I have this really interesting concept of a Mario game:
Super Mario Online.
The concept is simple. You create your own kind of plumber, whether a boy or girl, man or woman, human, or , even, Toad, and other species. You then are cast into the world of The Mushroom Kingdom, of which Bowser has been overthrown as the king of Darkness and has been replaced by:
Un-Mario, the complete oppisite of Mario. He creates humanoid robots which are stronger than most Mario enimies, and Mario and Luigi can't fight it alone.
You ahve four choices:
Join the ranks of Mario and Luigi to defeat Un-Mario
Join Un-Mario for Total World Dominance and Defeat The Mario Brothers
Join Bowser To Defeat un-Mario AND The mushroom kingdom to join the leauge of Bad Guys
Join Peach's defense army and defeat the onslaught of humaniods.
The service would be free, and would be the mix of Matrix Online and World of Warcraft. The entire game is gamer-controlled. You can choose what should happen depending on what side you choose and what your sides actions of become. Guild wars and side wars happen daily, and backstabs are normal.
There are many classes:
Super Plumbers: The Mario Lookalikes, which you can wear overalls, t-shirts, etc. Totally customizable.
Humaniods: The Un-mario's army
Koopa and Crooked Humans: Bowser's People
Toads: Peach's forces
The main characters:
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Un-Mario, and Bowser are totally controlled by a admin, and they lsiten to their whole side for what they should do next.
ALso, you can meet special NPC's, such as Donkey Kong, who gives you power bannanas which boost your level, Link, who resides in Hyrule, and you go there using a machine. Also, Samus and Fox are found, which you go there using a rocket ship.
SO, what do you guys think of this concept?
