18. Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
Mario's handheld console debut proved that you could have a home console quality experience in the palm of your hand. Sticking closely to the play style of the original super Mario Bros, scrolling happens going right not left, and Mario can still pick up a fire flower as his power up. The low rank feels wrong for such a good game, but its just a sign of the tough competition.
17. Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels (NES)
Known in Japan as Super Mario Bros 2, it wasnt released in the west as it was deemed too hard and too similar to the first game. If you loved the original Super Mario Bros then this was the game for you. If you weren't a mega fan of the original then maybe this wasn't the game for you, as this game basically started off where the first game ended in terms of difficulty. It also was where Mario and Luigi became more than just palette swaps with slightly different abilities.
