Exactly. That's what you could call Super Mario Bros. and it doesn't bother me one bit, because it is the truth.

Son of a bitch! Are you telling me that your entire part in this discussion is existent only because you don't grasp the nuance of the OP's use of the term "REAL Mario game" in English?

I don't know. You will have to explain what exactly this thread is about, so I can see whether or not I grasped it.

This thread is about marginalizing the existence of and quality of Mario games that are not "REAL" Mario games; in this context, "REAL" is referring to a measure of legitimacy as much as adherence to core principles. Saying "that's not a REAL Mario game" is, in this context, also synonymous with reducing the game's worth.

(your own definition of "real" Mario games is problematic, but for a different reason, namely in that Super Mario Bros. is a spin-off of Mario Bros.)
