I'm not one to argue, but I have one more thing to say.
Look at Megaman. I'm pretty sure his appearance is 99% because of fans.
Nintendo knows people love Mother (Virtual Console+Miiverse) and I'm pretty sure they'd do what they can to please the fans. Honestly, most of my non-videogame playing friends know about Mother and not F-Zero. Not that it matters...
It is ultimately what Sakurai thinks is the best representation.

In the eyes of the commoner, people know no more about Mother than F-Zero. Average Joe would have the same idea of what they are. But series like Mario they could identify immediately.You know we're talking about smash bros, right?
