No, Luigi's Mansion was what kept the GCN hanging at first, until Melee, Pikmin, and other major games followed. It's not a spin-off, since this established it as a major game. Maybe that rumor was just comparing them to the NES and SNES classics, along with 64 and Galaxy. |

Luigi's Mansion was an awesome game. I loved it. When I lost my copy in Poker, I bought another. |

...if Mario Tennis was released at launch instead of Luigi's Mansion, it would have held the Cube in place just as well. Does that make Mario Tennis any less of a spinoff? No. Same damn thing goes for Luigi's Mansion. Mainstream Mario games (IMO) - Original trilogy, The Lost Levels, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy Everything else, in one way or another - Spinoff |

Baby, wait, I didn't mean to say "nightmare"!

I'd be willing to call Yoshi's Island (it was Super Mario World 2, after all) and its sequel part of the main series too. |

But Luigi's Mansion is kind of an adventure game, where he explores this mansion on a quest to save Mario. Adventure games are mainstream. Spin-offs are more like party games, like the sports games, Mario Kart, etc. |

Luigi's Mansion isn't a spinoff... It's just as much of a spinoff as SMB2 is. |

Exactly. All the adventure-genre games are mainstream. |

So then, just to play devil's advocate. Super Princess Peach (NDS) Spinoff? |
