Something new on consoles; a new 3D Land for handheld.

 

[Delstius]

D. Whatever they want to make honestly.

 

[Booker.DeWitt]

 

[zogged]

Something new, Mario has become way too stagnant as of late

 

[falconxcrunner09]

Spoiler

Super Mario Sunshine 2

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Doesn't matter, all of the options A, B, C and D would be amazing if executed well, and, to be frank, if there's one thing Nintendo knows how to pull off, it's 3D Mario games.

 

[Rodin]

Neither. I'd much rather see a new direction or a return to 64 formula, evolved thanks to the possibilities offered by modern hardware. But if i have to choose between these two, Galaxy 3.

So basically D>C>A>B

 

[VistraNorrez]

Nintendo will give everyone what they want with Super Mario 3D Galaxy

 

[Infernostew]

Something different. Mixed it up a bit like Sunshine.

 

[Weng]

Super Mario 64 moveset, 3D World platforming and power-ups, Galaxy scale and variety with a few 64-like levels.

 

[Sakura]

I didn't like Galaxy, so I'd go with B.
I would also be ok with C or D.

 

[wild wild rice]

Whatever the team is most inspired to make.

 

[Anth0ny]

B would really be Super Mario 3D Land 3. So I'd take Galaxy 3, all day.



But Mario 64-2 is a dream game of mine. So that.

 

[weekev]

Option D: give Mario to the Garage guys and ask them to create something original.

 

[BigMoose]

Honestly, I'll take any of the 4 options at this point. I just need a new 3D Mario and I'll be happy.

 

[Tain]

3D World is better than Galaxy by a whole lot, so that's where I'd lean. Though I'm told I should play Galaxy 2!

 

[Orakio Rob]

D for sure. I'm one of those weird guys that don't like Mario Galaxy, and even though I liked 3D World, it felt boring to me after a few hours.

 

[Chibot]

Mario Galaxy 3, but set in the realm of SMB2.

 

[Succinct Verbosity]

The thing I like about 3D Mario is that I honestly have no idea where they'll take the franchise and what new features they'll implement. Every 3D mario is unique and there certainly isn;t anything mechanically recyled about them, so I'd rather they avoid sequels and shock us ith games as different as Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy.

I would rather they ditch co-op in 3D Mario though.

 

[imBask]

whichever doesn't force me to wiggle my hands around

 

[traveler]

Moveset of 64 with levels that actually require it (unlike 64), level design of the Galaxy games, difficulty of Sunshine secret levels/Galaxy and 3D post game content, new aesthetic/conceit.

 

[James Scott]

3D World is really good, but Galaxy is a masterpiece.
That being said, Galaxy doesn't look very Mario-y. Making a new Galaxy game with Rosalina as the protagonist could allow for new ideas and would not limit the game idea wise.
They've done enough with the Mario 3D formula, I feel. A full blow sequel with multiplayer on more powerful hardware.
I'd like the to continue the Mario series allowing it to evolve.
But I also want more Galaxy games so Rosalina Universe/Galaxy is what I want to see eventually. Solves a lot of issues for them too

 

[Blobbers]

Mario 64 REmake in Unreal 4

or

something new

 

[eXistor]

Larger scale and more open like Mario 64/Sunshine. It's time for one of those again. I guess Mario 64-2 is the closest to what I want. I'd like the world to be seamless though.

Either that or something new.

 

[Kandinsky]

Even if I found Mario Galaxy games boring in their second halves, and 3DW better overall, I'd still want a single player focused game, so Galaxy 3.

Spoiler

gimme 64-2 tho please.

 

[Pila]

D.

It's Mario, it's gotta change.

 

[Orakio Rob]

I would rather they ditch co-op in 3D Mario though.

This this this this!

 

[Shikamaru Ninja]

I've been publicly promoting my idea to Nintendo for years, Super Mario Brooklyn. When the mushroom kingdom invades Brooklyn, only Mario and Luigi can save their hometown. Maybe Mario can butt-stomp on some hipsters while he is at it. (Galaxy style game play please)

 

[Servbot24]

Something new. Galaxy said what it had to say.

 

[Nocturnowl]

D with shades of C if that makes sense.

As for the original two options, Galaxy 3 all the way though yeah I'd like something different in the end.

 

[Scribble]

Spin off the Galaxy franchise as a Rosalina franchise like Yoshi. Do something new for Mario

Yes. I would love Rosalina to be the next spinoff character. This is the right thing to do.

 

[Business]

3D World 2 all day.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

A completely new and fresh game that would make us all relive the wonder and excitement we felt when first playing SM64 back in the day.

If i can't have that, then i guess give me SMG3! Still god tier stuff luckily

 

[paragonpro]

I guess because I suck at the game, and never played it as a kid, I don't get the fascination behind mario 64's slippery controls. I'm aware there are a lot more nuanced things you can do in that game but to me Galaxy felt a lot better.

 

[brinstar]

D, but I also wouldn't mind if 3D World was spun off into its own subseries every once in a while for multiplayer shenanigans

 

[Volotaire]

Something new. D. I'm ready for a new direction for the 3D Mario series. I thought 3D World, before they announced it, would be a new concept based on a light and dark world with the dual screens.

 

[James Scott]

Something new on consoles; a new 3D Land for handheld.

Oh, I guess I'd be ok with that too

 

[Nintendoga]

Something new on consoles, maybe a Sunshine 3D or something on handhelds.

 

[Spieler Eins]

Obviously D, that's what the series has once been about.

 

[massoluk]

I feel Galaxy 3 will offer more opportunities for more variety in good small sized chunks, but if they could do it, I'll go with D. (I can't imagine how they are going to do D)

 

[DSix]

None, let Mario rest and do a new IP.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Something new, but closer to 64/sunshine in feel, being more open world levels etc.

 

[Akzel]

C - My reason is simple .. I just don't feel playing something like A or B.

 

[Berordn]

D's the only real answer. Not that Mario needs a drastic overhaul by any means.

 

[samn]

Mario 3D World is already 'Super Mario 3D Land 2', we don't need another one of either of those series.

 

[Kriken]

Super Mario Galaxy 3 will have flagpoles, pls understand

 

[CassSept]

D>A>C>B

We'd already gotten Galaxy sequel and it turned out to be the perfect game, one of the best (if not The best) games ever, but Mario needs a change every couple of years.

 

[muteki]

64-2 with some ambition behind it would me my most anticipated game of forever.

 

[10k]

64-2.

But if I'm restricted to the options in OP than Galaxy 3. With more horsepower and HD graphics to work with the Galaxy level design can be more ambitious and expanded upon.

 

[Bass260]

I trust Tokyo EAD to make a stellar game so I'm good with any of the options.
