A 3D platformer set in the Mario Strikers universe(?) looks kinda cool in my head.

Yeah, this is so sick. But we can understand... Mario is Mario. Nothing comes close to it!

Crossoverception! O.O

to be fair, is a pretty good idea Rol

Love how people always hate mario games just because there's a lot of them.

To be honest, I think Mario is that special franchise that doesn't get boring, no matter how much you play it.

I've always found myself playing 2D mario scrollers still.

i want a new mario hoops for any nintendo platform

It would be more interesting if Mario games actually had story, character development, world building, etc. All they're doing here though is throwing in some assets from Sticker Star, the gameplay is still 100% Mario&Luigi, which is probably for the best considering Sticker Star's was awfulbad. Other crossovers couldn't really be a thing since there's definitely no way to combine say Mario Kart and Mario Golf's gameplay into something that isn't worse than when seperated, and their artstyle and characters are all the same anyway. Sorry not trying to be a downer or anything, it's just anything that has anything to do with Sticker Star gets me like this. =/

If you make a crossover within your own franchise, that's when you know you're truly on another level of cash cow.

Look, if you want your Mario RPG games to have a coherent story, that's one thing, but frankly I find character development and world building to be kind of dirty phrases when it comes to the Mario series. Sonic went for the kind of approach you're advocating starting from around about Sonic Adventure, and look how that series has ended up. Bogged down in nonsense, and with cringy story to boot. I certainly don't find Sonic '06 to be "more interesting" than the original Sonic trilogy - actually quite a lot less!

Where the did this come from? Whether or not I want Mario games to have a story is completely irrelevant to my post.
