I hate to be picky but Donkey Kong Country wasn't by Nintendo it was by Rare, anyway...

Zelda and Metroid are my favourite series of all time (along with Castlevania by Konami)
Platformers: New Super Mario Bros (on the DS) is a great game along with the others mentioned.
Racing games: Rubbish, well ok not that bad, but not in the same league as Need for Speed or Burnout.
Fighting: Again really poor compared to Tekken and Soul Calibur.

RPG: I guess their biggest money spinning success would be Pokemon, and the ones you mention whilst good are they in the same league as Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts? (I'd say yes, but I think most people would disagree)

So yeah, Zelda and Metroid rock then.
