First off, I'm not going to trust the poll results at all. There are quitre a few people on these forums who hate Mario and colorful platformers in general and who obviously love FPS games. I'm not overly concerned whether they would want something like this.

Secondly, no, I absolutely do not want to see an FPS Mario. Outside of what Ubisoft did with Mario, I just can't see there being enough compelling gameplay and still keeping it as a Mario title.

What I would like to see, and have wanted to see for a while, though, is a Metroidvania Mario. I'd like to see the Mushroom Kingdom be represented as one giant interconnected 2D world (pipes, beanstalks, magic carpets, breakable walls) where Mario must explore to gain different powerups and abilities. He could also meet other characters along the way (Luigi, Peach, Toad, etc) who would have their own abilities and movesets.

Of course, I'm sure there are many, many people who would be as bothered by turning Mario into Metroid as I would be of turning Mario into Goldeneye.
