Spin Offs - I don't know why all of you hate the Mario sports series. I think they're wonderful.
RPG - I really don't care. New Paper Mario or something would be cool.
Platformer - Yes, tons... thousands.
3D Main Series - I disagree with anyone saying that a main game can wait... No. I don't feel like waiting another 5 or 6 years for the next Mario adventure. I mean, SMB, SMB2, SMB:LL, and SMB3 all came out on the first system... Four!! Now it's SNES = SMW, N64 = Mario 64, GCN = Sunshine, Wii = Galaxy... one per year. Lame. They should have 2 per year. That would work out a little better so we don't twiddle our thumbs 'till Bowser thinks his next plot up.
Misc. - Whew... Luigi's Mansion 2? Eh.... I dunno.

Routinely? Or just that one?

Still, those old games were made by teams of like ten dudes while modern creations have hundreds of credited people.

I dunno about always, though... doesn't Naughty Dog still have only about 90 people?

I was thinking that since Mario has reached the final frontier (space)

If space is the final frontier, maybe in the next platformer they can go the opposite way and shrink Mario down to explore the microuniverse to jump around molecules and atoms. But that would probably result in the same gameplay as Super Mario Galaxy; Nintendo will most likely build the next Mario game around a new gameplay element rather than the setting.

They should make future Mario games play similarly to SMB3, but in full 3d, and perhaps with all of Mario's moves from SM64.

They could make it about parallel dimensions/multiple universes. Super Mario Universe would then be a fitting title.

Super Mario:
World===>Galaxy===>Universe
...is there a pattern, perhaps?

Actually, Land -> World -> Solar System (Sunshine) -> Galaxy -> Universe. Not that Sunshine actually covered a whole solar system, of course.

The way I see it:
Beach Resort (Sunshine) -> Kingdom (SMB) -> Land -> World -> Worlds (the different maps in SMB3) -> Galaxy -> Universe

I hope Nintendo thinks outside the box and makes the next game Super Mario Room.

The next big Mario game would probably not be on a handheld system, like the DS. Those games are small.

How ironic.

Well, nobody ever said that the area trend had to, or could be, or should be continued. When Galaxy's name was announced, I just thought of it as a nice revisit to that and nothing more. And, in Galaxy, Mario does not explore just one galaxy. Every LEVEL is a Galaxy, so you're effectively playing Super Mario Universe but with a better name. Super Mario World is named kind of weirdly, as well... but I suppose "world" has a different meaning in the realm of video games anyway, with every level in Super Mario 64 and every continent in SMB3 being called worlds. Or perhaps SMW was meant to be a huge twist in the way you play Mario games on the new Super NES: Super Mario Whirled! And some doof misspelled the title for the box and title screen.
