There's like 4 types of Mario out there now.

2D Mario - Ex. New Super Mario Bros.
3D Mario - Ex. Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Sports - Ex. Mario Tennis
RPG Mario - Ex. Paper Mario

Just leave it the way it is imo.

You missed a few.

Mario Kart (obvious - you can't really consider Mario Kart to be a Mario Sports title)

Mario Party (obvious)

Puzzle Mario - think Mario vs Donkey Kong, Dr Mario, and Mario's Picross

Needs more genres! :)
