Mario is overrated in my opinion.

For the present day you can make that argument (you'd likely lose it, but you could make it). For gaming history? No. That opinion does not have a leg to stand on.

Yes, it pretty much invented the classic platform game. In the 80's. So i agree with you. Today's mario games are overrated. Are they still good games? In my opinion, no. It's the exact same game that it was 25 years ago. 

Speaking purely on 2D mario games. The 3D ones are superb although they don't innovate as much as the previous iteration.
