No, I don't. It's a hot take... :)
But since you asked... pretty much every fighting game is better than Smash. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken. If you take power-up platform battlers as it's own genre, then it's also beaten by Powerstone.
Racing games better than Mario Kart? For pure racing, Gran Turismo, Project Gotham, Metropolis Street Racer. For racing with powerups, bombs and such? Wipeout.
Again, Nintendo games are great intros to a genre, and if it's your first game you'll look at all of them with warm fuzzy glasses on.
But as an adult, who has played hundreds of RPGs? Breath of the Wild was an empty world that bored the shit out of me.
