Has the Mario Kart franchise outclassed the Super Mario Bros. franchise?

Yes it has; as far back as Wii MKWii outsold NSMBWii, and this has continued to hold true on Wii U and Switch as well.

MK is one of the biggest franchises in gaming right now, MK8D is probably gonna top out around 80 million copies when all's said and done.

You are correct, but I don't feel like back in the Wii times, the Mario Kart brand was that strong in people's mind as it is today. To the point where people would associate Mario more to Mario Kart than to Super Mario Bros. games. Nowadays, I am not sure about it!
