There is an exact definition of Casual Games. It is the genre that includes brain teaser games and games created for short play sessions.
The origin of the term came with Namco's marketing for Pacman. The genre also includes games like Minesweeper, MS Solitaire, Frogger, and Freecell. Nintendo re-iterated the genre name to include its Brain Age series; and the industry uses it to define games like Farmville or Angry Birds.
If you are listing games like Super Mario bros. or Mario Kart, you are wrong on the factual level. The genre Mario Kart belongs to is racing. Super Mario games are platformers.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
