I question who plays Mario games for the story. I always played it for the gameplay. Most Mario games the story amounts to "Bowser kidnapped the Princess, save her ass" and that's all I need. Seriously, it gets me pumped. I'm like "I'm in!". That's all the story I need for any game. "sh** gone down! It's up to us!".


Good for you, that saves you a lot of trouble. I wish I didn't have to give a sh#$ about story, but I do. So I don't really play the big Mario platformers now a days. Especially not Mario Galaxy cause I'm still pissed they left Tatanga out of that game.

That's crap. I wanna see Mario in a game where Bowser and Peach don't even appear, or at least not have the whole story revolve around them again. Have a new villain with a new cause and give Mario something else to do for once, just for once. I guess I'm trying to say that I'm getting sick of playing the same predictable story over and over again. So please, gamers, stop humping the 1980 Mario story and let some development come in.

I find it amusing that your first and last posts contradict each other so much.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing a Mario RTS. That is to say, something where you have an army of Yoshis and toads goin up against Koopa Troopas. Bonus points for a Wart faction. But then again, I'm an extreme RTS fan, and Nintendo would never go for it since they want to keep Mario kid-friendly, even though the median age for Mario fans has to be somewhere near 25 or higher...


One of the Superweapons could be the Wario Waft!! ! :lol:

I do agree with you to some degree, it is getting a bit boring now... I'd like a game where a new evil came, and Mario, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Samus, Link, Zelda, and all the other Nintendo Characters, even the bad ones, had to team up to save the universe, a bit like Super Smash Bros, but with a larger storyline...

Personally, I hold that anyone who thinks you can't have a game with Bowser as the hero has never played the original Donkey Kong. Mario was a simple plumber then, saving his girlfriend from the giant ape that had kidnapped her (and was trying to kill him with such outre weapons as rolling barrels and dancing flame-creatures, all of whom could be dispatched with a giant hammer).

Now DK is a "good guy", and even has relatives (Junior and Diddy, IIRC)...

Yes, I know that Mario teams up with DK in Super Paper Mario, but there isn't one with like, all of the nintendo characters. Did you even read my post? :roll:
