There has never been a bad mainline Mario platformer

SMB3 > SM64 > SMW > SMB2(J) > SMG2 > SMG > SMB > SMS > SM3DW
That's a really stupid excuse.
It's exactly because of their similarities to each other and how boring they are now that I think all the latest ones are bad. Well, I assume, since I stopped playing anything Mario related after galaxy.
There are now hundreds of thousands of children whose first Mario game was on the Wii, so even if the old neckbeards stop buying Nintendo shit, these kids replace them.
Because it's been more or less been the same game over and over again for the last 3 decades. Nostalgia, toddlers, autism, etc.
Strong core ideas drive the gameplay.
Lost levels kind of sucked.
Mario has the deepest lore.
