I don't think you can really compare these games as they are just so different. First of all, Mario was made during a whole other era in the gaming industry, in addition to that it was made for a whole different platform and it was made by Nintendo, the  one of the biggest gaming companies in the world, against Lima Sky, some independent game company.
And let's not forget the fact that both games are entirely different, with entirely different game-play, goals and styles.

If you really need to have a choice, it'd be Mario as it actually contains a lot of story line, but it'd mostly be the nostalgia that would make it better in my opinion.

Nonetheless, I don't think these games are comparable and it seems rather silly to ask a question like that, it's like asking what I like better, reading a magazine or watching the news.

Mario for me.
@Lympha Why can't I compare them? They might be different, yes, but it's not hard for anyone to say what's the better game, regardless of the era/mechanics/company of them. The question could have two completely different things like, say, Die Hard 4 and The Old Man and The Sea, and I could tell what is the better thing out of the two.
(It's Die Hard 4 since it didn't had pages of softball related dialog.)

Dude, Doodle Jump is fun, but it just doesn't have the gameplay depth of Mario. Which, I'll admit, isn't very deep at all, but Doodle Jump is ultimately pretty one-note - it's just a score attack game, from what I've seen.

A generation and genre defining game vs a somewhat popular mobile game.

Yea, I'll take Mario.

I'm not claiming that Mario has the greatest storyline ever, but there's certainly a great amount of storyline going on in the Mario franchise and I'm rather disappointed that you didn't take the time to give arguments or explanation your disagreement. I've been a loyal Mario lover since I was a toddler and the game's storyline has always intrigued me, no matter how cheesy or cliché it might be.

Mario for me.

I just don't think you can compare two games that just vary so much from each other. It's comparing apples to oranges. One is just really fresh and has a nice bite, while the other is really juicy and much sweeter. I hope you're getting what I am trying to say. I just don't think you can compare things so different to each other.

Mario's storyline almost always consists of Bowser stealing Peach and Mario having to save her. That's probably the most basic you can get. I don't know how you'd come to the conclusion that there's a great amount of storyline in the series.

Also, could you please stop typing in bold? I get eyestrain trying to read your posts, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Thanks!

Perhaps it's the blandness of the story that makes it so attractive to play. Obviously the Mario games are more about game-play, but it would obviously not be even half as good as it is now without the plot. You should base your opinion wider than the classic games and more on the newer. Back then, it was kinda hard to have a whole story going on with their technological knowledge, but these days the Mario games have good stories. Take Super Mario Galaxy for example. Perhaps I'm just odd, but I got sucked in right away. Perhaps I just vary opinion from you guys, but I don't think you can bash a great franchise like that, just because the plot is mostly the same. After all, I would probably not be eager to buy a game without Peach getting kidnapped as it just takes away a great part of Mario.

On the bold font part, if more people complain (which I would prefer through PM), I might change it. BUt I don't really see the problem of a bold font, right now.

Lympha, I hope you won't be offended if I mention that it is difficult to read your messages because the whole text is in bold.


Is there any chance that you could stop doing that?

Mario, without a doubt. Not sure how you came up with this comparison.
