game that started it.
game that moved it to 3D.
game that revived the series in 2D.
literally one of the best selling games year over year over the past almost decade and represents spinoffs better than anything.

really is impossible to deny NSMB as a success story. it's weird seeing as much fighting over it, fact is that's what redefined 2D Mario again and it has the numbers to prove it. hell you can even use time as the measurement - the list of new 2D Mario games goes from World in 1990 all the way to 2006 with the DS NSMB. Wii version comes out 3 years later and sets the standard. that is a 16 year gap. the DS didn't quite do what Miyamoto wanted it to do but the Wii one did and it's how the game is played now. 2D Mario was straight up dead until that series came up and the most influential entry is the Wii one. which is funny because 2D Mario proved, with that series, to outsell its 3D counterpart with ease.
