Shockingly enough, such a huge title did not manage to make the cut for the Top 5 Best Video Games of All Time. Super Smash Bros Ultimate managed to secure the 7th spot on the list. However, this title is not explicitly a Mario title and is a crossover title. Super Mario Bros. 3 is the only standalone Mario title which featured in the Top 10. It has secured the 10th position on the list.

Players will be surprised to know that the list is not dominated by Japanese games. Minecraft featured at the 20th spot on the list. Furthermore, Apex Legends secured the 30th spot on the list. Japan is interestingly one of the game’s largest markets. However, it is important to know that the list does not objectively reflect the ‘best’ games of all time. This can be attributed primarily because the poll is based only on a Japanese audience.
