    Mario Kart is the definition of a spin-off game. Like, what?

      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.
