Ever wonder how much money our favorite little plumber has made for Nintendo? Well, wonder no more, as Nintendo has disclosed the exact amount (give or take a decimal) of units the Mario series has sold since it's inception in 1983. For kicks, I've included the top five franchises for Nintendo, with units sold as of March 2007:

Total Mario series: more than 198 million units sold worldwide
Total Pokémon series: more than 164 million units worldwide
Total Zelda series: more than 52 million units worldwide
Total Donkey Kong series: more than 48 million units worldwide
Total Metroid series: more than 13 million units worldwide

 I wish the Metroid series was higher up. That series has a lot of potential, and it just has never seem to hit mainstream like Nintendo's other franchises.

What about the Kirby series? Do you have any data on those games?
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

So Donkey Kong doesn't count?
That was a joke.

Pokemon kind of has it easy, since most people buy both versions at the beginning of a generation and get the third after recovering financially... Since Wikipedia groups each trio as one game the top-seller for each Nintendo handheld is pretty much guaranteed to be Pokemon on the article for it. Mmmmm...

from what I can gather, that is bundled with the Total Donkey Kong series sales. Of course, I could be wrong, but Nintendo doesn't specify if the original DK is with which sales.
