They were talking about it on this weeks podcast, and the whole issue of calling the new Mario Kart game Mario Kart 7 led me to think about it.
 
The clear scientific conclusion I arrived as was this:
 
Super Mario Bros = Super Mario Bros 1
Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels = Super Mario Bros 2
Super Mario Bros 3 = Super Mario Bros 3
Super Mario World = Super Mario Bros 4
New Super Mario Bros = Super Mario Bros 5
New Super Mario Bros Wii = Super Mario Bros 6 
 
These are the core Super Mario Bros games.  They all share the same core gameplay.  They're all called full on "Super Mario Bros" in Japan(Yoshi's Island is called Super Mario: Yoshi's Island in Japan.  There's no Bros.)   We know Super Mario Bros. 2 USA was a completely different game originally. And all the 3D games are part of the Mario 64 series.
So I could totally see them releasing a new core Super Mario Bros game at this point and justify calling it Super Mario Bros 7.

Yeah, I wasn't sure where this belonged.
It's a response to something they discussed on the podcast, but it's really more of a general topic...

Given that this thread's going nowhere and the other thread seems to have some conversation in it, I'm going to close this thread and link to the other thread. Thanks!

Apologies for the terrible sentence above.
