Mario rocks. Simple as that. But, recently, the series has been declining.

Throw in the embarassement of Mario's appearance in NBA Street and SSX 4, and I can see where people may begin to resent him.

That pretty much sums it up. I don't hate the franchise, mind you, I'm just waiting for a new, true Mario game to come out. Another excellent platformer, a la Super Mario 64. I did enjoy Sunshine, though, despite so many people saying they hated it.
I kind of like the fact that the series has taken a detour to spin-offs, actually. Opened me up to Metroid, which I had never played in the past, and now I'm hooked.
