Ive been looking forward to mario galaxy for what seems like ages now but recently ive been wondering are mario games inherently overrated?

Thinking of Mario Galaxy for instance, it wouldnt have had nowhere near the same level of hype if it where the same game with a completely different character and im betting maybe a slightly less score as well.

Would People have given super mario kart a second look without Mario? Super mario world? Mario 64 even?

Plz ppl dont accuse me of trolling or being a fanboy cuz I LOVE Mario. Just look at my sig. Im wii60 if anything.

a few months ago the only games with Mario in i had played were Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart:DD....i had played a number of platformers before (namely a Jak and Daxter[though not for very long] game, a ratchet game and *spit* a Spyro game) but none had interested me in any way, but after seeing some of the videos and hearing how it worked i was becoming interested in this game.

after seeing/reading more about the game and also downloading SM64 i am really looking forward to it, Mario as a character hadn't even come into it for me before downloading SM64, yet i was still very compelled to get it...and after SM64 this became my No1 anticipated game even though i have little history with Mario platformers

Mario isn't that much of a factor for my 100% definate purchase of Super Mario Galaxy.
