Mario

So, what do you actually want to see in the next mainline Mario game?

a proper 3d game like 64 or sunshine

a sequel to 3D World, but with more elements from SM64 thrown in (along with some "open"-style level designs), as 3DW was mostly 2D Mario with some SMG segments.

Super Mario: Toad Force, where you play as a bunch of Toads in mechs playing soccer.

>proper

compared to 3d world

Peach naked

Or galaxy or galaxy 2

What said
A star-collecting game like 64 and Galaxy

...

I came in this thread to say the same thing said.
fpbp.
There's something utterly charming to me in that formula, and even though Sunshine is my favorite out of the two, I like 64's way of doing things a lot, with most stars available from the get-go, and only sometimes a star with koopa the quick will appear, or something in the level will change as you collect a star.

What kind of wizardry is this?

>people unironically like Sunshine
Why?
Its level design and platforming, the 2 most important aspects of a Mario game, are awful.

...

It was the most different 3d Mario platform, and that's what people want: something different

3D world was pretty different

but 3D World is nu-tendo so it's automatically shit!

A big, free roaming adventure like Mario Sunshine. Fuck 3D World and NSMB

Characters that aren't generic fuckwads.
how about characters like Wario, Waluigi, Boshi, Captain Syrup, Mona, Wart, DK, Tatanga, Totomesu, Pauline, etc.

NEW characters. How about that?

Creative worlds that aren't homogenized "grass, water, desert, etc"

Bowser can still be the villain, but how about a little more creativity with the story?

I know none of this will happen. Mario is fuckin dead, man.

so what you want is everything that Mario isn't?

More like everything that Mario used to be, junior.

Not to the extent that you described, no

True, it was, and people liked it.
