Forgive me for just copying my answer from another post:
"What can be said about Super Mario? The first game in the series is probably the most important piece of video game software ever made, a title that resurrected an industry on the brink of collapse and made Japan the epicenter of the video game world. Almost thirty years later, the series is still the best platform franchise around. What's most remarkable about Super Mario is that it dominates both 2D and 3D platform games: Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy are two of the best and most groundbreaking 3D platform games; Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and, more recently, New Super Mario Bros., are some of the very best 2D platform games. Even when the series strays from the formula -- e.g., Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Land -- the results are outstanding."
As far as Metroid goes, it deserves more attention than it gets. I would rank it among the top three franchises ever made.
