Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

Goombas are some of the most important characters in the franchise and their importance goes unrecognized in my opinion.
 
Without Goombas, the original Super Mario Bros. game would have been seen as good but too hard, possibly not releasing it in the west. Mario would not have gotten as popular, or worse case scenario, it stays a one-off Japan only NES title like Mysterious Murasame Castle. NES's hottest selling game would have been Duck Hunt. Perhaps Nintendo would continue the Duck Hunt series for their later consoles. Nintendo's mascot would have most likely ended up being either Link or Donkey Kong, or maybe both.
 
Going back to my opinion on those human characters who only appeared in the Mario Golf and Tennis series, I just realised that the one I do like is Plum. I mean what's not to love about that laugh she makes at the end of the intro to Mario Golf 64?
 
It has the best Battle Mode.

But seriously, every Mario Kart has single-player issues that only Battle Mode kinda fixes, and they botched it in Mario Kart 8.
 
I'm revisiting my old opinion on Rosalina. As of late, she is very slowly growing on me. Must be because of how nicely detailed, shiny and smooth her Amiibo is.

And as you can tell by my avatar, for the last month or so, I've been having this crazy obsession with Daisy.

That's...not an unpopular opinion
 
The only thing I believe Mario Superstar Baseball has over Mario Super Sluggers is a catchier menu theme song.

I also miss the times like in Mario Kart Double Dash, when there were 8 lightweights and 5 heavyweights.
