Mario has been in a few crossovers, like The olympics games and the Super Smash Bros. series.  However, what if he had an actual adventure crossover, like a Paper Mario game or an 3-D platformer game where he has to collect 120 shiny things along with Link,or Sly Cooper, or maybe with the Green Lantern?

It's either Nintendo vs. Capcom or Nintendo X Sega. Take your pick.

Definitely Mario/Sega crossover.  Sonic games are the second best games in the world (one below mario games) so a crossover of those two would be the ultimate awesome game of eternity.
Probably likes Sonic games better than anyone else on the fungi forums.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games = The Ultimate Awesome Game of Eternity?

If Mario were to crossover with any other main series in the Nintendo universe, it would be Kirby (or possibly Mother/Earthbound, but that's incredibly unlikely). Most of the other series are just too realistic.

Regardless, my money for a future crossover would be a proper Mario/Sonic crossover (as in, a real action/adventure game, with both companies collaborating).
If my son could decimate Lego cities with his genitals, I'd be [darn] proud.

No because that is also a crossover of something non gaming, the Olympic games (the example in the poll was Disney).  Thats more of a Mario/Sonic/Olympics crossover.  It has to be strictly the Mario and Sonic worlds and Characters put in preferably a racing or adventure format.

Wow, then... a game combining the crappy voice-acting and cheap deaths of the (3-D) Sonic series with Mario? Bring it on!

Smash Bros is enough. Mario's too bizarre-o a series to really mix with anything else. But, assuming that it could somehow work in theory, crossovers aren't the best thing in the world anyway... A spin-off would work better than a crossover adventure or RPG, though, because the plot wouldn't have to be hammered out to fit both sides. Look at the Subspace Emissary--kind of a mess, leans on Kirby more than anything, a lot of the characters' actions don't fit them, the very end lets you finally pick your players because a battle between everyone and Tabuu would be ridiculous, the crazed amount of silent protagonists trying to share the spotlight doesn't allow for dialogue (but thank goodness, we could have had some spectacularly bad dialogue), very few NPCs, and much much more. But then, you don't have to give the plot a second thought for why everyone is just trying to smash each other to oblivion. They just are. And it's fun. And that's why super Smash Bros. is as wonderful as it is.

Technically, Mario was made with the intention to be able to place him in anything. So, anythings possible.
I really don't care much for logic.

I dunno. The best fan-related attempt to mix Mario and Sonic is Super Mario Bros. Z, and that's mostly comprised of Mario RPG and Sonic Battle references, which if done in an official game would be quite the amazing experience.

They could make it more realistic while still fitting Mario's character, something like what they did in the Sonic Adventure series.

I think a proper Mario/Sonic crossover ("proper" meaning it actually has a story) would be nice, though getting it to work might be tricky. It's certainly doable.
We went to see them for the first time in 5 years because they were going away for 3 years.

I'm glad to see that Reading agrees with me.  I thought I would only get a bunch of "lolz" for saying a mario/sonic crossover.

Well, you do from me. I don't get what everyone sees in the games that makes them so perfect to cross. One's the mascot for Nintendo. One's the mascot for Sega. Nintendo and Sega and thus to a point Mario and Sonic used to go at each other (or at least in the fanboys' minds). Now Sega's out of the console business and so Nintendo and Sega are cool, as each helps the other make money. Buuuut big deal, that doesn't mean Mario and Sonic have to share a game.

Edit: Obviously this is all just my opinion. Don't get all angry about it.
