mario RPG rankings is seeing how different everyone’s lists are. Let me know your own ranking in the comments and tell me which Mario RPG is your favorite.
