Castlevania is a bit weird in that the main games in the entries cover three distinct genres: 2D sidescroller Action, Metroid-style, and 3D Action. I'm not sure if it's be fair to judge them all based on the same categories. Super Mario would likewise have to be divided into 2D and 3D categories simply because the 2D and 3D games are very different. The problem here is that 3D Land and 3D World are a weird hybrid of the two. |
I can see the Castlevania thing, but I don't think it would be very difficult to compare and contrast 2D and 3D Super Mario games. They all belong to the same genre after all. Zelda includes 2D and 3D titles, but we were able to vote on all of them at once.
