If the 3D games and US SMB2 count as part of the main series then the New and Land subseries absolutely count.

I count every New game, they are new entries in the Super Mario Bros. series (duh).

Super Mario Land it's main, if New 2 is, why not this one?

Super Mario World 2 is a Yoshi's Island game. (Super duh)

New Super Luigi U is a DLC.

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Well they all feature "Super" Mario so I would assume it would be apart of the Super Mario series. That being said I honestly wouldn't count SMW2: Yoshi's Island or NSLU because they both feature different protagonists and also NSLU is really just dlc for NSMBU.

They're called "New Super Mario Bros" which means they have been designed to be a mere throwback to the originals. An expanded remaster if you will. That's also why the New 3DS isn't considered 9th gen.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Yes, why they wouldn't be part of the main series?

Yeah I'd say they are, and the GameBoy's Super Mario Land series as well, until it turns into Warioland. Like Yoshi's Island, I'd those don't count anymore.
