I'm a huge Nintendo fan but that's very inaccurate. I was a kid in the 80's and SMB3 was as big as COD. Everyone, everywhere, had to own that game. Mario is no where near the cultural phenomenon it once was. 

I've already said this to someone else, but "ever" might've been a bit hyperbole. As big as ever post-SNES days might be more accurate. :-3

I would say certaintly since the end of the N64 era. I think Mario has actually gotten a tad more popular since Sunshine. People in their early 20's have fond memories of that game but at the time, it, along with most Gamecube titles of popular Nintendo franchises, was considred pretty "meh" by gamers. I look at that whole era as the low point for the company even though sales were slightly better than they are now.
