A theory on SMG's story.

[Wii]

Come on guys, he's made a valid point here. You never now, his story may be close to what the true story line is. If anything, it'd make a well written story by itself.

I agree, it's a great story, but not for something we already know the storyline to.

[Kojinka]

Save the complicated storylines for the RPGs.  I think SMG's story will be the simple, yet classic "Peach gets kidnapped... again, and Mario goes off to save her... again."

PS. I think the main villain should be either Tatanga or a whole new character.  But I think it'd be fun if it was Bowser.  You know, for old times' sake. 
The Shroobs would make fun cameos.

Comment: What's the point in such wild speculation?

I agree. It seems silly just to make up a story for a game that won't be out for a long time, especially a game such as this.

What intrigues me that some people are criticizing this one topic where a fellow member is simply presenting an idea about SMG despite the myriad number of "Ideas for the next Super Smash Bros" topics peppered throughout the forums.

[The Chef]

SSB is a lot more idea-worthy.

[NintendoExpert89]

And SMG is not because...?

But really, I dislike how this is being criticized with these "pointless speculation" comments. This is just one topic; made because its creator wanted to share an idea about SMG.

Moreover, this won't be the storyline, and you'll feel betrayed when you find out the REAL story line.

So you don't think people will "feel betrayed" when like 95% of the characters they came up with won't appear in the character lineup for the next SSB (no offense)? It's just an idea. This is no different than the SSB topics all over the place, so there is no need to belittle this one.

[The Chef]

You know how many people wanted Wario and Pit in the next SSB? Guess what? They were in it.

[NintendoExpert89]

First off, there isn't any need to be a sarcastic smart alec. Second, I can't begin to tell you how irrelevent that statement is to the point I'm making. What I'm saying is that the existence of this one SMG speculation topic is criticized yet SSB speculation topics are made all the time. Why criticize it when it has the same premise of all of those: to simply present ideas about a future game?

Thank you, NintendoExpert. Oh, and as for the chef, Wario and Pit were the rather obvious choices. Wario especially.

[The Chef]

SOrry about what I siad, NE89. I just can't help it when an opportunity for a debate comes up.

Whoever said "Save the complicated stories for RPGs," I respectfully disagree...

If you ask me, Super Mario Sunshine had a somewhat complicated plot; Baby Bowser steals E. Gadd's paintbrush technology, he finds a special bandana that creates an illusion of Mario, and Bowser tricks him into thinking that Peach is his real mother.  But to kidnap Peach, Baby Bowser uses the paintbrush to pollute Isle Delfino to distract Mario, etc...

THAT is the most complex kidnapping scheme Bowser has ever used before.  What stops any of us from believing that Mario Galaxy will be even more complex?  And it's not really a platformer, it's more of an adventure game (IMO, a platformer is 2D).

[Kojinka]

A platformer can be in 3D.  SM64 is in 3D, but its platformer half has the same amount of charm that its adventure side has.  As for SMS, I kind of agree it had a somewhat complex plot.  However, because the full plot wasn't entirely in depth, I don't find it to be  very complicated.

As for SMG, they should put Luigi in it too.

Oh, and when I look at complex plot in a Mario game, I consider how big a reason the main bad guy has for kidnapping Peach, and how complex his/her scheme is.  If Peach is like a key for obtaining some world-conquering thing, and not simply because the bad guy has the hots for her, that's gonna invlove a nice, complicated plot.  Villains like the X-Nauts and the Shroobs have a goal similar to one of Bowser's, only on a much larger scale.  Instead of just the kingdom, these guys want to conquer the entire planet.

Actiuly, Bowser wants to rule The Mushroom Kingdom so he tries to marry Peach and force the Toads to do what he wants them to do for him.

[Kojinka]

Actually, it has been noted with canon evidence that Bowser indeed has the hots for Peach.  He indeed kidnaps Peach to force her into marrying him, so he could rule TMK, but I think there may be more to it hidden in the Koopa King's shell.

Actually, the monster needed some way to get the stars that held the star world together, but since the people of the star world were prepared for anything he might do to get the stars, he couldn't just get near the stars and grab them. He hypnotized Peach since, well, see was a princess, so why wouldn't they trust her? To bad the creature took advantge of this by hypnotizing her to steal the stars. After the Star-world drifted into pieces, Peach meant nothing to the creature, but he went through all the trouble of hi-jacking her space ship, so why not keep her? In my theory, Peach had already served her purpose.

I guess since because the creature had more of a purpose for kidnapping Peach other than love, I guess you could call my story complex.

I think Bowser is behind it all. He's always behind it!
