What games are you thinking of? Only ones that fit that criteria in my mind are Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario 64. SMGalaxy and SMOdyssey could also fit that criteria: the former introduced 360 degree platforming with orchestra scoring, the latter gave birth to an entire subgenre of platformers (“Stylized Platformersâ€Â).

The first three games all did things we'd never experienced before. Especially the first and third. 64 was another, and then Sunshine with FlUDD. I suppose Wonder might classify, but it's a 50/50.

I guess what I meant to say is I don't like the idea of sub-sequels. Like Galaxy 2, or Odyssey 2 etc. 

But that's just me. As someone on this site put it: I am an island person, not an ocean person.

Ah, I see what you’re saying. So… SMB1+3, Yoshi’s Island, SM64, SMSunshine, SMGalaxy, (maybe?) SM3DLand, SMOdyssey, and SMBWonder. Also, if you want that “newness” in a Mario Team platformer, DKBananza released two months ago. Good time to check that out!

you say this, but they followed a similar formula for DK: (i) DKCReturns HD in January, (ii) DK Country Amusement Park in May, and (iii) DKBananza in July.

This case is different. I was not talking about the Mario franchise as a whole, as in your example with Donkey Kong. I was talking about the Mario Galaxy content.

No no, we’re on the same page. (i) SMGalaxy 1+2 in October 2025, (ii) SMGalaxy Movie in April 2026, (iii) SMGalaxy new entry…?
