Where does 3D Mario go next?

[HyrulianScrolls]

I’m worried they’ll try to go bowsers fury direction and make an “open world” Mario. I just don’t want that from this franchise. Not everything has to be open world, and I think true Mario will get lost in that. But it definitely shouldn’t be Odyssey 2. They didn’t wait nearly a decade just to put out another Odyssey. That would be the most disappointing to me since they could’ve/should’ve done that 5 years ago on Switch if that’s all it is.
