Mario games are the litterary equivlent to something like Beowulf.

Now that's just mean. What did Mario ever do to you!?

Haha, I mean in that it's a classic story told in a classic way.  Which has a LOT of artistic meaning.  Some of the greatest literary and cinematic masterpieaces are just classics told in a classic way.

Additionally, looking at "story" as the only artistic element of gaming is highly flawed. 

Things like Level Design are just as artistically relvenet.  When you focus on the story... in a way you are ignoring an entire world that has been created by the developers.
