my weird mario dream game

i want a new mario, for gamecube. its really cool. but beware of long explanations below...

*Story- upon returning from Isle delfino, mario is flabbergasted to see the Mushroom kingdom overrun with bad guys. It seems that 12 of Bowser's henchmen took the land while mario was away.
These 12 took each region of the kingdom
1. Donut Plains
2. Vanilla Dome
3. Fire Mountain
4. Ice Archipelago
5. Rocky Ridge
6. Soda Lake
7. Forest of Illusions
8. Skyland
9.Chocalate Island
10. Butter Bridge
11. Star Road
12. Valley of Bowser

Peach tells Mario to restore the land, but just as she does, bam! that Magician dude from Yoshi's Island takes her to bowser's castle. You must rid the land of the badguys and rescue the Princess

Elements: First i want to it to boast really strong polygonal characters, the catch is i want it 2D. Yes you heard me, i want a polygonal side scroller. Next, i want to abandon the searching for whole stars. He must just get through the level. Each region is broken down into 8 areas (a la Super Mario world). Half way through each region is a ghost house (yay). But at the end of the house, you must beat a boss ghost. Also, there are several ways to beat the level that can bring you to different secret areas or pipes to cut your journey down. Another emphasis is the jumping skills that he learned. There are many platforms in each level that he must cross. Some of you may think this is Super Mario World, but one thing i want to get rid of is different suits. Just small mario (1 hit, your dead). But when you get a mushroom you get bigger and you get one more hit. You can also store up to three mushrooms, each time your hit, one will fall from the top of the screen. Another thing is the return of Luigi + more yoshi.

Ok that's it! whaddya think?

Yeah, the return of Platformers! I think it would be nice to see a Mario game in it's real Platforming perspective, like in Viewtiful Joe. And I would love to see the return of those Donut Plains.

I thought most of those regions were on Dinosaur Island, not the Mushroom Kingdom...hmmm

Meh, that's sounds like a great game idea... now to telepathically make Nintendo get this idea...

*Strains with all his might*

Wow that game idea looks cool! Go and tell Miyamoto!

Easier said than done, Link14 :rolleyes:

I think it's a great idea, but I'm just not sure how well the game would work that way. Maybe if it was a quasi-platformer ala Wario World, it would work out better.

I think if it was like the Super Smash Bros. Melee adventure mode, where the level looks 3D but moves left to right would be good for that game, another classic platformer would be great!

I don’t think it would be accepted well by the gaming public though, it's more of a leap back than a leap forward for the Cube. Maybe if it was on the GBA, of course, without the amazing Cube graphics.
Really nice idea though.

think about it though. remember when Wind Waker was first introduced. a lot of people didn't welcome it too much. but it turned out great. im near positive thats what could happen with this.

It's not nessecarily a leap back... just a leap sideways, if you will. A different style, neither inferior nor superior.

Of course, the general gaming public (aka complete idiots) would think of it as a step backwards, you're right.


Personally, I've thought for years that they should make a 2D Mario game, for the N64, then when it came out, the GC.

I think that while a 2D Mario game could easily surpass SM64 and SMS, what they really need to do is make a real 3D platformer, with gameplay similar to the retro levels in SMS, only it has to really take advantage of the third dimension; there's no point in 3D if the same thign can be done in 2D.

That sounds like a great game, and definitly more yoshi. would yoshi do some of the same stuff like in super mario world like were he could fly if he had a blue shell in his mouth?

There we go, "aka complete idiots", that's what I'm talking about. Gamers that judge a game by its looks and not by the gameplay.
My god these people are of the majority these day's.

Now though, it could probably sell if it were to be released at a budget price.

And l-o-s, your idea about a 2D Mario game for the 64, I thought I was the only one.................
