What do you consider to be the main Mario games?

[Mercury]

I'm new, and I was wondering what everyone's opinion was to what the main Mario games were?  In my opinion, they are:

Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2

Upcoming:
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario 128

Comments?

Good show, old man.

I consider this thread to be the main thread about the main Mario games.

:P

[Sqrt2]

The following games are the ones I consider to be the main Mario games (even though Luigi's Mansion features Mario for less than 30 seconds)

Donkey Kong/DK Jr.
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars
Super Mario 64
Paper Mario
Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2

Upcoming games

Paper Mario 2
New Super Mario Bros.

All other games such as the Party and Sports games I consider as spin-offs.

I am not a complete idiot. There are bits missing.

Lol, my thread pretty much died, so I figured I'd retreat to this one.

Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Jr.
Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Yoshi's Story
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Paper Mario
Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga
Super Mario Land
Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins

*Whew* That about does it.  I know you're thinking "Hey, the Donkey Kong games don't count!"  But I have always considered them as being part of the Mario universe, so oh well.

If I were only interested in the platforming Mario games, would I have them all listed, or am I missing any?  Not including any of the Wario or DK games.
