Mario Kart isn’t a mainline Nintendo game? I’d say Donkey Kong made the launch “window” too but that one is more debatable. I have no interest on spending that type of money on toys, but I understand the appeal.
Mario Kart is the definition of a spin-off game. Like, what?
It sells like hot cakes on all Nintendo consoles, it's as mainline as it gets. Starting as a spin-off means nothing.
Persona is a Megami Tensei spin-off.
Smash bros is nothing but a giant crossover episode.
The whole Mario series used to be a freaking Donkey Kong spin-off.
Mario Kart has reached the point where it actually outsells the platformers. It's Nintendo's biggest system seller.
