You all seem very close-minded about an M-rated Mario game. I, like some other posters here, would welcome a "Mature Mario" game, as long as it was good, and fun to play. But, cartoony, violent video games don't really sell well, as seen with the lackluster sales of "Conker's Bad Fur Day" for N64. I don't know how Conker for XBox is selling, though, so I may be proven wrong.
