What Is The FUTURE Of 2D Mario Games?

[@ExtremeCacti]

I’m hoping for a new 2d Mario game called “Super Mario Bros Wonder” where Mario can become an elephant and all sorts of crazy stuff can happen. But idk that will probably never happen

[@jockson7574]

I’m also hoping for a game called super Mario odyssey to happen where Mario has his hat come to life and act like necrozma and possesses them while traveling throughout different kingdoms to stop a wedding on the moon. It’s never gonna happen tho

[@brendanlm]

Honestly I hope for a 3D Mario game called “Super Mario Dimensions”. My idea is that every Mario character from lots of universes such as the Mario & Luigi Series, Paper Mario, and Mini Mario, could be transported into one world, or Mario and Luigi travel different dimensions.

[@StevenJones851]

I'd like that idea too come true

[@Wildcardstudios64]

@Righteous 2k Mario and Luigi and paper Mario have met but not normal Mario and baby mario

[@botcakes]

it would also be dope if they had styles from all mario games (current mario, 64 mario ect)

[@versionsofmoddedminecraft]

Yeah, they already did that Mario galaxy super Mario galaxy 2 too

[@versionsofmoddedminecraft]

Also die from Mario 64, which goes to different painting dimensions so they already did that that idea

[@BlinksAwakening]

I do believe a new Mario of some sort will release this year, not only because of The Mario Movie would be great cross-promotion, but because it would be Great way to mirror the success of 2017, not only launching the next big Core Zelda title, but by also launching a new core Mario.

[@CraitMerc]

A brand new STYLIZED art style is a must. I'd love a beautiful painted look in similarish vein to Puss in Boots 2.

[@StevenJones851]

That would be Amazing

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

?What about the 3D world artstyle?

[@CraitMerc]

@@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4 Nah been there done that, plus it wouldn't give the game it's own identity.

That would be great, maybe have the game optionally animated on twos so people don't get stingy about "poor frame rate" 🤓🤓🤓

[@kieranstark7213]

If Nintendo stepped out of their comfort zone just like they used to in the 1990s - 2000s (and sometimes 2010s), that would make them leave luck to heaven once again!

[@hunterthorne4671]

Honestly, they could take so many cues from super paper Mario, literally the most unique 2d Mario ever.

[@Zack207]

I'm hoping the next 2d Mario game is a complete new rebrand even with a new villain maybe, and just an entire new type of story. New darker type of music, Mario could be in some alternate universe, and I think this would be an incredible launch title for the next console.

[@kieranstark7213]

Yes! Anything but another NSMB game! There already exists thousands of Super Mario games if you count the Super Mario hacks (my favourites are the ones with custom soundtracks and also original endings) and Nintendo could make another 2D Mario game in the graphical style of Super Mario World (okay. Maybe there is an idea for an NSMB game that doesn’t feel like the same game over and over again which while I respectfully disagree, some people actually like because it’s Mario/Nintendo even though they’re far from perfect)… New Super Mario World (not to be confused with the duologies by PinkGoldPeach and Bully Mario of the late 2010s (2016-2020) that are also examples of these SMW hacks).

[@kieranstark7213]

Unfortunately, despite how great it would be if Nintendo listened to the healthy portion of its fandom that actually wants to see 2D (and Maybw even 3D) Mario games with an also 2D animation style like Super Mario Bros. 3 (either the NES or SNES/GBA version) or Super Mario World 1 (or 2 (Yoshi’s for the SNES/GBA) or both) or Super Mario Bros. 2 with old and new ideas so Nintendo could give us what we loved about the old Super Mario games and expand upon them with new ideas, people would rather underrate those ideas in favour of the same NSMB games over and over again with their modernism which is why it’s gotten more and more over-saturated and made a (mostly) strong franchise like Mario look weak because of not one nor two nor even three but four (or five if counting NSMBW but for as difficult as it may become as it goes on, I guess you can say it is one of the better instalment of the franchise alongside (especially) the original because it does have a kickass soundtrack and sometimes surrealistic level designs that make it feel like it’s own game despite also borrowing heavily from the original).

One cool thing I always think about but never expect to Nintendo do is combining traditional Super Mario 2D structure with something like the Ori games, make Mario more story driven, even if it doesn't have dialogue but pure imagery, make 2D Mario cinematic with great landscapes, well, I hope this dream can come true...

[@jungle1517]

[@GameBlock_]

I think a new 2D Mario with one big level would be super cool, with hopefully an updated 2D moveset as well!

[@kieranstark7213]

But sadly, when it comes to 2D Mario games, it would be too interesting for Nintendo to do since the only 2D Super Mario games they’ve been giving us were the New Super Mario Bros. games from the late 2000s - 2010s (it was fun the first time, but it became the same game fast and it didn’t give Peach anything to do but wait for the Mario Bros. and Yellow & Blue Toads to rescue her when the least she could do was send them items like in the masterpiece (or at least just a great game in general regardless of the version) that is Super Mario Bros. 3 when *they* were working their butts off to save her and other female Mario characters didn’t get the spotlight (except for Toadette in NSMBUDX, which outside of Peachette, is the worst of the worst because with it in the late 2010s, the series had even less new things to offer than in 2012 with NSMB2 and NSMBU which credit where credit is due, the former at least had some interesting backgrounds/themes when it came to the special maps.).

[@Roctendo]

This has some good ideas. I know Super Mario Wonder has been announced at the time of this comment, but a 2D Mario with a hub world like Mario 64 could be cool, with you needing star coins to unlock boss battles, with normal levels still being sort of linear

[@xxx_rotfd_xiii_xii3619]

i really want them to do Mario Bros 4 and do a new pixelart style. i wouldnt mind metroidvania style mario game either.

[@Grapey123]

I think Idea 2, the hub, should also have online capability that doesn't require NSO. Maybe you could trade coins and power-ups, it would also make multiplayer easier and more fun as you could play with other players in the Hub.

[@co-benco]

i still want the feel of nsmb series. SLIGHTLY different artsyle and keep some of the old music. but change the story and mechanics

It could also be like super mario land two were there are different area's and you can even spend you're coins for lives and stuff

[@PlatinumAltaria]

I don't think Nintendo sees any such thing as "2D Mario". There are course-clear games, and more open 64-type games. 3D Land and 3D World were the most recent course-clear games, and their inclusion in Mario Maker 2 makes me think that Nintendo definitely thinks of these as being the next games in that lineage. So, the next 2D game will probably be 3D.

The next Mario game could use amiibos to unlock new power ups and levels. The next Mario game will be text based ; Mario see a hammer. What do you want to do? I take the hammer. You can't reach the hammer.

[@qr-eh9es]

i thought your idea about coins and power-up upgrading was so cool ！ dang, that sounded pretty cool. coins would be better.

[@nebby3]

A Mario Metroidvania sounds like a dream come true. Backtracking is common but it's not tedious because you unlock moves that make traversal easier.

[@INFERNO95]

Mario is not a Metroid game nor a castlevania game.

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I think they would modernise the NSMB series first before doing leap in the franchise. The art style won’t be stylised since Nintendo haven’t done it for the series. In addition, other stylised game exist already like Yoshi and Kirby. Therefore, I think a 3D world like art style is more likely and for the better, just like you said. For move wise, they can port all move from 3D world like long jumps and backflip(sideflip won’t be there since Nintendo haven’t brother to add it in maker 2). Let me talk about the gameplay, I think they’re gonna stuck with 2D mario like NSMBU but to shake it up a bit. New power up like the poison flower or super bone might get introduce. You can use the super bone to turn Mario into dog Mario, it can let Mario walk on ceilings and comes with a wipe attack. Another one is the poison flower, it let Mario shoot poison ball that make emeries became poisoned and not exist after a while, the average is you can attack a bunch of emeries before the ball runs out. 100 coins now grant a life and a power up to make coins worthwhile. The life system only let you store 9 life and only reset star coin instead of level progress as a trade off. Each world of the game have a similar theme to NSMBU with a twist, like a red desert or a fall forest. The power up storing system would now have item number instead of slot like Bowser’s Fury and can have 1 power up that can be brought to the level as well as for storing power-up collected.(A mix of SMB3 and SMW system) More emeries will be returned and introduced like shy guy(You can pick up them unlike goombas and can be thrown or the goo loomba(replaced goombas in the later level), they can be picked up. Not to mention the spin jump from NSMBWii and 3D world both returns, with the 3D world one renamed to charged spin jump to avoid confusion to the NSMB spin jump and can spin in mid-air if you twirl while pressing up. For lack of difficulty, Mario should always be accessible, they should have the same difficulty as NSMBU, bring back special remixed level for 3D land so more experienced player can have a better experience.

[@Silver4G]

Imagine if they added more alternate routes and if the levels aren’t just a straight line, The gimmicks might be a bit harder to tackle with that but it would still be cool

[@blueboytube]

But like imagine that whole “one giant level” idea but like Odyssey where you travel to a hand full of huge levels full of collectables. Basically Odyssey in 2D

[@halvanjoe8566]

If I’m understanding this correctly, the ideas you come with would essentially just turn 2D Mario into a Metroidvania. I don’t think one big map would be good for 2D Mario, but who knows, it hasn’t happened yet xd

[@tylerb.gaming762]

I would love to see a Mario go the sonic mania route. Remastered Mario world sprite art, Returning worlds and level gimmicks and power ups but with brand new worlds power ups and gimmicks. And I definitely hope this game would be more challenging and the level design would contain tight platforming. If only Nintendo didn’t kill all its fan projects then around Odysseys release we would have a Mario mania if you will. I know nsmb has already so much fan service but this would be kinda different

[@julianx2rl]

Like that last idea, is kind of like Sonic's Open Zone where they spread a lot of linear challenges inside an open area.

[@julianx2rl]

Wait, no backtracking? Then what's even the point of this?! Mario games are segmented in levels so that you can go back and replay any part of the game specifically after you beat it. Metroidvanias are open so that you get to gather resources to explore new areas as well as exploring familiar areas more deeply. But with this weird mesh, you loose the ability to play specific stages, AND you don't even get the Metroidvania immersion because you're essentially still going in a straight line! It's all of the downsides with none of the advantages of each one!
