According to Nintendo:
New Super Mario Bros - 30.80 million
Mario Kart DS - 23.60 million
Pokemon Diamond/Pearl - 17.63 million.
Yeah, DS was the one time where Mario beat Pokemon in handhelds, and it didn't just beat it, it destroyed it!
But other than the DS, Pokemon has reigned supreme on Nintendo handhelds.

 

You left out many Pokemon games. Platinum, HeartGold/SoulSilver, Black/White, and Black2/White2 combined sold over 40 million, and there's the spin-offs namely Mystery Dungeon and Ranger which combined is another 10+ million.
