Is Everyone Going to Pretend 'Yoshi's Island' Is Not a Super Mario Game?

Last week, the video game website Polygon published a ranked list of the best Super Mario video games that sent shockwaves through the Mario enthusiast community. By ranking celebrated entries like Super Mario 64 in the 11th spot, and dark horses like New Super Mario Bros. U in the top spot, the list's author Jeremy Parish defied conventional wisdom with well argued points.
I respect Jeremy Parish. His YouTube videos on retro Nintendo wares are very thorough and informative. He's a knowledgeable and talented writer. But his recent list is wrong. I also respect anyone taking the piss out of his list, but SB Nation’s rebuttal list is also wrong. They are both wrong and rep Super Mario 3D World way too much.
