    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.

        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.
