People are failing to realise that Nintendo extend Mario more than just a video game character. To many, he's become a sort of "seal of quality" to the general public. You want a fun platformer? Mario main series. Want a fun racing game? Mario Kart. Party game? Mario Party.
To be honest, I probably wouldn't have tried half of the Mario titles had thy not had Mario in them, but the reason why I have is because I am more assured that it's generally a more quirky and fun variation to the particular genre, and all in all, I haven't been as disappointed as what I would have been by choosing other random games from the same genres.
