Mario and Pikmin 30/40 hours? what? Those games aren't made for a campaign that long. You can expect Pikmin to be 11-15 hours with unlockable content and Mario < 8 hours and maybe 8-10 hours more if you're looking for extra levels.

While I think that 40 hours for Pikmin OR Mario would be excessive and only result in padding, saying that a 3D Mario game would be less than 8 hours is just silly. I don't pretend to be a super great gamer who never dies or anything, but I know I'm decent, and both Galaxy games offer a solid 15-20 hours as Mario and 20+ if you're going for all 240ish stars. Even Super Mario 64 has 10+ hours of good gameplay available. Hell, I put almost 20 hours into Super Mario 3D Land in order to get 100% completion, so trying to say that we should expect a 3D Mario to have less than 8 hours of content is ridiculous to me.

Yes I know but I was talking about the main campaign from start to credits taking 6-8 hours. Not everyone bothers to complete Mario 100%. For most (casual) players I think 20 hours are waaay to much (and the OP wants 30h from  start to credits?). Maybe so much they decide not to buy another Mario again. It has to appeal to a wide range of gamers. Hardcore gamers decide to get 240 stars and put 20+ hours in it.
