the thing is, you're comparing things out of the context
Super Mario Bros was the best in graphics you could have at the time. You can't compare it with newer videogames because that's like comparing apples to oranges.
Graphics are equally important as gameplay, music and all other aspects that form the game. Though, good graphics does NOT mean high-end realistic graphics. The graphics (this involves if the game uses 2D/3D images, art direction, animation) should match with the story, gameplay and music. You can't have a shoot-em-up with kiddy graphics if the music/setting/etc doesn't match with it, for example. It all needs to form a coherent, singular piece, which is the game.
