it's an entry to a series. Why? Because we've told them there are at least two games. That's what a series is, by definition — two or more consecutive things.

I've expanded the lead with more development details and (I hope) a more elegant insertion of the Mario series Wikilink. I hope it's an improvement.

I'm not saying we shouldn't mention or link the series, I'm just saying the prose needs to be good too.

Yes, I see the same thing in many game articles. Unfortunately, I think it's a problematic pattern.
