List possible futures for the Mario series.
I'll start: Mario becomes a zombie.
-
Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word possible that I wasn't previously aware of, but I'll play along. Mario becomes a zombie shooter.
-
1. It stays exactly the way it is.
-
Maybe he goes into Hyrule?
-
1. It stays exactly the way it is.
Ah, but all of the great games innovated!
-
By staying exactly where they were.
-
True, true. However, a new direction may help postpone the end of Mario's "rule" of video games. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Mario, but something else will rule someday. One horrid day.
-
No it won't.
-
Eh, you're a mod, I won't argue anymore.
-
Yes you will.
-
The Chef likes to argue. You could probably flip your argument and he'd still argue against you. I might say he's a devil's advocate, but I don't think he advocates for anything.
If this thread had been in Forum Games I think you would have got a lot more creative responses. I'll treat it as if it were and show how I envisioned the thread going:
- Mario becomes a zombie.
- Mario becomes a zombie shooter.
- Mario becomes a first-person shooter. (See signature below.)
- Mario uses paintballs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o51ae4VoOZw
- Mario becomes a first-person zombie shooter using paintballs that cure the zombies in a new RPG from Nintendo.
I don't seriously think this will happen, but I can imagine Bowser turning most of TMK into zombies. Mario gets the cure, but can't get close to the zombies or they will turn him into a zombie so he uses paintballs to cure them. It takes three body shots or one headshot (instant cure) for generic zombies. Bosses take more shots or shots to specific areas. Along the way Mario has to collect paintballs, air, etc, and help specific cure zombies. Bowser is the final boss. Mario defeats Bowser, but in the battle loses his paintball Fluud (or other non-gun name) and cures Peach with a kiss.
-
Doesn't anyone remember Yoshi's safari?
-
Yes, and I'd actually like a sequel to that. But it's not a main Mario game, it's a single spin-off from 1993. Therefore it doesn't reflect the future of the series, and they likely won't make it.
-
Well, I meant stop posting FPS, because, then it won't change. Also, can someone move this?
-
Where?
-
Read Luigisons post
-
Moved.
Mario becomes a plumber.
I know he is generally referred to as a plumber, but Nintendo wants to steer away from that moniker. Regardless, this is in forum games now so I'll consider it a possible future.
Hello:), can you elaborate on your Zombie idea or do you have something new to add?
-
Well, he gets a defective 1-up, dies, and becomes a zombie.
(He doesn't die because of the mushroom.)
-
That's an interesting idea. I was thinking he'd get bit by a zombie, but a mushroom would be more Marioesque.
Also, I change the title to include Mario since this is now in forum games. This should reduce the number of flying car and jetpack posts unless Mario is using them.
-
Thanks
-
defective 1-up
1-Down?
Which also opens up the possibility of 1-Left and 1-Right Mushrooms.
-
No, a poison up
-
Wario can turn into a zombie in Wario Land 2, 3 and 4 if he gets bitten by a zombie.
-
Mario fan theories. Wa- clones can only be zombified by a bite, but Mario is only affected by a mushroom.
-
Wrong thread, buddy.
-
I just mean that it has to do with that thread, not that I want it to be there.
Can we please go back to the thread?
-
If it has to do with that thread, it belongs in that thread.
-
Can we please go back to the thread?
-
Assuming you're speaking of this very thread, I wasn't aware we left it. We both seem to still be here.
-
1-Down?
Which also opens up the possibility of 1-Left and 1-Right Mushrooms.
If Mario gets a 1-Up after having a 1-Down does he get an extra life and/or turn to normal Mario? That is, would a 1-Up Mushroom cure a zombie?
The 1-Left and 1-Right Mushrooms could have a temporary effect similar to the left or right d-pad being stuck down. Taking it a step further, a 1-Left-Up Mushroom could have the effect of the left d-pad being stuck up or unpressable for a short amount of time.
Do people doing speed runs hold down the right d-pad the whole time or do they use tape, glue, solder, etc?
-
Can we please go back to the topic?
-
Instead of posting the exact same thing repeatedly can you please post on the topic yourself?
-
Hello, you're being more bobbysq than me.
-
Sure
Mario goes to Hyrule
He goes into a time portal, goes back in time, and figures out that Bowser and Ganon are working together.
It follows the Pokemon route, but instead of minor changes, one has a Mario style, and the other has a Zelda style.
-
I have absolutely no idea why you wrote that post in the format of the Silly Fan Theories thread nor do I understand what that second sentence is supposed to mean.
-
I believe he means that there will be two versions of the game like the way there are with most Pokemon games. In version of the game the graphics will look like a Mario style and the other will look like a Zelda style. I'm imagining Superstar Saga and A Link to the Past.
-
I mean gameplay, and why can't I bold the topic?
-
You can only bold your topic header in fan theory threads
Otherwise the universe will implode.
-
Hm. Apparently that theory was wrong.
-
I didn't say he couldn't. I just didn't understand why.
-
Because this is my thread, and I want to do it like that.
-
Territorial aren't we?
-
Poochy will get his own game
As soon as he gets back from college
-
Obedience school?
-
Theoretical physics! Poochy ain't stupid!
-
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.
-
I see what you did there.
-
Took me a moment, but I see it too.
-
Word is Miyamoto liked my idea. :B
-
I don't see it, sorry.
-
Ever played Ocarina of Time? Talon, the owner of Lon Lon Ranch, looks just like Mario.
-
Oh.
Ohhhhhhh.
-
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.
-
Mario becomes a Pokémon trainer.
To help get money for power ups.
...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.
-
New Super Mario Bros. 2?
-
Inflation.
-
Mario becomes half a monkey.
And is renamed Goku.
-
Nintendo already has a Goku:

-
Perhaps that's what he was referencing.
-
No.
-
The Chef becomes the newest villain.
He teams up with marioguy, and the game takes place in the FF.
-
I let it happen
And laugh the entire time
-
I thought the thread was about possible Mario futures, not possible Fungi Forums futures.
And if I were to become a supervillain, marioguy is the last person I'd team up with.
-
I meant Mario's in the FF
Bowser becomes a good guy.
Only Fred Tatanga is a bad guy
-
Disney acquires Nintendo. Mario becomes a prince.
Nintendo acquires Sega. Sonic joins the Mario universe.
Nintendo goes third-party. Mario doesn't change, but is available everywhere.
-
Mario joins Star Fox.
He was good friends with James McCloud. Then he joined forces with Fox.
-
Yes, because we all know Mario regularly hangs around the Lylat System.
-
Stop Chef, you're making me very insecure about the Star Fox/Mario fan fic I'm writing.
Also, someone hasn't played Super Smash Bros.
-
James McCloud isn't in Smash Bros. though.
And I thought as of Brawl they made it abundantly clear that Smash Bros. is set in the "Trophyverse" or whatever you wanna call it.
-
I'm a fan of companies whose individual series are canon to each other, personally. I've said it before, for Nintendo it's Mario that's hardest to locate with respect to everything else...
-
My silly prediction for Mario's future:
*Colonel KR stares into his conveniently located crystal ball.*
I see... I see...
Disney buys Nintendo, and the first game they launch is... MARIO MOUSE CLUB (Cue Psycho theme)!!!

-
Perish the thought.
-
I strongly encourage you to.
-
In 2027 they make a throwback game to NSMBDS, as NSMBDS supposedly was for SMB
And they call it New New Super Mario Bros. A new new sub-subseries is born.
-
THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!!
-
Mario gets a gun and shoots people, so edgy and cool.
-
Mario becomes old and bowser becomes old and everyone becomes old and the strangest Super Smash Brothers game is made.

KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN WORLD 1-1
Miyamoto retires and all the employees of Nintendo are too afraid to do anything without him.
His vengeful spirit smites anyone who dares propose the slightest inkling of a story in future Mario games.
-
Mario becomes a heifer at a diary farm.
-
Mario starts an eventually ultra popular three person band with Luigi and Yoshi, but the fame coupled with his intense addiction to mushrooms forces him to commit suicide by shooting himself through the head with a Bullet Bill. Some of Mario's more suspicious fans claim he was actually murdered by Princess Peach.
-
Mario: You Know You're Right
Peach: Let's talk about someone else
Mario: Dough, Ray, and Me
-
Mario becomes a MURDERER!
He was driven to the brink of insanity and massacres the Toad population!
-
you're clever
-
The Toads now how have to contemplate living in a world where their former protector slaughters them on sight.
-
Mario becomes a simulation series
Mario becomes tired of his normal life, and lives a normal life.
-
What would they do with Animal Crossing then, make it fun?
-
"Let'sa go fishing! Hee hee hee!"
