Rol I can't accept the point about Mario Bros. at face value, because it implies that if they made sequels then that would become the main series.

Not quite. It would only truly become the main series if the lore established in Mario Bros. then would go on to be the feeding ground for all or at least the majority of spinoffs. 

Pyro doesn't make a bad point. All that Mario Bros. ever was got later on absorbed by Super Mario Bros. as nothing more than a minigame or different game mode.

....The... lore. I have to admit that part of your argument is the one I assumed you were joking about, but all right.

So let's suppose that Mario Bros.'s setting and characters and elements were propagated throughout the rest of the series, becoming a feeding ground for all or at least the majority of spinoffs (though, uh, this is actually already the case). This would make it the main series?
