Power ups

I think a Bowser suit would be amusing.

They should bring it over from the early Mario Party games.

With Mario using a Bowser suit as a power up, a gimmick should be added with Bowser wearing a Mario suit and attacks you by jumping on you and Mario has to fight back using Bowser's usual moves.

Favourite power-up would be the Penguin Suit, because penguins are awesome and so are the iceballs.

If Nintendo decides to go back to old 3D games where you couldn't stay underwater indefinitely, they could create a suit that allows you to do so.

My only gripe was that it kinda made the Ice Flower useless. Penguin suit has all the same abilities plus better swimming speed and ice grip.
 
Ah, yes. I would also like to see a Hero Sword that gives Mario Link's clothes and a sword. You can relate it to CollegeHumor's comic, but I actually had the idea for a while.

A tree suit.

He needs a tree suit.

Yoshi nearly had one of those in Super Mario World 2.

I do find it pretty weird that they made that decision. Might've been better to keep Ice Suit to the 3D games, or just not have the Penguin shoot Ice.

It's not the first this and more power-up in the Mario series, so I can understand the Ice Flower being in. I guess you could still argue that it's too easy to get once you reach World 3, however. Maybe it should have been rarer and/or available later in the game?
 
Caterpillar Mario: Mario still has 4 limbs but the suit is segmented and Mario has a flower on his cap and hecan walk on walls and cover himself with a cocoon like the tanooki can turn into a statue, sounds ridiculous but I posted anyways.

change that from a caterpillar to a pokey and a cocoon to spikes and you might be getting somewhere
 
My favorite was Tanooki Suit.

My invention would be the Axem Ranger power up. I also have a good reason.

Mario Wiki said:
Each Axem Ranger is designed around being an evil counterpart to someone in Mario's team. Axem Red, being the leader and having balanced stats across the board is Mario's counterpart. Axem Black, a strong and quick fighter with poor defenses is Geno's counterpart. Axem Green, an offensive magic specialist, is Mallow's counterpart. Axem Yellow, a powerful and resilient but slow fighter is Bowser's counterpart. Axem Pink, the only woman and a healer with some offensive and status magic is Peach's counterpart.

Kind of a bump, but I'm bored. My favorite has to be the penguin suit, it's cute and stupid at the same time. I love the Red Star and the Ice Flower too simply because they're fun to use. I also like black-wearing Mario.

As for future crazy power-up ideas, Mario needs to be a waterbear, protozoa, goat, tape worm, hummingbird, kakapo, western scrub jay, and of course, chicken. Not to mention, a princess in a similar fashion as Luigi.
 
Having played through NSMB2 again I forgot how much fun gold Mario can be.

Sorry for the bump if anyone's bothered, but what if the next 2D Mario game restricts Player 1 to Mario in single-player again BUT gives him costumes that grant him the statistics and abilities of other characters?

Just another random Luma idea.

I'd like it if other players can use Mario and they can transform to other characters. It would be crazy.
 
Like the hats from SM64DS?
 
Yeah, and the only way you can identify your character is just by voice.
 
Wouldn't some kind of switching mechanic between characters be more practical?
 
The thing is that you can't switch between characters during levels, and there might be points where you have to be Mario, then transform into Luigi, then transform into Toad. This is from a single player standpoint.
 
I'm sure you could have a button devoted to switching characters, like in DKC. Only you don't lose the character when wounded.

I know, but you know, that destroy the point of transformation caps.
 
Thats kind of the idea.
 
Well, yeah, but transformation items adds a level of strategy. It's like having a Kirby game where you can choose your ability at will (although we have something like that in Milky Way Wishes, except you can't copy abilities bar the Copy Copy Ability).
