Nintendo built the super mario franchise with the help of society's infrastructure(on top of the gaint's shoulders). For that society gave them 28years of time to monetize. But lobbying changed that equation in favor of corporations and made it 95 years. Nintendo making money or not, it's immoral to say the least for trying to impose copyright on what is supposed to be a public domain work. In the long run, relatively speaking society wouldn't be as big a gaint for future inventors as it was for nintendo.
