People who consider Mario a gameplay-only game are not true Mario fans

Top - notch? Not even remotely close. It has the same simple 3 button gameplay it had 25 years ago, with a few tweaks here and there. It is FAR from top notch by today's standards. If i compare a game like Skyrim to Mario the difference is even bigger.

Its simple addicting and fun, but its nowhere near top notch.

(I assumed you were talking about 2D mario)

I didn't say revolutionary gameplay, I said top-notch gameplay. In contrast with the variety required in making a world captivating, the number of buttons doesn't dictate the quality of gameplay.
