Mario Kart is the definition of a spin-off game. Like, what?
Mario Kart has reached the point where it actually outsells the platformers. It’s Nintendo’s biggest system seller.
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.
