One of the first-gen Wii U title is a Western-outsourced spin-off of Super Mario Bros. A M-rated hack-n-slash starring the antagonistic Bowser, the lead designer describe it as a "darker, violent, badbutt action game that is the antithesis of the Mario games. Something that older, action-game-loving people could enjoy." and justify the jarring tone shift with "I think it's important to give Bowser a total badbutt edge to be a potentially M-Rated game.". The game flops miserably, leading Nintendo to cancel an unannounced localisation of Mother 3 for the 3DS e-shop in order to recoup costs.

Mario gives up his life of adventure and settles down as the owner of a ranch.

Ever played Ocarina of Time? Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, looks just like Mario.

Mario becomes a Pokémon trainer.
To help get money for power ups.

Valve buys Nintendo and makes Super Mario Bros.:Source. The next Mario game takes years to come out, and it has an ARG.

...because the Mushroom Kingdom isn't already drowning in gold coins? And since when is Pokémon training known to be a well-paying career option?

Pokemon trainers can easily max out their wallet in less than a day, something Mario hasn't been able to do since TTYD.
