The majority of ''Mario'' games fall within the platformer genre, which itself can be divided into two sub-genres: sidescrolling and three-dimensional. '''Sidescrollers''' usually allow travel in only one or two directions towards a [[Goal Pole]]. '''Three-dimensional''' (or '''3D''') platformers allow travel in any direction and usually consist of objective-based level completion. Classification is based upon movement style, so games like ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' with modern three-dimensional graphics are still classified as sidescrollers. | The majority of ''Mario'' games fall within the platformer genre, which itself can be divided into two sub-genres: sidescrolling and three-dimensional.
