Sublime, what was too kiddy? Mario may be kid friendly, but it is certainly not adult prohibitive. It's not like Barney or some such thing, it's just G rated. There's really nothing wrong with that, I really don't understand...
This is another thing that bothers me. What the hell does it mean to be adult in a video game? I don't think the game industry is in consensus on this point as one can see with the rift between industry people like Miyamoto and Blackley. And certainly the consumer base reflects this reality as well.
