Pyro as Bill said: Mario should have taken a break about 20 years ago. Mario shouldn't have been used for SMB2, Kart or the 3D games. All of them could have stood on their own as new IPs. |
How exactly would this have made the games any different?
What makes a game a 'new' IP? The characters? Or the gameplay?
If someone makes a game that is similar to another IP and sticks a new character(s) in it, I don't think it really constitutes as a new IP.
It's just a reskin of another game.
