Chef, you are not pathetic. In fact, I'd say we are sailing in the same boat.

Like I said, I have only put up a fraction of my ideas. Many of them are similar to yours. Many of the episodes in my idea will be either original plots or clusters of episodes based on games (Such as Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Super Paper Mario, etc).

Like you, I am also thinking of including specials and movies. The Mario Kart special that I had in mind would involve someone making a mechanical racecar that has the driving skills worthy of 100 gold trophies. Unfortunately it has an extra feature: a huge bomb that will go off if it finishes first in an upcoming race. This would force the good guys to aim for first place in order to prevent harm from coming to the spectators. However, the badder racers (Such as Bowser and Wario) cheat by using weapons and such (that ought to add a whole new degree of difficulty).

I also do plan to include Pauline. She will be Mario's old girlfriend from Brooklyn. This would cause a big set of problems for Mario's relationship with Peach because even though he and Pauline are staying friends, they act like they're engaged or something.

One thing I came up with was taking Non-Canon characters and giving them a place. My best one is my idea for Metal Mario. He will be a being from another planet entirely. After landing like a meteor, he decides to go around and battle literally anybody to show off how powerful he is. His character could be compared to Doomsday (The DC character famous for killing Superman). He can give even Bowser a punch that could send him across his castle and he can take as much as he recieves. His only weaknesses seem to be his mind (he always acts and rarely thinks) and his weight (throw him in a lake and he'll sink to the bottom). He will get his name from the residents of the Mushroom Kingdom because he just happens to look almost exactly like Mario.

You have some good ideas too. You wouldn't happen to have anymore, would you? They sound great!

How will the Warioware characters fit into this?

I'm thinking of taking it slowly.

Wario and Waluigi will eventually appear as two Brooklyn plumbers who have saved up enough money to accomplish a childhood dream: building a castle. But they don't know where to build it. It is only after they witness the Marios going down the warp pipe that they follow them and decide to build it in the Mushroom Kingdom. (In case you were wondering, Wario and Waluigi will mainly be the same as we know them: Vain, Greedy, and Stupid. Also, poor Waluigi won't get any powers, but Wario will get his famous Herculean strength)

(Note: The WarioWare characters will mainly interact with Wario, but will occasionally interact with the Mario characters from time to time)

Mona is a girl living alone in Brooklyn with a job at Mona Pizza. However, the money's not making much of a difference. As a result, she loses her apartment. However, upon learning this, Wario does probably the only nice thing in his life. He lets her live with him in his castle in the Mushroom Kingdom. (Mona will play the role of the straight man(girl?) to Wario and Waluigi. Also, for the Wario/Mona shippers, I will imply a relation between them. Other than that, she will mostly be the same)

Jimmy T. will also be from Brooklyn. However, he becomes good friends with the Wario gang and ends up going to the Mushroom Kingdom from time to time. There will be no major changes to his character.

The other WarioWare characters will be Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants.

Ashley and Red will mostly stay the same. However, I will expand upon Ashley's personality a bit. She will become a little more likable and will smile more often (Don't get angry so soon. When Ashley smiles, things happen). I also wish to add a little more humor to her character by making her addicted to chocolate. (I pity the fool who tries to eat Ashley's candy bar)

Dr. Crygor, Mike, Dribble, Spitz, Orbulon, Kat, and Ana will be exactly the same as we know them. Once I know a little more about her, I will consider adding Penny to the bunch. (I only own WarioWare: Touched. I have never played any other WarioWare games. I want to though...I especially want Smooth Moves to add to my small Wii collection)

I'm not sure if Young Cricket should be in there. However, since I have yet to even play Smooth Moves, this is subject to change.

I'm also trying to figure if 9-Volt and 18-Volt should have a place too.

But for sure, Wario will eventually gain his alter-ego: Wario-Man!

Man...I forgot how much I had actually gone and planned. But anyway, I hope this sounds good.

Ah, a new Mario cartoon would pretty cool!

I like that plan Jordan, though maybe not the Teen Titans-esque part of it.. I never really liked how Teen Titans tried so hard to look anime when clearly it wasn't.

If it were done in the Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga style on the other hand, I'd be all for it. :)

I have actually planned for the character designs to reflect the Mario & Luigi style.

Don't worry. It wouldn't be much like Teen Titans (I just needed something to compare it to). You could imagine a Western animation style similar to Teen Titans, but with WAY less anime elements. The most you could expect to see would be my idea for Luigi's scared/freaked out look: tiny pupils and a mouth so wide open it is almost as big as his head (Wellll...that and Daisy pulling a baseball bat out of hammerspace). Other than that, anime elements would be kept to a bare minimal.

By the way, it's not Jordan. I made my name by combining parts of my first and middle name (Joseph Daniel Navarrete). Jo + Dan = Jodan. I also thought adding 007 sounded cool. I'm not mad or anything...I just thought I'd point that out.

I'm actually planning to one day make a Mario Bros. cartoon. I'm not gonna lie...I'm still hammering out many details, but it should please many people in different ways.

This is gonna be long, but bear with me. I have been working on it and it gets me excited to talk about it.

I haven't decided on a true title, but I'm considering just "Adventures of the Super Mario Bros."

It would be based more on the games than the previous cartoons.

The premise of the show would be about our two favorite plumbers from Brooklyn finding a big green pipe in their backyard, accidentally falling in, and coming out in a completely different world known as the Mushroom Kingdom.

I plan for it to have a lot of episodes with original storylines. However, there will also be groups of episodes joined by one storyline. These groups will be known as "Chapters" in the entire storyline of the show. Practically all of these will be based on the games. (For example, the "Super Mario Bros." chapter will take place from the first episode (where Mario and Luigi discover the Mushroom Kingdom) to the episode where they rescue Princess Peach.)

I plan for the show to be aimed at a target audience of about 7 or so years or older. It would probably have animation similar to Teen Titans (Western style animation with occasional Anime tidbits). The show will also be more action oriented and more violent than previous stuff. (Kinda like a toned down Dragonball Z)

By just existing in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario and Luigi will gain special powers. Mario will get enhanced strength and the famous ability to shoot fire from his hands. Luigi will gain enhanced leg strength, enabling him to run faster and jump higher. However, they lose these powers whenever they return to Brooklyn.

And did I mention characters!? Since it will be based heavily on the games, it will probably be host to a ton of the already existing characters.

For example, just to name the main ones, we have Mario (the only man who will stare a fire breathing monster right in the eye if an innocent princess is involved), Luigi (just as much determination as his brother...until he gets a good look at what all the toads are afraid of), Peach (the kind ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom who seems to also have an eye for heroic plumbers), Daisy (tomboyish, sassy, quick to anger, and the only princess that carries a baseball bat wherever she goes), and Bowser (the ruler of the Koopa Kingdom with a soft spot for Peach).

I also wish to include Bowser Jr. as a character. Now before I get attacked by Jr. haters, let me say that I will also include some certain other characters...7 certain other characters...give up?? (Dramatic pause) THE KOOPALINGS!!!

There will also be many others, as well as very few original characters of mine. One being the Goomba Commander (the overly confident (but still a shrimp) head of Bowser's goomba army. An orange goomba with a grey gladiator helmet that makes him look like a crushed Marvin the Martian when he gets stomped on.)

Here is a list of voice actors that I think will do good. If the actor's name has a (?) next to it, it means that I'm thinking about it. I haven't even decided on some.

Mario: Jeff Bennett
Luigi: (I could try to do his voice in a slight Bruce Campbell-esque style)
Peach: Hynden Walch (?) (Starfire's voice actor on Teen Titans)
Daisy: Tara Strong
Bowser: (I practice his voice a lot. Hope I could voice him.)
Kamek: Rodger Bumpass (Squidward's voice actor on SpongeBob SquarePants)
General Guy: John DiMaggio(?) Maybe, Maybe not.
Goomba Commander: Patrick Warburton
Wario: (My best friend can do a good Wario voice...but if not him...) Jim Cummings (?)
Waluigi: Jim Cummings (?)
Mona: Ashley Johnson (Terra's voice actor on Teen Titans)
Ashley: Tara Strong
Red: Undecided
Jimmy T.: Kevin Michael Richardson
Bowser Jr.: Tara Strong
Larry Koopa: Undecided
Wendy O. Koopa: (Possibly her (Kootie Pie's) voice actor from the previous shows)
Iggy Koopa: Undecided (I want to voice him)
Lemmy Koopa: Undecided (I want to voice him. Possibly in a hippie accent(?))
Morton Koopa Jr.: Jason Marsden(?) or Billy West(?)
Roy Koopa: (Possibly his (Bully's) voice actor from the previous shows)
Ludwig Von Koopa: Will Friedle
Yoshi: (Frank Welker might be good)

These are just a fraction of all my ideas. I would like to hear what other people think. Would it be worth watching or is it junk. I only have my own opinion, my best friend's, and possibly one other person's. I could also use suggestions or constructive criticism.
