Didn't Nintendo like two months ago come out and say that Mario as a whole has seen growth on the Switch? I think at this point the issue is the amount of Mario games on the Switch is too much.

Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario 3D All-Stars
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury
Super Mario Maker 2
Super Mario Bros. Wonder

And this is just the platform games, not counting, Mario Sports, Kart, Party, Paper, etc. It really is a lot .......

That's a good point, when it comes to Super Mario platform games the Switch has more than any other Nintendo console I'm pretty sure.

The 3DS had 3 with Mario 3D Land,NSMB2, and Mario Maker.

The Wii U had 3.

The Wii had 3, Mario Galaxy 1&2, and NSMB Wii

Gamecube/N64 both had only 1.

The Switch has 6 so the sales are probably more shared between them, making individual game sales not as high as you'd expect 

Depend on what kind of viewpoint we are talking here. As far I am concerned Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury leg it phenomenally to become the 2nd best selling 3D Mario game, yet some pointed disappointment towards such a result.

Mario Maker 2 is not a straightforward 2D platform game since the level editing part is it's most important factor here. Nonetheless, it has outsold the first game.

The port of NSMBU did much MUCH better than what people were predicting at the time.

And now, Wonder doesn't sell like the gangbanger of the decade and people are going into panic mode for a game that's obviously gonna let it out as usual, even during the next console cycle so it's fine if the series is not exactly booming, because as it was pointed out. The franchise has experienced overall growth. That's what truly matters to them.
