Usually games use C++, C#, or Java. Other languages include: objective C (iOS), actioc script (flash)b etc. But the most used language is C++.

I think C++ is best for writing games, it is fast, reliable and well known language. Using python makes it slow. It would also lag (in case of games that need very fast response) somewhat in case of Java. Yes, C# is also a good choice, it is easier than C++ and faster than Java.

If by 'like mario' you mean 2d games, than you can make them with any language, and you don't even need an engine for that. To choose the language: Pick a platform you want to target (Windows, Linux, OSX, Android, iOS, web, etc). Then pick a language you like, that is supported by the target platform. Pick a graphics library for that language and platform (you don't need a graphics library for web). Or you may go with an engine: https://www.google.com.ua/search?q=2d+game+engine&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=C4baWcreD6ad6ATMu6OgAg In this case, the language would be determined by the engine of your choice (if it does require programming). For 3d games it's much more complicated.

Depends on what you are doing, if you are using a already made engine then the most used script programming languages are Lua, python, Java scripting, c#, if in the other end you want to do everything yourself including the engine, then the most used languages are, from most popular to less popular, c++, c, python and perhaps in the future Go, Rust and Jai.
