How is Mario milked?

Mario has a lot of games, but milked implies old and stale and Mario is really anything but that.

Zelda is the same way.  There may be a lot of Zelda games, but each one brings A LOT new or builds upon the previous game (Spirit Tracks) so that it still feels good. 

It's perfectly fine for a game to be a large franchise but just because there are a lot of them doesn't necessarily mean milked. 

Now Guitar Hero, that is a great example of milked to death.

main line, probably.

but mario and sonic and the olympics? mario party 8? thats the epytome of milking.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games -- true, but I also wouldn't call that a Mario game, more just a cash in.

Mario Party 8 -- Yeah, but again, not really what I would call a Mario game.  It's exploiting his name just like the above, but you can't say Mario games are milked because of those two.
