Platformers are decent launch titles that are frequently only as good as their main characters. For some messed up reason, people go gaga over this fat Italian plumber guy. Furthermore, his compatriots are even dumber characters with no real goal or purpose. Reguardless of this fact, the cast of Nintendo’s flagship series always manage to present amazing games. I think the first time I ever saw these “plumbers” do any actual plumbing was in Super Star Saga, but that’s beside the point.
