Love your ideas Zack. You obviously put a lot of thought into this.
Part of me feels like KingdomHeartsFan -- I want Nintendo to give me something I didn't know I wanted.
The other part of me wants something like Banjo-Tooie, i.e., a platform action-adventure hybrid with an interconnected world. No jumping through paintings or traveling through warp pipes to independent levels. I want a single overworld -- maybe Dinosaur Land? -- with levels that are physically connected.
