How has Mario remained popular, when other Cartoon Videogame characters have failed or declined in popularity?

Haven't you realized by now that Nintendo games are laced with cocaine to make you addicted?

Really?

 

@ Fusioncode

 

But why is it that these other developers seem incapable of keeping a steady line of quality coming? Is it that hard?

Other companies are ruled by idiotic shareholders and greedy bosses.  Nintendo doesnt give a damn about what their shareholders want (go mobile!!!!!) and actually has some ethics.

Also not overly complicated game mechanics. Its a hardcore game thats also casual (casual does NOT mean easy it means accessible) and therefore has mass appeal. Others only focus on kids etc.
