Why do people hate on Mario?

I think part of problem is Mario being in the game means creativity will be limited to Mushroom Kingdom norms just applied to new Sport title like Basketball, Baseball, etc.

There are similarities, that is the nature of a franchise. You wouldn't make a a Final Fantasy game that was all about Kobe Bryant's adventure into the NHL.

However, saying Mario has limited creativity is a HUUUUUUGE inaccuracy. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are two of the most creative videogames ever developed. The franchise is the most creative of all the major franchises from throughout all of videogame history.
