Other than Kart which other mario series would have been added? I'm more salty about donkey kong country though. It's not even the same donkey kong.
You've got the paper ones and the doctor ones...you could make a case for 2d vs 3D...maybe even for side stuff he showed up in (I.e. Golf)
Did 3 or more mario sports game + the original mario sport game get nominated though? Same with the doctor one.

Paper, Kart and Party seem like the only ones.

Smash, Mario & Luigi, and Land were others that would have qualified.

I wouldn't really call Smash a mario spinoff game. I'm actually quite shocked smash fans aren't up in arms about it not being included.

Mario & Luigi makes sense though as a legit spinoff.

Land is super similar to Super Mario Bros. that i'd just include it into the series and wouldn't call it a spinoff. Super Mario Bros./3D marios/Land to me are all mainstream same franchise games.

In the end that's my opinion though.
