Should Super Mario Maker be considered a mainstream game? It has the standard platforming and "Super Mario" in the name, but the levels are primarily user-generated. I wanted to get the community's opinions on the subject before adding it.--[[User:MarioManTAW|MarioManTAW]] ([[User talk:MarioManTAW|talk]]) 11:06, 22 April 2016 (EDT) | Should Super Mario Maker be considered a mainstream game?

:I think it's better off as a miscellaneous game. For starters, there's no official narrative in the game whatsoever; whereas every single mainstream Mario platformer has one. Super Mario Land has more in common than Super Mario Maker, and that has standard platforming and ''Super Mario'' in its name too, but we don't consider it part of the mainstream series. The user-generated content and primary focus around level creation is enough for it to be different than the mainstream ones, and I think there's too much debate whether it constitutes as one, so there's also that. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 11:48, 22 April 2016 (EDT) | :I think it's better off as a miscellaneous game.

::For what it's worth, there has been a few [[Template talk: | ::For what it's worth, there has been a few [[Template talk:Mario games#Super_Mario_Maker_is_part_of_the_main_series|relevant]] [[Talk:Super_Mario_Maker#Request_to_move_page_from_the_.27Miscellaneous.27_to_.27Super_Mario_series.27|discussions]] on this. It's been argued that the series should be part of the mainstream games because of its name and gameplay, and it's listed alongside other similar games in the anniversary booklets (but ''Super Mario Land'' stuff is there too, and we don't group ''Super Mario Land'' for various reasons). On the other hand, this deviates strongly from the other mainstream games just by being a level maker tool thing rather than a traditional game, so you could make a case for that too. {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:06, 22 April 2016 (EDT) | ||
