Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2 (the remake of Lost Levels), Super Mario bros. 3, Super Mario Land (GB) Super Mario Land 2 (GB), Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy

Not to mention all the other stuff with "Mario" in it. And I don't think the core gameplay has changed much between any of those games, other than the jump from 2D to 3D

I have to disagree with this.

Super Mario Galaxy is certainly a very different game than Super Mario 64. I go as far as to say that they only similarity between them is that they are both 3d platformers.

 Galaxy navigates totally different as the view is seen from above in contrast to Mario 64´s more traditional 3d view and the gravity effects in Galaxy feels like nothing else before it. Also the whole feel to the game is in my opinion different from any other Mario before it. While the core of the game feels more like how classic 2dMario should feel like in 3d (in my opinion) with linear structure compared to Mario 64´s more emphasis on exploring, Galaxy does have this melancolie feeling, the music is both epic and full of sadness sometimes. Sure there are happy, splashy levels but this epic feeling is like nothing I´ve ever witnessed before in any Mariogame and didn´t think possible.
