3D Land (3DS), and 3D World + Bowsers Fury are basically main series games, just 3D levels set in stages. 3D World is also better than Odyssey.
Mario Land 1 and 2 on Gameboy were also mainline games, the first new 2D Mario games for Gameboy and they introduce Daisy and Wario to Mario canon which makes them important.
There's also 4 different New Super Mario Bros. games for DS/Wii/3DS/Wii-U, but they're all largely interchangeable. Only the Wii-U version is on Switch right now.
Finally Mario Wonder is the newest 2D Mario, and the first original once after 15 years straight of NSMB.
Yoshi's Island also of course spinoffs the entire Yoshi series, which has Yoshi's Story on N64, Yoshi's Island DS and New Island, Yoshi's Wooly World, Yoshi's Crafted World, and the upcoming Yoshi and the Mysterious book.
Then of course there's the Luigi's Mansion series, the Wario Land games, DK games, Mario RPG's, etc....but that's when you get to non-platformers.
