Because there would be too many Zelda in the Top 10. (It was no.2 before)
I'm not upset at this list or anything, and 100 is a big number to overanalyse anything, but I'm genuinely surprised that there's an outlet that rates SMW that highly. It's not even in my top 5 of 2D Mario.
But ok at least the top 10 is 50% Nintendo, so not a bad effort.

The vast majority of SMM1 levels were in SMB1 or NSMBU style. NSMBU was the most popular style in the original game. In SMM2 there hasn't been an analysis done yet to see what the most popular style is.
Dunno where you're getting your proof from but in a game with 5 million levels uploaded anecdotal evidence doesnt count.
Genuinely stunned at the lack of a single Sega game here. There are several worthy of this list. This list is missing a massive chunk of video game history and greatness.
Most of these lists tend to be written by massive SNES fans and it shows but damn this is the most biased one I've ever read. Also SMW is nowhere near the best Mario game, let alone best of all time.

I said "I greatly prefer SMW over 3, its why the vast majority of MM levels I've made..." I don't know how you interpreted that as speaking for some larger set of MM data.
They do that on purpose. This is pure clickbait. If the list was good, no one would be linking it saying how bad it is.

Every game on this list is really good and many were extremely influential. Don't get people saying it's terrible. There are probably enough games from the last 5 year to make a top 100 games of all time list that would have nothing but pure quality experiences. It's inpossible to make a top 100 that most people would agree with.
Some of those older games have aged really well too like Yoshi's Island.

Multiple reviewers who don't like rpgs ended up liking P5.
It's a different breed from the previous titles.
IGN really like makes super safe lists and their top 10 is always rooted in a little nostalgia. That's like a top 10 for people who have only played safe blockbusters
Ocarina in 25 explains how I feel about modern game design and how critical acclaimed game these days don't click that much with me(usually my sweet spot is a 75 ~90 meta). I'm glad indies exist to save the day.
About ALTTP, I always liked it but nothing more than just a good game. I think about replaying it but when I remember about the boring dungeons I always step back.
And about Mario 64, in the video they said that they were talking about favorite game and not influential games. I'd change it's position with Mario Galaxy 2 anytime of the day.
EDIT: Saw top 100 right now and no Mario Galaxy at all. Ok IGN, I'm done.

Well for starters smw actually...
*Gasp*
Gave the player the ability to look ahead in multiple directions in a platformer.
Yeah, true. The highlighted part is why I don't really pay them much attention as they're too predictable.
I was completely jaded on video games as a 31 year old when I bought BOTW. It was more "going through the motions" and a last hurrah as I planned to put my Wii U and gaming itself to rest after beating the game. I'm going to sound cliche or corny as hell, but I'm also being honest too. That said, BOTW single-handedly rejuvenated my love for gaming. My experience with that game single-handedly brought the gaming joy back into my heart that I once had as a kid. For me, it's my #1 and it deserves every accolade it's given.

And I think it's just about the worst SMB game.
These lists are going to inherently be boring for me because my tastes don't align with them.
I guess im the only one with " weird" taste in games. I don't like any japanese or anime games too..
I think its stupid to have definite 100 top games beacuse the list is subjective to each person. For me its:
1. Battlefield 2
2. Last of Us
3. GTA San Andreas
4.Red Dead Redemption
5. GTA 4
6.Civilization 3

Yeah after I said that, I remembered how boss the grandmaster series are and was like eh nevermind
I still think the Super Mario World meme needs to end though

At this point, gaming history is so massive itself that there should be a pre-2000s and a post-2000s Top 100 list. There's simply way too many games on this list simply because of their legacy. Breath of the Wild is a better game in literally every category than A Link To The Past but ALttP gets a passed because of its place in gaming history.
These Top [insert number] Games threads are always a lot of fun. A lot of folk upset that a game ranked too low or too high or that its overrated or whatever. I mean, if kids were saying this stuff, I wouldn't think much of it but adults getting weirdly butthurt is rather amusing
It's certainly a very uncommon opinion. I'd rank it above the likes of SMB 1 and SMB 2 at least and even SMB 3 but that's debatable amongst fans
No Duke 3D, no Quake, not a single Remedy game, no Mortal kombat game, no Legacy of Kain, I could go on lol but you know opinions and such
