Lol this is stupid. You have to include all of the mario games and spinoffs and all of the zelda games and zelda spinoffs etc. Mario Kart is a mario spinoff for example.

Surely you're able to see the difference between a Mario platformer and a Mario racer.

Surely you're able to see why I'm hesitant to consider it its own franchise at the same time.

The differing mechanics between a platformer and a racer?

Not to mention that Nintendo games follow the same formulas and mechanics for the most part since the originals.

Applies to pretty much every game in existence: racing games have all been about getting to the finish line first for example, first-person shooters involve shooting, hack-and-slash involve hacking and slashing, platformers involve not letting gravity kill you.
