Future Mario games

[pokeclaudel]

I don't mean adding stupid amount of unappealing characters like how Sonic does.

One thing I liked was that donkey Kong aged. The Donkey Kong Jr from the original game is the Donkey Kong we played as in the Snes games. Now we play as Donkey Kong III in DKCR and nobody seems to be outraged by that.(Though this proves that Diddy Kong isn't actually a kid but an adult... weird)

Another thing is it would only be an option. When I play DKCR with my friends little brother he always wants to play as Diddy Kong. It's a known fact that kids want to identify with other child heroes. Sales of the Batman comics drastically increased after the addition of Robin. This success is the reason why most superhero now has some sort of child sidekick.

When I played SMW as a kid I would choose two players make Mario die and then play as Luigi for the rest of the game just because my older brother told me he was the younger brother.

I admit I don't really want to see Mario turn into an old man like in this picture I always thought of Mario as a 32 year old man. Maybe in the future game he can be 42 with a ten year old son. As long as they don't make his son have some sort of annoying personality younger kids should resonate with him like with Donkey Kong's kid and grandchild.
