Mario is the face of Nintendo and when you think of that, you think of him. He has been in adventure, RPGs, sports game, party games, puzzle games, a Mario Kart Racing series, and yes even educational. The only difference that I can possibly think is that the education were developed by someone else and not Nintendo directly. And then there is Hotel Mario, the game that Nintendo had nothing to do with and was created for the Phillips CD-I. You would think he has done it all and there is just a question what else can be done. Before talking about Smash Bros., I consider it more of a Nintendo All Star game with some of its popular character. While I may not have ideas for adventure ones but I can possibly think of two possible spin-offs.
Super Mario Wrestling: It can also be just Mario Wrestling. It would be like those wrestling games you see out on games each with a special finisher. It would have Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser, Yoshi, and any other major Mario character. There would be a goal of becoming the World Champion and it could be done via tournament mode. It wouldn't need to have the storylines or anything like the Smackdown vs. Raw games because it just wouldn't make sense at all. A game like this wouldn't really need a plot to be perfectly honest.
Super Luigi: I can say why not and try to explore this one. This would be an adventure game but here's the idea behind it. It would be similar to the old Mario games of rescuing the Princess but this time let's have a different villain in the way. How about his evil counterpart Waluigi as the big boss? Make it seem like either a six or eight world game with three parts involved. While we are at it, how about Princess Daisy be the one that Luigi has to rescue? As far as power ups, let's give Luigi a different item instead of a fire flower and have a thunder bolt instead. More or less the plot could be Mario is on a vacation somewhere and was unavailable to answer a distress signal so Luigi goes ahead and takes up the challenge thinking this is his chance to get some recognition.
Super Mario Land Collection: The only thing I would update would be the colors and that would be it. You can put the original three if need be but mainly it would be the first two because in the third one, you play as Wario and Mario really isn't playing a major role in the game. Then again, it does bare the name Super Mario Land 3 but I digress. There have been remakes made of other Mario games and even one collection Super Mario All Stars. I say why not and go with this. This is another series that actually was pretty fun.
Super Mario All Stars Vol. 2: As we had two versions made, how about one with in the future games like Super Mario 64 and some of the other games in the Mario Adventures put into one making it a second collection. There is money to be made in this and it would be worth buying honestly. Nothing too fancy needed at all for it and can be like the first one made back on the Super Nintendo.
In the end, we should leave it to one company to get it done and that would be Nintendo. Do not allow someone else to build it otherwise it might turn out to be a disaster. It is pretty hard to think of some new games for Mario since it looks like just about everything has been done. These are just a few small ideas with a couple collections to be made.
