The 2D Mario games that I've played. I've come to the conclusion that, since the first one defined the genre for many people and was the game that got played the most during that time due to being shipped with all NES consoles, it gets some kind of blank check. In my opinion, however, they are as boring, uninspired, and nonsensical as anything out there. Despite having been a big Nintendo fan as a kid, I struggled with accepting that I hated the game-play, hated the Mario character, and hated the lack of any substance at all behind it. That kind of memory-based game-play always felt more like homework to me than fun. I could never play for more than a few minutes before wanting to switch to something else. I'd be absolutely fine with never playing another 2D platformer again in my life.

So, is it a 2D Mario thing, or a 2D platformer thing then?

Both? Mario tends to be the one people rate the highest and I've owned two of them. I have played 2D platformers I liked more, such as Sonic and Rayman, though neither held my attention for very long and I have no interest in them now.
