This is simply untrue. Well, Smash comes closer. Brawl tends to lurch more fanservicey with all the extra content, but the underlying games are fairly similar. Melee's tighter though, a lot of the more advanced priorities were nerfed in Brawl. This is probably why Brawl's never really taken off as a tournament game, while Melee did.
On the other hand, Mario Kart Wii is almost nothing like Double Dash. It's really centered around online play and challenges, bikes bring in huge new set of dynamics, item system was tweaked for accessibility, boost mechanic was tweaked to kill snaking, they dropped DD's co-op component all together... even the course design is tighter and less "gimmicky" than DD. Hell, if anything it's more like MKDS in terms of design sensibilities, only better looking and deeper.
Still though, if you really think these games are just carbon copy updates, then you really haven't invested more than a superficial amount of time in them. And in Mario Kart's case, even that's likely giving you too much credit, the differences are fairly significant and immediate.
