Like I said, you can play casual games long. But the gratification is quick. Your example, Smash Brothers, exemplify it (quick round matches). Wii Sports, too. My mom and I spend long hours with it.
That's the "casual" in casual games. That's why RPGs aren't casual (but they aren't necessarily hardcore, either).
Hardcore games have a niche feeling in them. And while the facade may look "casual" (as in cute), it can be hardcore.
