I will never understand the appeal in Mario games.

That's not at problem at all if you find other gaming experiences which you love. It's a shame that you can't enjoy Mario games though, I've always had so much fun with them .

I enjoyed Mario 2 (Doki Doki Panic), Mario 3, Super Mario World, and Mario 64. Then I got tired of it and started looking at other games critically. 2D Mario games have only continued to show me that side-scrolling Mario works for a bit before getting boring. 3D Mario games have shown me that Nintendo considers one new twist in each game is sufficient. The water cannon in Sunshine, silly gravity in both Galaxy games, and now a hat that can hijack NPCs. While Odyssey has the best new mechanic with the most variations of usage, it just doesn't do anything for me.

 

It might be because I look at Mario and see him as a racist relic from the past. While he's not as racist as black face or something, I still can't help but feel people would be upset if I made a protagonist out of a short and stout Mexican in work clothes named Pablo Pablo and game him the ability to jump really high and swim really fast as he eats mushrooms and flowers...
