Besides, I'm a multiplayer person. I enjoy the spin-offs 10x more than the platformers (I refuse to call them "mainstream"). Not that I hate the platformers, but I just like the spin-offs more.
Do you feel like there is an overdose of Mario spin-offs recently?

I don't mind Mario Kart or Mario Baseball games, but when they start thinking about Mario Party 9 or Mario Sports Mix, I know something is wrong. Wait until the Wii-U for the next MP, Nintendo! No one cares!

Mario Sports Mix grew a lot on me actually. I think that it's the best Mario sports game so far. I wish it didn't have region locked wi-fi though.

Wow, I guess I'm not the only one who dislikes the tsunami of linear Mario platforms that last too short we're getting these days.

Can you name a Mario platformer (other than SMW) that isn't linear and/or short?

Yeah, but I'm for longer lasting games.

sm64/ds
sms
smb3 also had pretty decent length too
trying to remember if yoshi games did or not
pretty sure sml2 had decent length, but it's been a long time so someone correct me
But yeah agreed with ornthologist Mario on this one.
Many platformers we get are just so easy you can blaze through them or lack much content.
Personally if we get another game like sm64/sms or smw, in terms of big levels or many exits(or both), then that sounds good.
I was looking forward to super mario 3ds untill i saw the actual game, so thats a bummer.

No. I feel like there's always been an overdose of Mario spin-offs.FunkyKong84 said:

Sunshine had lots of exploration to do. It takes place in a vast world where exploring can be rewarding.

wtf are YOU on?
sm64 and sms are even labled as one of the most explorisive(sp?) games of ALL TIME, containing huge levels, many ways to approach objectives, and having a ton of content, also smb3 actually had linear levels but a lot of levels were optional, and of course worlds were too with flutes.
Sml2 kinda worked like smw too, just not as big.
saying those games are linear is like saying elder scrolls oblivion is linear as racing games.
seriously dude, replay them and you'll see what i mean.

Sunshine was so non-linear you could skip the first level in Bianca Hills.Zae said:

I'm sorry, but none of the levels in either Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine are nearly as linear as half the levels Super Mario Galaxy (none of Galaxy's levels are truly explorative because they always force a goal on you anyways). Super Mario 64 was longer and more difficult than the newer games because of the way the game was. If you knew exactly what you were doing (read: speedrunning without glitches), you could probably beat the game faster than Super Mario Galaxy, but if you just started playing it for the first time it's much longer. The only direction it gives you was the clues for each star, making it take more time to find each star without a guide or prior knowledge. Super Mario Sunshine had a goal for most of their levels, but because of its main hub (there were at least 20 stars hidden there) and the blue coins, it isn't linear at all to earn all of the stars.
