        A Mario-clone is a side-scroller where the player runs, jumps, picks 
up power-ups, and dispatches of enemies in generally ridiculous ways.

        Plot?  The only console games with a hint of a decent plot I've seen 
are the RPG's (except perhaps games like Shadows of the Empire).
        And I would say that the creatures of Donkey Kong Country *were* 
hokey.
