[@benjamincairns2680]

I created the entirety of Super Mario Bros. 3 in Super Mario Maker 2 (H1R-X6F-NRF if you want to play the first four worlds in world maker) and what I have learned is that they have withheld many of their tricks even from such an old game. Most notably the ability to use water and lava in multiple ways at different levels in different environments. Also doors the limits in doors make it hard to make maze levels. What I think should do for the next 2-D Mario is do a remix like the NES remix, but use all the mechanics and art styles from past 2-D in the same level in varying different ways and call it Old Super Mario Bros.

Syrup would be a perfect Rival/Wa for Peach, would make a cool trio with Wario and Waluigi, and by making them officially a trio she could appear and become a staple in the Mario spinoff games, and so Nintendo could redeem themselves for doing Syrup dirty back in Mario Tennis 64.

I think the most likely outcome for a new 2D Mario is quite simple: new core mechanics, new level themes, and new level “gimmicks”. The core formula is just fine, so I think they’re most likely to add to it and give it a fresh coat of paint. Because there is still one thing Mario Maker cannot do: create original mechanics.

I think they should add a new update once a year or so, until it has every feature and game ever made in 2d mario and then start adding new features with every update, then they could make a 3d mario maker with every 3d game ever with every feature, then add more new features. (And release each game with every console) Edit: they could add a story mode similar to mario maker 2 so it has levels packed in with the game already

The next step would be adding even more features and tools of course but the new thing would be that you can play as the villains and from their perspective Bowser, B. Jr, Wario, Waluigi, King Boo, Petey Piranha. The game starts with an original story that switches between eras where the villains are tampering with the past. After you beat the game then you unlock creating your own world to either "fix" or "continue" the villains agenda with the heroes. There can be secret world that upon beating them unlock abstract tools and features.

Watching this reminded me that this is not the first time that 2D Mario's gone on hiatus. The gap between Super Mario Land 2 and New Super Mario Bros. was a whole 14 years. (I'm not counting Yoshi's Island since that plays differently enough to be a Yoshi game instead of a Mario game.) All that was in between to keep 2D Mario fans satisfied were the GBC/GBA remakes and occasional ports of the original Super Mario Bros. It was a crazy dry spell in hindsight, and I have to wonder if instead of creating a massive overhaul, they might just drop it for another decade plus and bring it back when the NSMB fans are the perfect age to get nostalgic all over again. If nostalgia is what sells the games, then they might just let the cycle roll around a second time. Granted it would be a heck of a wasted opportunity, but it is a possibility.

If you want an ACTION cutscene, look at how you move the Snakeblock. There are arrows pointing to where you move it. You can choose who to move and where they are moving. It would give you a selection of actions such as stomping on a character, laughing, and so on. And another thing they should do is add different game styles for worlds you make.

i still think a lot about the 2d-ish sections in mario odyssey. i loved every single one of them and yet... i felt like they were kind of underutilized, like a whole game could be made out of a 2d mario platforming on the surfaces of 3d objects. i think that would be a great game, and a great future for the series.

[@Skyewardbound]

That's actually a great new place to take 2D Mario

[@emc246]

Maybe they could even have sections of levels move around controlled by the player. It would be a fun way to make variety in the game, and could even go farther to have things like levels switched between different worlds on the map similar to how NSMBDS had the weird extra levels.

[@KStarPR]

I think that a proper 2.5D Mario game with his full Odyssey moveset (aside from captures and stuff only possible in 3D) would make for a wonderful new basis. The thing that made the "New" series so great in the beginning was expanding Mario's movement potential, and using rolls, long jumps, and hat bounces/dives would really boost the possibilities for levels. Aside from that, I think they should take a look at how DKC Tropical Freeze handled its level themes, as the basic Mario level themes are kinda getting old. (Also I want better co-op and versus modes, something like the VS mode from New Super Mario Bros DS.)

Practically that wouldn’t change how Mario moves through the level, but visually it would change a lot. I would also love much more rich worlds, I always think of how cool it would be to run around New Donk City from Odyssey, and you gradually scale the tall buildings, and the fly through the air and see the city beneath you. Sure, it’s cool in 3D, but it would feel so much more refreshing for a 2D Mario game.

Arlo: “Where on earth could 2d Mario go!” Game Builder Garage: “Into it’s grave”

[@_jamescube]

I've never been very fond of the 2D Mario games, so I would love to see them make some drastic changes. The art style for one thing. The recent Donkey Kong Country and Rayman games (not to mention many other 2D sidescrollers) look leagues better than any 2D Mario released within the current millennium. Maybe they could use high grade pixel art, or hand-drawn animation, or maybe they could stick with 3D make it the most gorgeous 2.5D game ever made. New environments would also be much preferred. All the visual flourish in the world wouldn't help much if Mario just running through the same old grasslands, deserts, ice worlds, and lava worlds. Lastly, I'd like to see brand new power-ups and more than just one or two. A whole bunch of them. And make them more integral to the gameplay. Maybe even have a few that become permanent additions to Mario's moveset, lending a sense of progression that previous games have lacked.

[@metawarp7446]

Great comment. Better looks, a new style, new worlds, new abilities, a new progression system Man, that sounds like a great deal. Even if all that "new" is just minor. Minor changes might even be better. Let me add. a New story? You know, maybe Mario (and buddies) is saving someone/something else than the princess? I'd also like a new main villain. But all in all, Super Mario Bros shouldn't stride too far from simplicity. Simplicity is pretty mutch the foundation of Mario, from both thematic and gameplay perspectives.

They could definitely make one more story focused. Imagine 2D Mario running through Toad village like parkour or inside the castle random enemies everywhere the goal to reach the end without being overwhelmed. Better sub bosses like how about they go to their house to see Wario and Waluigi robbing them where you have to chase them down to get back the stuff he stole as they through random junk at you as an obstacle. More secrets and random permanent power ups to give you a reason to back track to old levels to find new secrets like how about in every ghost house there’s a big Boo that not afraid to look at you blocking a doorway so as you progress through the game you encounter E Gadd and have to buy the Poltergust so you can remove them. Adding in lots of mini boss stages like how about random encounters with Peter Piranha in a stage filled with piranha plants or fights with King Bob Omb or Goomba. I feel like there’s tons of meat left on the bones for 2D Mario they just aren’t changing up the formula enough. Like here’s another idea I had what about one where Bowser uses a magic wand to bring back the past and when you play a level it can randomly swap from the modern style to SMB1 or SMB3 or SMW with the physics from those respective games. Maybe even through in some new modern pixelated styles. The swaps could have like a weird wazy barrier where you can see some iconic characters or styles just in the border so you know what you’re jumping into right before you switch styles. They could also switch back and forth. Towards the end you could have a bowser boss rush where you beat him in every singles style of the games.
