But it was a highly influential game, and kickstarted the motion control craze, if influence was the deciding factor for SSB I think Wii Sports has its place.

Yeah, but where is Wii Sports as a franchise today? Meanwhile Smash is not only still around, but arguably a bigger franchise than Zelda/3DMario.

Wave Race isn't still around, neither is F-Zero, yet both of those are still on the list, I'd say Wii Sports has been much more influential than those two.
