No more silly spinoffs! We've only had 3 major Mario games in the last 25 years! Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy 1, and 2 is it!
Give us Super Mario Galaxy 3.
Take my money!

Since when are Mario World, NSMB, and Sunshine silly spinoffs? I won't get into the argument about 3D World even though it's clearly also a mainline title, or why NSMBWii or U aren't, for that matter, but you cannot try and call the other games spinoffs. 

New Super Mario Bros was a retro style spinoff. It is a completely separate series.

Mario Sunshine is also a separate series. Miyamoto himself even confirmed that Sunshine wasn't Mario 128, the sequel to Mario 64 first announced in 1997 (128 was an experimental title which was ultimately scrapped and many of the elements it prototyped were taken and repackaged as Nintendo's new Mario 64 sequel, Super Mario Galaxy). Sunshine was a sequel to Luigi's Mansion, except featuring Mario. The game was about wearing a big squirt gun to shoot at goop all over the place. 

I wasn't referring to Mario World, as it was the point 25 years ago I was referring to when we really stopped seeing a steady release of mainline Marios.
