My Idea for a Mario and Luigi game

[cheat-master30]

And yes, this is kinda complicated. Basically, it involves a team consisting of Midbus (Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story) and Rudy the Clown (Wario Land 3/Dr Mario 64) attacking the Mushroom World after something or another, but actually going outright and for a change attacking Diamond City from WarioWare as well.

As you can tell, panic would ensue because well... WarioWare is a peaceful series, and they're not exactly used to near supervillain level attacks like the Mushroom Kingdom is, so through two different adventures at the same time (with effects in one changing the other), Mario and Luigi and Wario and Waluigi have to save their respective locations from the villains.

Some other random ideas:

The villains are genre savvy, so they attack the teams who can't fight back well against them. So Rudy vs Mario and Luigi, and Midbus vs Wario and Waluigi.

As the characters go, they meet other characters from the general Mario series and such who end up being used as special attacks in battle in the same way as the Bros moves or items. So Bowser might unleash his army against the villain and King Boo might do this and what not.

The characters obvious team up, eventually (about halfway through the game, four worlds in for both teams)

They explore DK Island. Maybe also Rogueport and the Paper Mario 2 areas, Yoshi's Island and various others.

Mario and Luigi explore areas like Peach's Castle, Bowser's Castle, Luigi's Mansion, Isle Delfino, the SMB 3 worlds.

Wario and Waluigi would explore Diamond City, Kitchen Island (and Syrup Castle), the Golden Pyramid and the worlds within, the worlds in the TV show universe of Master of Disguise and maybe the Shake Dimension and Musix Box World.

Ambitious I know, but it'd be pretty cool to have you visit actual named locations from the past series as well as just random new disconnected areas.

Sounds Awesome, Chaet-Master!

I... I think I love you...

Thanks. And in case you're wondering one battle gimmick, you'd basically have two different battles ongoing at once, and the characters and opponents would maybe randomly switch between them. So Mario and Luigi would suddenly end up drawn into fighting the opponent Wario and Waluigi are and vice versa. It's really more simple on paper, although simple here means more like 'would drive people to Dark Prognosticus level insanity complex' for many.

And yes, there would be new areas, enemies, bosses and characters, but a good part would be to do something no prior RPG has done, send the characters down a sort of memory lane trip by making them explore vast areas from past games that you never got to explore in depth in the RPGs. There's only so much 'explore generic area you've never seen before like the last three... you know, Chucklehuck Woods//Dimble Wood' before you think 'why not take a trip to areas from Paper Mario/Mario 64/Mario Sunshine/Wario Land/Donkey Kong Country and actually flesh them out in detail'.

Plus, you've got to admit, having classic Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country and Wario Land levels/worlds explored in RPG style would be awesome, am I right? And exploring Diamond City in detail would be freaking amazing.

9-Volt with classic video game attacks... EPIC

[cheat-master30]

^Yep, that would be in.

[kingkoopa]

I would buy this if it was a real game.

[cheat-master30]

Is there really anyone who wouldn't?

[EpicGyllynn]

This would be the best Game in the Mario & Luigi Series!

[kingkoopa]

Unless they make a better one

[cheat-master30]

I don't think them making a better one would be possible... which because I'm tempting fate guarantees a better one will be made.

I'm partly curious though to what people who haven't posted in this topic think of this idea.

This game is unrealistically good. Reading something like this always makes me sad because it will never happen. Come on, actual Mario games that were released include Undake 30 Same Game. If you ever come up with a Mario game that is too good, remember Undake 30 Same Game and know that actual Mario games are closer to it content-wise than to your idea.

I thought it sounded amazing until I realized how hellish Platform Perils would be in full 3D. Otherwise, I t would beat Ocarina of Time as the GREATEST GAME EVAR! Ahem, yes.

That's certainly depressing. Indeed, 90% of the more mediocre, unknown spinoffs really have no reason to exist. No one liked freaking Jungle Beat and Mario Party 5, why do they had multiple arcade versions?

But yes, a game like this would be awesome.

It wouldn't be all Donkey Kong Country levels in 3D, just some of the most well known. Maybe like Bramble Blast and the like. And the much shorter list of Donkey Kong 64 levels.

They'd be in the same style as the existing levels. So a Bramble Blast area would be like Bramble Blast style wise (brambles, Zingers as enemies), but would have various new puzzles and platforming challenges as well. Like how they made Tick Tock Clock and Luigi's Mansion into race tracks in Mario Kart games.

I bet this kind of game would be hilarious to watch Koopalmier's reaction to. He thinks Diamond City isn't in Mushroom World, so imagine what would happen if they released a game showing Diamond City getting attacked by villains and Mario and co showing up. I'd love to see the reactions of Intelligent Systems too, especially if it threw their entire sense of canon in WarioWare out the window.

[SMBBQ]

Still, even Bramble Blast would be terrifying in 3D. But I maintain it would be equally awesome.

[cheat-master30]

True. But come on, 3D barrel cannons and Squawks...

And honestly, a game that could take you from a DKC bramble level to Diamond City, and all the way to Luigi's Mansion and back would be amazing. Now all you have to do is get a job at Nintendo and bribe Miyamoto.
