I'd like to agree with you, but I won't. True, you make excellent points, but have you seen the mangas, the walkthroughs, the fan-videos, and everything else? People may think of MM as being underrated, but it only looks that way because it is right after OoT. Who would underrate it if that weren't the case, but it is. Nintendo didn't think that whole thing out completely through before that released the game. That could be one of their biggest mistakes, but guess what? They got through it. They made millions off the game. It was one of the most popular the year it came out. It was impossible to find anywhere for years. And you say it is underrated. Sure, I have said it is too short, but I can tell you that it was a very well-done game when you think about it. The storyline was perfectly written, and the new characters were even better. The game made a lot of money and was not underrated no matter what game it came after and before.
You are whining like everyone else about how the game was to short or something else, but you are complaining about how it was shown as much attention. Look at all of this:

These are just examples of the fan art people spend hours on creating. The game is underrated. Please. That is a joke. The game has gotten more attention than you want to believe. There are people out there who refuse to take minutes to search just facts, or fan art, fanfictions, fan videos, walkthroughs, anything, just to see how popular it actually is. MM could be more popular than OoT, if it was a little longer. Time was never an issue in the game, you are correct. Sure people complained about one minor thing, that was time. Time is always a problem, even now.
I don't want to spend forever on something that can take me minutes to explain, but don't ever say that a game is underrated just because it was crammed in there. It's just not right.
(Note: I didn't mean to sound rude. If I come off that way, then I apologize.)
