The Next Mario Platformer

[dtewi]

It seems that the Mario platformer games just keep getting better and better. But after the pure masterpiece that was Super Mario Galaxy, how can Shigeru top himself? Here we can create the games that can be great.  

Also if you are not going to take this thread seriously, shut up and get out.

Here, use this as a guideline (you can add more categories)

I'll go first.

 

Name: Super Mario 9 (temp. title)

Story: Mario was going to visit Peach for you know what. Mario enters the castle, but doesn't see Peach. Suddenly the floor melts beneath his feet into molten lava. He looks up and sees Bowser holding onto Princess Peach. Bowser says that if taking the princess away doesn't work, I'll just have to send you away! Bowser then summons a mystical power and sends it at Mario. Mario then is sent to some strange place. It is ice, grass, lava, desert, water, and rock. Suddenly, an ancient being pops from the ground. He tells Mario that a powerful being has sent you to here, the heart of all lands. This place keeps the world from changing. There are six Noble Stars of Ice, Grass, Lava, Desert, Water, and Rock that keep the world intact. It keeps the deserts from turning into ocean and grasslands turning into tundra. Unfortuantely the same being that has sent you here has also stolen the Noble Stars. Fortunately, one was kept hidden from him, the Noble Star of Grass. But while he has the other stars, he can change any of the world's terrain at his will. We suspect he will use them to take over the world. Here, I shall give you the Noble Star of Grass and the Grass Lands will open. You must travel in the grass lands and recover 15 Grass Stars, for this will open a doorway to the evil being. He will surely use one of his Noble Stars to stop you. Please recover the Noble Stars.

Gameplay: This game will have basically the same controls as Super Mario Galaxy for that was perfection, but has a major addition. You can bring up a menu with the 1+2 button that shows all 6 of the terrains. You select one of them and you can create terrain by aiming at the screen and pressing the B button. You increase the size of the terrain with each power star you get. If you get ice, ice increases, get a grass, grass increases etc. The diameter starts off very small when you get it, only large enough to fill small gaps. But when you get all of the stars, it can fill a gap 8 feet across. So it is basically like leveling up. It is necessary to level up the terrain to be able to clear certain levels. Also you only have a limited amount of shots per level so do not abuse this power.

Okay, I'll explain more later. You come up with some.
