You could go backwards in Mario 3...
Yeah, I get the whole "throwback" thing. But still, the point is that it's not actually 'first-in-fifteen-years' by most any reasonable count. But it is a very good looking Mario sidescroller, and it is the first Mario-universe sidescroller to use this graphical style (3d world, 2d game)...
Oh, the first Wario game, Wario Land 1, is still the best Wario title... though WarioWare is pretty awesome too...
