Sure it is. 

Mario has progressed in 25 years.  What I have mentioned is the stagnation of the series since the original 3D Mario hit the scene.   I showed several other series which have in most cases really changed a lot in 13-14 years.  


How has Mario not changed as much as Gran Turismo?

In terms of pure appearance...It's not even close.  Gran Turismo has changed 10 fold while Mario 64 / Mario Galaxy is very comparable. 

In terms of gameplay, Gran Turismo hasn't changed much in terms of 'controls' I would say but much of that is primarily due to the nature of game it is.  A racing sim isn't going to suddenly add 15 different controls.   But the physics and all of the other components contained within a Gran Turismo as well as the little fine details all add up and maybe aren't inherently noticeable by the average player but all work towards a more realistic result.

I mean honestly, what has been added to Mario 64.  That is game breaking?  I know gravity,but many games use some form of gravity nowadays.
