Because Mario and Metroid are two totally different genres: one is a game with many shooter elements while another is a platformer. How many good first person platformers have you played? Precisely.

It's common sense that Metroid went first person and Mario went third person. Miyamoto knew this and he was a key figure in both franchises' jump to 3D.


Metroid is a platformer. Stop playing around. They're the exact same genre, only Metroid has action elements and connected levels. Miyamoto doesn't know best. He's responsible for Star Fox Adventures.
