I doubt that it would ever happen, with mario being on the wii, a family friendly console, but if there was a Dark Mario game, what would you like it to be?

I would enjoy a game adaption of: "There Will Be Brawl"

That would restore my faith in Nintendo.

Working off of the post above me, how about a serial killer who uses scissors as his MO. It would be a detective/Mario hybrid.

I'd prefer a dark Zelda, but that's just me.

EDIT: And it would be out on something other than the Wii, not dissing it but I just don't have one.

Other: Don't have one.
I mean, seriously? Does anyone think that'd be a good idea?

I Don't have a wii, and to be honest I think they suck, but nintendo will never let mario leave his confined torture chamber of bad consoles.....

The war one is the only one I can really see happening, and even that's a stretch. The RPG I was going to pick for a moment, except for that whole "in depth" thing. The point of Mario RPGs is that it isn't about in depth characters, it's more of a parody, with some awesome combat at really unique and crazy environments.

the savage war would make the most sence (see yatzhees review of mario and luigis inside story), but it's never going to happen, Nintendo wouldn't dare risk their image of their token italien

I imagine someone as crazy as me has probably made it, so how about this, Paper Mario, but set in a crime infested mushroom kingdom, full of lowlifes and junkies, with Mario as a detective!

Basically, Mario crossed with a James Elroy novel.
Oh my god this would be so awesome! Peach could come into Mario's Office, smoking a long cigarette, a dramatic shadow across her eyes. Mario would be sitting there, his legs up on his desk, drinking straight from a bottle labeled 'pipe cleaner.'

"What's a dame like you coming to a dick like me for?" says Mario, his voice gravelly from years of smoking and drinking.

"I... I think someone is trying to kill me. They was a rather shy looking guy following me just now. And I could swear there are turtles watching me from the sewers. You've got to help me!"

Mario as a mob hitman, perhaps? "'Ey, it's-a me-a, Mario! I'm-a shoot-a you inna face!"

...not sure that would work...

If any of the poll choices, I'd like to see the RPG idea. I think they could do a ton with the universe they are given with Mario, and they could make some very out there creature ideas. Let's face it, the villains of the series have never been scary, but they could do some great character design off of embodying psychological ideas and concepts, and so on.

Sadly, it will never happen anything close to what I'd imagine it being capable of becoming.

Seriously Drug Related - I want it to turn out he's a broke, out of work and unlikable plumber in NYC, who along with his Brother Luigi eat magic mushrooms all day to blot out reality. The goompa's could be the other residents in his apartment block and Princess Peach could be his...i don't know inflatable doll or something. There is no magic kingdom mario! Only the cold prison cell you'l get for murder. Bowser could be the prisoner who makes mario his....

That reminded me of this picture, were you looking at/thinking about it when you wrote that?

I would like to offer something completely different.

Picture this: "Super Mario Temporal" I'm thinking that the key innovation here would be the utilization of positional time effects. I see different spatial locations exhibiting different temporal coordinates within the same level. For example: Mario could walk down a hallway and stumble on a "time changeing zone" whereupon it's 500 years in the future, Bowser has taken over thsi zone you are attacked by mechanized goombas. I'd also like to see causality worked in say that, in our hypothetical, Mario could take another few steps, leave the zone, go back into the "present" moment get the level's star and Mario could go back to the "time changing zone" and would find a more peaceful world, as he prevented Bowser from taking over.

That's what I'd like to see gameplay-wise in a new Mario game. If it had a dark feel to it as well, that could be acceptable.
