1st-2nd Generation
Not applicable. Barely played any games from these 2 gens.
3rd Generation
EarthBound Beginnings (Mother) - About 30 hours from my only playthrough that I completed in 2015. Will probably replay it one day.
4th Generation
EarthBound (Mother 2) - Over 30 hours. That's just one playthrough. One I eventually replay the game, more time will be poured into the total amount I've played it.

5th Generation

Probably Paper Mario. Spent about 20 hours on it.
6th Generation
Pretty confident it's Super Smash Bros. Melee. I don't remember what my current file says for power/play time. But between that file, my old file, and my cousin's files, we're looking at 60+ hours easy. More than likely 100+.
7th Generation
Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Over 220 hours.
8th Generation
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - A little over 600 hours, and my most-played game of all-time.
9th Generation - I know this gen is in contention, and most don't think it will start until the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett come out. But I say the Switch kicked off this gen since it was a successor to both a home console and handheld Nintendo released at the beginning of Gen 8.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Over 120 hours
