Very well people. Those who own a Wii have probably played Super Mario Galaxy. Those who don't should hit themselves and get it NOW.

I am also quite sure that you have read the frontpage interview with the director of SMG by Gamespot. He mentioned that there will be another true Mario platformer, even though it won't be anymore on Wii. So my question would be: What should they do with it?

The biggest problem would be, off course, finding a kind of setting that would be at least as original as the space stuff. Not to mention that these settings need a hub of interest. Yeah, the setting would most certainly be a problem, as it will have to be better then SMG's to be accepted by gamers.

Gameplaywise, just stay with the core. Galaxy did it perfect. But once again, how to improve it? I would personally see that the fire power-up would last a bit longer. This way, the fire flower has been reduced to a puzzle solving key, instead of a weapon of serious ass-kicking. Now I fully agree that the game shouldn't become easy because of it. The timer was a fine solution. But there is just too little time to get to the fun part.

Any thoughts?

I have to even see SMG, but I say do a wacky world, like in M&L:SS.

No Mario game (save for the Lost Levels) has borne any real resemblance to the one that came before it. I have a feeling that the next Mario platformer is liable to follow a similar path.

I haven't played SMG yet. :(

The next Mario game should have less Mario and more Luigi. :P

That would be nice. A specific one for Luigi, but one in which he's not all scared like Luigi's Mansion.

I thought he allready had a pretty good role in Mario Galaxy, but that's just me. I am also quite the luigi-fan, but a whole game revolving around him should be significantly different from a Mario game. But yeah, some alternative starring Luigi would be cool.

You should be able to switch characters a la Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
