"Subseries"

Sorry for not being more clear before on the series template talk page. I was not saying that your reasoning for calling the 3D Super Mario games the "Super Mario subseries" was to distinguish them as the "MAINLINE mainline games". My point was that the terminology gives that impression, regardless of intent. My suggestion is that if you do want to divide the mainline games into multiple "subseries" (which I still do not recommend), then a system like this would make more sense:

• Super Mario (series):
  • Super Mario Bros. (subseries):
    • Super Mario Bros.
    • Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
    • Super Mario Bros. 2
    • Super Mario Bros. 3
    • Super Mario World
    • New Super Mario Bros. (sub-subseries):
      • New Super Mario Bros.
      • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
      • New Super Mario Bros. 2
      • New Super Mario Bros. U
    • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
  • Super Mario Land (subseries):
    • Super Mario Land
    • Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
  • Super Mario 64
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • Super Mario Galaxy (subseries):
    • Super Mario Galaxy
    • Super Mario Galaxy 2
  • Super Mario 3D (subseries):
    • Super Mario 3D Land
    • Super Mario 3D World
  • Super Mario Maker (subseries):
    • Super Mario Maker
    • Super Mario Maker 2
  • Super Mario Run
  • Super Mario Odyssey

I believe this makes more sense than calling all the 2D platformers one subseries and all the 3D platformers a different subseries. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 14:08, May 7, 2024 (EDT)

I already have two project pages for subseries here and here, based on what I've said before. The Land games are their own series, as are the Maker games, while Run is its own thing judging by how the announcement for Bros. Wonder was worded. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:25, May 7, 2024 (EDT)

Hmmm... ok, Super Mario Maker being in the main series is a good point, but honestly the 3D platformers are a whole separate group, and Super Mario Land 1 & 2 fits more within Super Mario Bros. (sub-series). So this is kinda what I had:

• Super Mario (series):
  • Super Mario Bros. (subseries):
    • Super Mario Bros.
    • Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
    • Super Mario Bros. 2
    • Super Mario Bros. 3
    • Super Mario World
    • New Super Mario Bros. (sub-subseries):
      • New Super Mario Bros.
      • New Super Mario Bros. Wii
      • New Super Mario Bros. 2
      • New Super Mario Bros. U
      • Super Mario Run
    • Super Mario Bros. Wonder
  • Super Mario Land (sub-suberies):
    • Super Mario Land
    • Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
  • Super Mario (subseries)
    • Super Mario 64
    • Super Mario Sunshine
    • Super Mario Galaxy (sub-subseries):
      • Super Mario Galaxy
      • Super Mario Galaxy 2
    • Super Mario 3D (sub-subseries):
      • Super Mario 3D Land
      • Super Mario 3D World
    • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Super Mario Maker (subseries):
    • Super Mario Maker
    • Super Mario Maker 2

Of course, this is the GENERAL order, and doesn't include remakes, ports, or collections. EDIT: Oh fudge, Doc, edit conflict. Anyways, Run fits with NSMB(sss) because of its graphics, enemy choices, etc., while Land fits with SMB(ss) because they're 2D, various concepts from those games are used in other games, etc. And the whole reason I even made the rewrite was because I was inspired by your project pages!

Oh, this also doesn't include any other series within the franchise, or Mario-related other franchises in general. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 14:33, May 7, 2024 (EDT)
