So Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario RPGs, Mario vs DK should all just die?

 

I don't think the world would miss any of those titles in any significant way, no. The NES and SNES are their greatest consoles and back then, they trimmed the fat alot better and I think it was the right thing to do. 

Did they really trim the fat better then?

1988-Super Mario Bros 2

1989-Super Mario Land

1990-Super Mario Bros 3, Dr. Mario

1991-Super Mario World

1992-Super Mario Land 2, Mario Paint, Super Mario Kart, Mario is Missing

1993-Super Mario All-Stars, Mario & Wario, Mario's Time Machine, Yoshi's Safari

1994-Super Mario Land 3, Mario's Early Years! Fun With Letters, Fun with Numbers, Preschool Fun

1995-Super Mario World 2, Mario's Picross

Plus his likeness was used in their various sports games like Punch-Out, Golf, Tennis, etc.

Nes open Golf was the first real Mario golf ( and it was great,with courses programmed and designed by Satoru Iwata).

Besides nes open, Mario Bros. the arcade game was missed for the nes.

People overlook all the stuff they didn't like from the early consoles, Mario has been in tons since day one. 

A lot of people still by the spinoffs so, maybe they aren't for you but, personally I like having Mario on a game name because they always put out a game with really great controls that play well. If im at all interested in the genre, i know it will play well (even if it might not have all the features I want or enought varied content).
