As someone who has watched @janmisali's "how many Super Mario games are there" video several times and is eagerly awaiting the sequel (don't worry, I filled out the new survey already), I noticed something interesting in the beginning of GMTK's newest video. During the intro, he says he's played "... every single mainline entry in the Super Mario Brothers series". Naturally, my first reaction was to figure out what exact list of games that is. During this scene (mostly as a gag), he's set up a stack of games on the side. From bottom to top, they are:

Super Mario 3D World New Super Mario Bros U Super Mario Galaxy 2 New Super Mario Bros Wii Super Mario Sunshine Super Mario Galaxy New Super Mario Bros New Super Mario Bros 2 Super Mario 3D Land Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Super Mario 3D All-Stars Super Mario Maker 2 Super Mario Odyssey Super Mario Maker Super Mario Bros Super Mario 64 Super Mario Bros 2 (aka "USA") Super Mario Bros 3 Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins 2 Unidentifiable SNES/Super Famicom cartriges Super Mario Land

This is mostly similar to the "popular" 18-game list in the jan Misali video, with a couple differences. GMTK does include all 3 Maker games, which is completely fine since it's consistent.

While making this list I learned that the European SNES used the same design as the Super Famicom. I think this makes it likely that one of the unidentified carts is The Lost Levels, which would make the list otherwise match Misali's. I think the best candidate for the other cart is Yoshi's Island. Both of those appear in the video footage, but I don't know how to confirm either guess.

If someone has Mark Brown's contact and wants to waste his time asking for his justification on the enumeration and classification of the mainline series of games within the Mario franchise, let me know.

He also includes the following games in the video as footage, although seeing as the video also includes a lot of non-Mario games this probably means nothing for GMTK's opinion on what games are part of the mainline series:

Super Mario Bros Wonder Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Super Mario Bros Deluxe Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels New Super Luigi U New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe Super Mario Run

I PARTICIPATED IN A GAME JAM!

Specifically GMTK's Game Jam!

First time ever finishing a game, even if it was short, so check it out if you feel so inclined!

It's a short, one level platformer inspired by the idea of playing the first level in a game over and over to get a better time!

Personal Best by MaxMMPow

A one level platformer where your only opponent is your desire to get better

I made a game! for this year's GMTK game jam

Loop Game by SaKo

Collect the gems, avoid the bombs, and make loops

GMTK Jam 2025, Day 1

The theme is Loop so I'm making a game I call Firedance. The premise is that monsters are coming out of the ground. You control the Firedancer, who leaves a magical trail of flames behind her that can banish the monsters back to where they came from. But be careful to connect the loop end-to-end, or you will hurt yourself on your own flames. Today I made all of the art, as you can see here.

Tomorrow I'm gonna program player movement and make the trail of fire. I already have an idea so I bet I'll have time to make the loop, but that main mechanic will be deceptively tricky.
