Not true as every sequel is a different scenario, each 3D Mario game has significant differences to the experiences, 64 is not like the Galaxy games and neither of these games are like 3D duo, the same can also be said of the Zelda games of all the 3D Zeldas only 2 of them are similar. Now compare that to your example of Ratchet and Clank where you can jump into any game in the series and the experience hasn't really changed despite what ever progressions they've added, fact is they do get criticized when something is the same as the NSMB series showed the reason you don't see that criticism geared towards them as often with most of their games is because the are significant changes to the experience from previous games.
