How about a castle which can travel through time?? You free roam in this castle which is huge (10x the size of the castle in SM64) and the levels represent time peroids.

Here the story:

Bowser is building a machine which can manipulate time and space. Mario tries to stop him but gets cought in the process. Bowser then sends Mario back in time. After the travel Mario stumbles across the ancestor of Princess Peach. Mario explains the situation to her and she willingly agrees to help him out. Somehow they manage to built a "time-core" which they implement in the center of old Peach's castle allowing them to travel through time. But in order to travel further into the future the "time-core" needs more energy in form of "time-stars" which are scattered around many places in different time periods.

At the end they manage to gather enough power to travel to the present time and witness the events of Mario being caught and send back to the past. This will be the best opportunity to face Bowser off guard.

Something like that...



....well if thats too irritating...a normal castle is good enough, too ;)

that would be awesome and after Sly 4 I'm convinced of time travel as the premise for any platformer.  It just makes for an easy way to make varied powers and environments.
