Where Could Mario Go Next?....This Is Going To Be Tough

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="NaveedLife"]

Agreed. The hub world of Galaxy 2 (and Galaxy but not as bad) was a big dissapointment, and I hate shooting stars at enemies (I dont use it).

Definitely! And Sunshine did it even better (I love all of the secrets), I just prefer the castle. What the heck was the point of the mario spaceship "hub world"? There is virtually nothing to do on it!

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] I really don't think hub worlds are important. No hub world has ever been so good that the game would be lacking without it.NaveedLife

No clue, but I don't want it to go back to a large hub world like Mario 64, or have a bunch of nonsensical coin collecting. Galaxy 2 absolutely nailed it in that regard.

A game where a fat plumber jumps on the heads of his enemies in order to save an increasingly questionable princess (seriously, that chick is doing this on purpose because she enjoys being rescued a little too much) from some green thing who doesn't matter and doesn't appear to be motivated by anything.

This thing writes itself.

Put him in a dream world. Pretty much allows you to do anything without it seeming madeup.

I used to say Super Mario Micro, but it looks like theyve already done that with the DS game. If not 2 options.

Go with a theme like in Sunshine and Luigis Mansion.

Or make a traditional 3D Mario game in the same vein as 64 and the bonus levels in Sunshine. With mind blowing graphis and crazy level design. Bring in a story like Sunshine/SMG1

Mario FPS, obviously.

Through time past, present and future where new power ups become active.

Super Princess Peach, Mario is kidnapped.

Super Mario Dimensions. Each level will offer different visual styles and slightly altered gameplay mechanics/physics. (there would be 8-bit world, 64 bit world, cell shaded world etc)

Pikminmaniac

Plenty of places. Back to 2D sprites would be really nice.

Super Mario Dimensions. Each level will offer different visual styles and slightly altered gameplay mechanics/physics. (there would be 8-bit world, 64 bit world, cell shaded world etc)

Like 3D dot game heroes?

Jack-o-Thompson

A puzzle/platforming game where the power-ups Mario acquires can be used at will, after you find them in game. This could break a lot of level linearity by offering the player several different ways to complete it.

Grovilis

That does sound pretty cool.
