Why do people hate on Mario?

because it is too much. you said there is also wario and so on but you simply see they are all from the same "world". wario or luigi aren't mario but they cleary have the same art style.

i love halo and the master chief but i would hate to get a racing game with master chief, a jump&run with a grunt and tennis game with cortana and whatever. ok better than not getting them but i would rather like to see nintendo bringing more games with totally different characters with totally different art style which don't remind you that it is still just a character out of the mario world.

To be fair, the reason people don't want Master Chief doing those things is because of the type of character he is. His personality doesn't scream tennis and cutesy cart racing. Mario is more versatile in the sense that he can transcend multiple genres. I personally prefer this strategy than your suggested one because the use of new characters in a tennis game that were only used in said tennis games would make me feel like those characters don't matter. Essentially, I would feel like I was playing a game with a stick figure. Mario and gang replace what would be just stock characters with faces everyone recognizes and enjoys anyways.
