Whenever I think of games which "pushed" a console graphically, I always think of this..
Plus, Bowser being on Mario's side is a mindf*ck of its own.
Other then this, maybe
and this
Honestly, I remember playing Super Mario 64, and just stopping to show my mom at how "realistic" this looked. This compared to any SNES/PS1 game at the time, was a ludacris step forward.
XenoBlade on the otherhand.....I just couldn't believe that ran on my Wii. I mean I could, but wow. Monolith Solf literally pushed the system to its limits in every single possible way.
EDIT: I misread the question, Super Mario 64 doesn't count because it doesn't push the N64, just push the envelop for gaming that the time. Super Mario RPG and XenoBlade to count. I know a lot of people would argue Starfox for SNES, but that game tried too hard to achieve 3D gaming. Starfox 2 actually had some details, so it would have counted, but it never released.
