If you had to erase one of Nintendo's (alive) franchises from history entirely which would you choose?

Erasing them from history makes it so it never happened so games inspired by the franchise or genres the franchise pioneered wouldn't exist.

For example if I erased Earthbound from History Undertale never would have happened, so choose carefully.

Nintendo's currently alive Franchises (not counting spin-offs or crossovers) seem to be

1. Super Mario
2. The Legend of Zelda
3. Pokemon
4. Kirby
5. Metroid
6. Animal Crossing
7. Fire Emblem
8. Xenoblade
9. Pikmin
10. Donkey Kong
11. Splatoon
12. Star Fox (alive by a thread)
13. Rhythm Heaven (also alive by a thread)
14. Bayonetta (even though it's technically a SEGA franchise Nintendo treats it as it's own at this point)

I've Decided to not include franchises that are dead (F-zero, Earthbound, Golden Sun, Chibi-Robo), only have 1 entry (ARMS, Astral Chain, Ring-fit) or are super niche even if they do get games because by proxy everybody would chose those (Box Boy!, Famicom detective club remakes coming out in japan)
