    Cape Mario is considered a "costume change", yet Wing Mario, Vanish Mario, and Hatless Mario are not? WTF! XD
    ...and what about "Baby Mario" in his diaper?

    Hatless Mario = win!

    I'm liking the look of Bumblebee Mario. Very cute ^^

      Well the source says these are some of Mario's costumes. I don't think the original article author ever claims only those 8 exist. He's just highlighting those 8 costumes.

      quote
      Here's a brief glimpse of some of Mario's varied wardrobe.
      And you can't really consider Baby Mario a costume. It's still Mario in the usual costume in a different period of life. Baby Mario is often considered separate from Mario thse days anyway, especially in the sports titles.

        Oh, oops. I assumed that the article meant it was all of Mario's costumes.

        Even though Baby Mario isn't neccessarily canon, I'd consider his outfit a different costume, especially if costumes like "Cape Mario" and "Eco Mario" are considered as complete costume changes.

    When I use to play on Mario games I always found the Frog costume to be the funniest as you (If I remember rightly) are limited to do absolutely nothing other then jump and move. God I must have laughed first time I ever sore that.

      Movement itself was pretty limited to hopping on land. It wasn't really designed for land though, since it's speciality allowed for faster, more controled movement in water. Well, if Frog Mario grabbed an item he could actually run. ^^

    Wow this brings back memories. Mario's squirrel-like outfit in Super Mario 3 was funny, but I always liked when he had his cape, floating around like that. His fire flower outfit...one of the very original ones, is always fun to use, too.

    Metal Mario for the win. There sure was a nice set of costumes in the past for Mario, but Metal or Fire Mario has to be my favourite. The Bumble Bee Mario sounds quite interesting, hopefully used quite a bit in Galaxy.

    The Tanuki Mario is the best costume I think. I also think Dr. Mario is quite ammusing. Metal Mario looks rubbish. >>;

    The bee costume looks stupid IMO, but the ghost one looks interesting.

    I love all of the costumes, especially the Bumble Bee one. It's different and adorable. My favorite is Frog Mario though. It's super cute. ^__^

    The tanooki suit is the best costume that Mario has ever had imo. Next would be Metal Mario.

    Frog Mario is the best by far in my opinion, but its a shame that they didn't include more of his costumes. I know for a fact that he was more than 8 ^^
