There Has Only Been 1 Main Series Completely New Mario Game in the Last 8 Years

Nintendo first found lasting success with the 1981 game Donkey Kong, but it was the release of Super Mario Bros. in September 1985 that truly boosted their home console sales. Building on the arcade game Mario Bros. – which introduced characters like the Koopas and Luigi – Super Mario Bros. created a complete and expansive side-scrolling adventure. The game also launched iconic characters like Bowser and Princess Toadstool (later known as Princess Peach), who would eventually star in their own games.
