So this is the name of the new Mario game they're planning for the Switch.

There's an old ROM hack by BMF54123 that has the same name, but it's a different thing.

You should skip the rest of this post if you don't want to be swayed by it.






So yeah, this is it. They extracted Mario from the Mushroom Kingdom and dropped him into the real world. Complete with giant buildings, ads everywhere, human NPCs, cars, traffic lights, and even pollution (what else would the smoke in that picture be?).

No, no, no, no, no.

You do not fucking drop Mario into the real world. You just do not do that, Nintendo.

You see, the Rayman games have been a big part of my childhood. They had their own worlds with their magic and all. It fueled my imagination a lot. I would imagine all sorts of stories and shit in these worlds.

Then there was that image I saw in a Raving Rabbids game on the DS, at the end: Rayman being interviewed by media. It felt wrong. Rayman belongs in his own, special, magical world. You do not drop him into a world that a) has no magic, b) is shitty and constantly getting worse, and c) that we're stuck living in.

Same shit here. Do we want to tell gamers that the Mushroom Kingdom also undergoes global warming?

And this is, well, unoriginal. It looks like a 'play as Mario' mod for GTA. It looks awkward, Mario's proportions are very different from those of most humans. He's a fucking dwarf there. Then again, he is pretty short




This is better. See, this is the kind of shit I like seeing in a new Mario game. I remember seeing similar screenshots before and I had a good feel about it.

It is original, it is its own world, and it looks pretty good. Crystals in a desert, why not!

It seems to be a desert/Mexican themed world with small skull-y characters.


Either way, I'd like to see more. And hoping that the unoriginal "Mario in real world" part doesn't make for a major part of the game.

The game isn't ruined because it features realistic humans. Hell, Princess Peach is closer to a 'realistic' human than to Mario.

It's mostly that I don't like the real world.

this is Mario, not GTA

I wonder if it's possible to interact with the human NPCs at all, though. I figure you can't beat the shit out of them and steal their money, but... do they play roles in the plot? or are they just the kind of NPC that would push you away without reacting if you stood in their way?

as for GTA, well, it's likely that someone has already done it, so google it


given Mario's proportions, Bowser would be... the size of an average man. man, that sure makes him feel less evil.

example of Mario vs human. they made him taller there, but as a result, he's fucking big.

I don't know why people think the city level is bad. It isn't "the real world" - its "New Donk City".

it's really close to the real world though.

And again, Bowser manages to capture Peach. That stupid princess has not learned or developed any defence system. Just putting Mario and Luigi as her bodyguards, no more Mario games would be released. But oh well, I guess you could argue that every 3D Mario is a reboot of the same story line; same goes for the New titles.

heh. seeing Wart or a completely new villain would be a welcome change.
