I would like at least a new visual style, Mario has been done in many different ways even recently with "Paper" and "Mario & Luigi" games.

After seeing the Van Gogh level I would be fine with doing a Mario game where each world was an art movement with levels being based loosely on classic works. Romanticism, Impressionism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Post Modernism, etc.

Imagine Mario sprite or model in vastly different style to compliment them. Could be fun.

That's such a great point that I debated putting in the thread. It astounds me how it's the spin offs that are getting the more striking visual identity when it's spin offs that are supposed to be fanservice and pandering to begin with.

this spinoffs have been kicking ass for some time now. Before 3dland Bowser's Inside Story was the most fun i had in the series.
