I don't know what I'd like except that IÂ probably won't even buy Mario if it's in a space theme'd setting like SMG. I just didn't like how the maps were broken into a bunch of planets/pieces and all that. I don't like the space either.
What I do know though is that I would like to see more of a story to it. It needs more than a 2 minute cartoon book intro written for 3 year old toddlers if I am gonna buy the next one. I am a bit tired of Nintendo games actually. Ratchet and Clank on PS3 showed us that is it possible for a platformer to be more than just collecting stars. With dialogue, cutscenes, stuff happening, a story... Time to step up to next gen, no story and collecting stars just doesn't cut it for me any longer, it needs more.xWoW_Rougex

Maybe you should check out the Mario RPG/Paper Mario series instead, as that focuses more on the story aspects... (opposed to the "core" Super Mario games, which focus on platforming)
Hm lemme rephrase it since I probably didn't explain it well enough:
What I want isn't necesarrily some epic grand story. I don't mind platforming at all, but I want events to occur, I want some kind of journey. In Mario, there's barely any signifcant story/events going on, it's a short introduction then you spend the whole game collecting stars.
Check this youtube video:

I want less "ordinary gameplay" and more events. I want some cutscenes, I want action. Take Uncharted games, they're not cutscenes but events happen, you're running around in some friggin' sinkin ship, you walk up this path and boom some giant window explodes and then bam, some friggin' water pours in and stuff.
It's hard to explain really so lemme try and repeat it once again: I want a more movie-like experience, which is something PS3/360 games have done well and this is something I feel is lacking in Nintendo games to be honest. Basically, I want a proper Mario game BUT with flash, fireworks, some kind of pace. I don't want to just end the friggin' level by collecting a star, I want some cutscene, event or story to happen.
I think this is what I liked most with this generation. Once again, like Uncharted; it's like a friggin' hollywood movie. Or Ratchet and Clank, like some friggin' pixar movie. This is what the Nintendo games lacked, they're too much "gameplay only".

Alright, but I personally would not like a "movie-like" Mario game.
I rather see they insist on platfroming and the gameplay, first and foremost.
The story in the Mario games is not of a big importance to me.
