Mario Kart is its own franchise and its much bigger than Zelda.
SNES -- 2nd best selling title is Super Mario Kart (after Donkey Kong Country) non-bundled
N64 -- 2nd best selling title is Mario Kart 64 (after Super Mario 64)
GCN -- 2nd best selling title is Mario Kart: Double Dash (just a hair below Smash Bros. Melee)
Wii -- 2nd best selling title after Wii Sports
The "Mario" franchise is really several distinct seperate brands IMO:
2D Mario platformers
3D Mario platformers
Mario Kart franchise
Mario RPGs
Mario Party
Mario sports spinoffs
Calling them all one singular franchise is stupid, some of these games are nothing alike.
