I honestly outgrew Mario, I think. The games are still solid platformers and enjoyable but I don't go out of my way to play them. Ronalopolis likes them a lot so we own them, but I haven't played much of the original New Super Mario Bros. nor have I tried the Wii one or the 3DS Mario Land, even though they are all in the house here.
Last Mario game I actually played was Super Mario Galaxy, and the last one I spent any real time with was Sunshine (which I loved).
It sorta feels weird, openly stating that I love Nintendo and that the DS is my favorite system and generally being a fangirl, then stating that I really don't care about Mario.
The did announce something about a Kirby 20th Anniversary thing, and I'm all about that.
