Mars's orbit is more elliptical than all the eight major planets except Mercury. This enabled Kepler to discover that the orbit was elliptical and not as previously thought a circle with the Sun offset from the centre (represented by a circle and an epicycle with the centre of the epicycle travelling round the circle, and the planet positioned on the epicycle).
