Why didn't the overkill alert (for you) start at, Dr. Mario, Mario Paint, Paper Mario, Mario's Time Machine, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Kart, Mario Party, Mario Soccer, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Mario and Wario, Mario's Missing!, Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympics, Mario Pinball, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Hoops 3on3, Super Paper Mario, Mario Sports Mix.

I wikipedia'd it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...eaturing_Mario) Mario is in 50+ games easy. Granted not all of those are Mario games - but they've seemingly had the plan to be raping his little Mexitalian visage since day one - he was the PunchOut! Ref, for fucks sake!
I don't count spin-offs.
I've never disagreed with the notion that Nintendo whores out the character of Mario.
But his main titles tended to be spread out.
6 years between Mario 64 and Sunshine.
5 years between Sunshine and the first Galaxy game.
Since Galaxy has been almost one a year sans 08

And possible two this year.
