thatd be awesome. with supped up graphics sort of like contra and castlevania but wayy more polished and detailed. Mario'd return to his roots. That game'd kik serious ass.

I agree, I believe a modern 2.5 d mario game would be much more fun than the 3d ones

I just want a new Mario game, period.

*looks over a Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine* What are YOU guys looking at...

*starts playing them like a madman*

How about Mario and Luigi? Though it's not really a classic platformer, it has plenty of platformer elements plus I hear it's pretty cool.

As for a new Mario adventure, heh, I'll just say that they are gonna run out of things to port sometime

Yes! I want a sidescrolling mario! And in the style of the first NES game! I hope N grants our wishes... Hell, a new Super Mario Bros probably wouldn't take that long to do, after all it's much less complicated than a full 3d title.

Luciferschild · « **Reply #5 on:** May 22, 2003, 07:26:11 AM »

I agree, 3d mario just ain't the same. I hope they do make that game but nintendo seems to do the opposite of what I want them to do lately.

I'd like to see another side scrolling Mario game but I don't want it to be "2.5D" with polygons. If they're going to make it sidescrolling then do it right and make it 2D with sprites. That way they can make it on the GBA and the next 3D Mario can be on the Gamecube thus giving us the best of both worlds.

Mario in 3D is generally fine. What they have to do though is make the next 3D Mario game more action based with smaller levels that revolve around the idea of making it from the beginning of the level to the end instead of all this "collect useless crap" stuff.

I want them to bring back wart and maybe have him launch an attack against bowser something like happened in The orginal RPG. I love playing as bowser.

My issue with the 3-D Mario games is that they've taken all the "arcade action" out of the franchise. The old Mario games used to be about precision jumping, eye-hand coordination and reflexes. Now they're puzzle-solving games. It's not the same...they aren't TRUE Mario sequels. As far as I'm concerned the last real "Mario" game was Yoshi's Island on the SNES.

bah i like both...if their fun then i like them.

WesDawg · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2003, 01:37:48 PM »

I think a game that had a hundred or so of the "special" levels from SMS would be awesome. Trying to pull off crazy wall jumps with nothing beneith you gets me excited.

Ninja X · « **Reply #11 on:** May 22, 2003, 01:40:03 PM »

Hmm...I could see this happening on GBA.

As for 3D Marios...only two true 3D Mario games have been released. One of them has been hailed by many as one of the best games ever. The other...did not live up to expectations. Wait for Mario 128...let's see what direction Nintendo is taking the series in before you truly start complaining about the 3D Marios. Most of you had to admit, Mario 64 is a damn great game. And I'm happy to admit Mario 64 is my favorite game of all time.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2003, 01:43:07 PM »

Yeah, those levels were mega fun in SMS. MEGA I say! A whole disc of them would be nice =D

SatansNemesis · « **Reply #13 on:** May 22, 2003, 02:06:11 PM »

I still haven't beaten some of the SMS bonus levels (too busy w/ school and WW) but they are awesome. A disk with those...and throw in random items, like some could have the water hose, others could have the racoon suit, others give you a super mushroom, the cape, a fire flower, or a starman. they chuck you into a SMS bonus style level and give you an item of some kind from the mario series and say "get from point A to point B with only this". That could hold some potential.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #14 on:** May 23, 2003, 06:48:37 AM »

Mario 64 does rule - can't dispute that. Problem is, it's so good that they pretty much killed the concept to the point that any sequel is fairly redundant and derivative.

K_Icyfire · « **Reply #15 on:** May 23, 2003, 10:54:12 AM »

is sms like sm64? cuz i hated sm64 and if its the same i'd probably hate sms. All i want is for super mario games to be more challenging like how they were in the smbworld and more linear. I hate all that freedom that they give you. thats why 2d would rock.

Uglydot · « **Reply #16 on:** May 23, 2003, 12:27:33 PM »

SMS gave you quite a bit of freedom, much like Mario 64. SMS was quite similar to Mario 64, but definatly harder in my book. The game was good, but I never ended up finishing it, got 59 shines or something.

A 2d Mario would be great, those levels were fun, but it would need to come with a stress ball...they were very frustrating. Always gave you a life too, so you had no reason to quit. Evil Nintendo.

NintendoKiD · « **Reply #17 on:** May 24, 2003, 11:09:45 AM »

The collecting of shines/stars and what not needs to go. Nintendo should go back to its old roots and release Super Mario World 4. It should be the most realistic Mario game ever released. It should have multiplayer features (no gba crap) Yoshi should be in the game, the Fire Plant, Cape, Racoon Suit, Frog Suit, Hammer Bros suit should all come back. Wario should be in the game but be on Bowser's side, and when you beat the game you can play through with Wario. Waluigi is a joke, dont add him. The Koopa Kids should come back, Mario and Luigi would each have different skills. Mario would jump higher but run slow, and have more powerful attacks. Luigi would jump lower, but longer, and have faster more agile attacks. This would put Nintendo right back up there where it belongs.

WesDawg · « **Reply #18 on:** May 24, 2003, 11:43:28 AM »

Yeah, I was thinking, it'd be crazy if they made something with the secret levels of Sunshine, but let you play it multiplayer, where you had to race to get to the end of the world or something. And putting back in the ol' Tanooki Suit/Fireballs/Etc. so it was a bit of a battle. Something like that would go over well I think, and it'd be kinda fresh and new.

GoldShadow1 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 24, 2003, 01:09:11 PM »

I'd like a new 2D Mario game, but I personally prefer 3D. There's simply nothing that can beat just running around Delphino Isle's main city and jumping on roof tops and pulling crazy backflips and triple jumps everywhere, not to mention the awe-inspiringly fun wall-jumping.

I'd love a game of just those kind of levels from SMS. Those were great. Just as long as the included a TON of them. And how about a level editor? Those were simple enough for one.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #20 on:** May 25, 2003, 12:09:04 AM »

I'd prefer 2d. There are things that simply can't be pulled off in 3d.
While on this, what about a Giana Sisters remake?

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #21 on:** May 25, 2003, 01:01:28 AM »

A different type of 3-D Mario, we've only seen Nintendo use the 'collect stars/shines from a few levels' forumla yet, I'm sure something a little more similar to the extra levels in Sunshine would be pretty cool.

"All i want is for super mario games to be more challenging like how they were in the smbworld and more linear. I hate all that freedom that they give you "

Most people who hated Mario 64 for that reason seemed to like Mario Sunshine a lot better.
The game is far more linear. There are even arrows that guide you along each mission and, at the start of the stage, it shows you exactly where you need to go. The greatest part of the game is the "secret levels", though, most of which are entirely linear.
Best of all, the red coins aren't annoyingly scattered everywhere like in Mario 64. They're usually in one distinct section of the levels. The game is definitly more challenging too.

I am hoping the next Mario game will be a side-scroller though.
I think it should be cel-shaded to capture the look of the NES/SNES games but also allow amazing 3D effects.

Ninja X · « **Reply #23 on:** May 26, 2003, 03:27:21 PM »

The exploration aspect in Sunshine was great...but from what Miyamoto has been saying, looks like we'll be seeing a 2D Mario soon.

Realism is not something often associated with Mario. And I hope you know the fire plant, cape, raccoon suit, frog suit, and the Hammer bros. suit have unrealistic effects. No one can just put on a cape and fly after a running start.
