NSMBW

 

[schmutz]

Definitely Super Mario World. :D

 

[Dark Light]

I can't decide; it's either Super Mario Bros. 2 or New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Whats mainstream?

 

[Weasel]

@ DKPetey99: See those games listed up there in the poll? Those. Basically anything that's not an RPG, Kart, or sport spinoff.

 

[DKPetey99]

In that case, Super Mario Bros. 3! Very challenging, but enjoyable.

 

[Propeller Toad]

Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Sunshine, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii were my favourites.

 

[Paper Yoshi]

Definitely Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Super Mario World.

 

[Leonyx]

I'd have to pick Super Mario 64, because it means so much to me.

 

[Fawfulfury65]

Sunshine

 

[PokemonMaster]

NSMBW. Harder then the first and also had multi-player.

 

[Dark Light]

I'll pick New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Still, I'm very fond of Super Mario Bros. 2

 

[Yoshiwaker]

I'm the only one who picked SMG

 

[PokemonMaster]

I'm the only one who picked SMG

Galaxy was good and if this was 4th place it would make sense.

 

[Fawfulfury65]

Of course I'm the only one that voted SMS

 

[yoshidude99]

SMG2. I also like SMG and SMS too.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Luigi's Mansion (It's not an RPG, sport, or spin-off)

One could argue that it is a spin-off. But I guess you could call it a mainstream game.

 

[Gumball Machine]

Well, personally, I think it qualifies as mainstream not spin-off since it actually has a plot and its single player whereas most spin-offs are multiplayer like Mario Party. Not trying to start an argument, just trying to give my two cents.

Oh, I understand. For a Mario game, it's not like traditional spin-offs. But I believe a spin-off is defined as a game that is based off of characters from a series but does not start the main characters. You could say that the game does actually have a main character staring in it, so it can be considered a main game, I guess.

I'm not trying to start an argument either. I just like to think about these things. Sorry if you felt threatened.

Nah, its all right. I can see why you would see it as a spin-off. Since Luigi is the one being controlled by the player whereas Mario's appearances are minimal. Although Luigi himself is a main character in the Mario franchise, so that's why I consider Luigi's Mansion mainstream. Maybe it can be classified as both mainstream and spin-off.
