Topic: Awesome idea

[poltergiest233]

OK what if nintendo would make a bowser rpg like paper mario? That would be awesome!

[nemo_83]

There is no reason to be milking characters.  People obviously want to play as Bowser, why not just make him a playable character in the next actual Mario Bros.  Didn't they tease playing as Bowser on the new DS Mario Bros sidescroller?

[Spak-Spang]

I actually like this idea.  Something along the lines of the GBA/DS Mario RPGs where some unusual outside source is threatening the Mushroom Kingdom.  Somehow Bowser ends up discovering how to destory the menace and goes out on an adventure.  Along the way, Mario and Luigi are trying to solve the problem too, but they see Bowser as evil and keep on getting in his way and stopping him.  

Towards the end, the Mario Brothers end up making everything worse, and Bowser last minute has to save the day.

But how do you make the experience different?  I say turn it into a blend of the Platform RPG that defines the Mario RPGs, and more turn based strategy like the Advance Wars and Fire Emblem series.

HOLY JESUS.

You should work for Nintendo!

I'd rather "Cooking With Bowser".

"Now let's put it in my mouth for 3 seconds.  BAM!  Cake is baked!"

Imagine what that would tast like... does Bowser brush his teeth?

A "Princess-Capturing Sim" sounds good to me.

[ThePerm]

hahaha sounds like mario multiplayer...instead of capture the flag...capture the princess.

bring back the fireflower

But it would be no fun with only one princess. In one-flag CTF the goal is usually in the enemy base which makes no sense for capturing someone. That's because it's easier to stop a player that has to get past you than one who has to get away from you.

I'll take Daisy.  The rest of you can have Princess Lana or whatever.

[Zach]

perhaps in a capture the flag type of thing you could have bowser try to capture princess peach, and mario try to capture baby bowser (or some character from bowsers realm)  OOH, Maybe you could have the flag (again princess or baby bowser) be a playable character, you would have to run away, and try to defend yourself from being captured.

[Spak-Spang]

Or just make it controlled by the CPU to run away and get back to the their castle.

heh, didn't Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars had bowser as a party member? I believe so. So that counts
