Obviously, some franchises are going to be affected by expectation creep more than others but I trust Nintendo will find the best way to innovate. I think more than any other publisher, Nintendo isn't afraid to shake up their formulas and rebuild things from scratch; after all, who would have thought that the follow up to the island vacation Mario game would have been Mario's trip to space or that the dark apocalypse Zelda would have been followed up by cartoony sea exploration. Change is the status quo at Nintendo. The fact that the younger devs have been taking on more managerial roles in the Switch era also signals to me that these series will be innovating and iterating for years to come.

What I’d like to see in 2D Mario is something that builds on Mario 2 (that weird one that’s basically a reskin of some other game where you pick up and throw enemies), and the Mario Land games. That would be fun to see. Although, I’m sure we’ll probably see an evolution of Mario Wonder. If you want a crazy experience play IndigoFenix’s Dwarf Fortress Mario mod. It’s a total conversion mod that adds in a bunch of stuff from Mario. It adds in Toads, Shy Guys, and Koopas as playable Fortress Mode races. They each play radically differently with the Shy Guys being the most similar to how Dwarfs play in the base game. Toads can’t stay underground for extended periods of time, so you’ll have to build above ground, and they’ll get most of their resources from trading with allies and Warp Pipes. Koopas are largely defensive because everyone HATES them since they’re constantly attacking everyone else. Theres Kongs in the mod and they’ll randomly kidnap people. It’s pretty wack. The guy was able to make this bizarre mashup between Dwarf Fortress and Mario that feels authentic to both. There’s a few videos on it. Hopefully, the guy is able to update the thing soon. It will be awesome to see the full thing completed for the Steam version.

They definitely could do more to innovate with Mario more. I think a big change would be having an entirely new villain, which would give us the ability to play as Bowser /Bowser jr. for the first time in a 2D Mario game(Mario maker was a costume). They would basically be easy mode character like Yoshi where smaller enemies can't hurt Bowser and Jr could use his shell to move faster like the Blue shell from DS which could lead to speed runs. Another big change has to be the bosses, If even a Disney game with one enemy type has better bosses than the one that considered the face of the medium, there's problem. There are so many ways to make it interesting but they don't to make as "Casual" as possible.
