Most Underhated Mario Games

The Top Ten
1 Mario Kart 8

No, it has flaws, but at least the game is playable

2 Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash

How is this underhated though? Almost everyone hates this game

3 Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games

This game sucks, people only like it because rosalina is in it, I don't hate rosalina as much as before, but still, people only like this because rosalina is in it

4 Mario Party 10

Pretty much any mario party game can be in the top 5

More like underrated, or overhated

5 Paper Mario: Color Splash

Sticker Star tends to be one of the most hated Mario games in general, and rightfully so. While Color Splash is a marginal improvement, it barely addresses any of the flaws of Sticker Star and repeats many of the same mistakes. The vast majority of NPCs are forgettable toads, unlike the diverse cast from PM64 and TTYD. The card/sticker based combat system makes combat unrewarding, as there's no leveling incentive, effectively rewarding players for skipping most fights. The story is bland and Huey is just forgettable, which is not good since he is the only companion yet again. While Sticker Star has more convoluted puzzles and limitations of the 3DS, Color Splash isn't much better.

I already hated sticker star, but this crap ain't any better 2/10

6 Super Mario Galaxy 2

Literally not, I'd say it's one of the BEST of all time

7 Mario Kart: Super Circuit

*underrated, at least that's what I think

8 Mario Sports Mix
9 Super Mario Run

This game is just an even worse version of New Super Mario Bros.

10 Mario Superstar Baseball
The Contenders
11 Super Mario 3D Land
12 Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games 2008
13 Mario Party: Star Rush

No, I think OVERhated and underRATED suits it better

14 Super Mario Advance
15 Mario Teaches Typing 2

Honestly, this game is mainly good for the laughable cutscenes and nostalgia factor.

16 Mario and Sonic at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games 2014 (Wii U)
17 Mario Tennis Open
18 Mario Party 9

Mario Party 10 often gets the most hate for being the worst in the mainline series, though 9 doesn't usually get mentioned enough for breaking the traditional formula and replacing it with the cart gameplay both 9 and 10 are known for. I can give this game credit for having substantially better graphics than Mario Party 8, and if not for the 480p resolution, it could pass off as a Wii U game. But apart from that, 9 was absolutely a step backwards for the series, and the more commonly hated 10 wouldn't exist without it. Apart from setting a poor precedent, this game isn't that memorable either, and suffers from many of the same flaws as 10.

19 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

No, this game deserves the praise

20 Mario Kart8 Deluxe
21 Super Mario Odyssey
