Would you like a T-rated Mario game?

I know that virtually all Super Mario games are either rated E or E10+, in the case of Super Mario Odyssey, but would a T rated Mario game be in your favor? If so, what would it be?
 
I don't think there's any reason Mario would need to be more "mature." The only possible scenario where I would want that is if for some reason they made a game adaptation of the garbage live-action movie. In which case: go full on M.

There is nothing in it remotely making it worthy of that rating.

To answer the topic question, absolutely not. Mario's philosophy is for anyone of any age and the only reason why some of the games get an E10 rating is due to weird laws about cartoon violence.

Oh my god yes

Murder-suicide, omnicidalism, existential nihilism, psychopathy, immortal rulers of heaven and hell giving up their only daughter to suffer eternal misery, dying wishes of a robotic dragon, generations of ancient beings sacrificing everything to allow the future to survive, xenophobia, watching an innocent anime girl reveal herself as an evil shapeshifter before cracking her neck to turn into a giant robot spider, the creepy music, going to hell and meeting Satan, being dragged into a river of undead souls by immortal white gloved hands as you hear them screaming in the background.

...and that is what makes SPM my favourite game of all time.


Back to the main point, well, you know me 😉

This is pretty much why I think it deserved that rating. Mature themes don't always have to be graphically in-your-face (imo explicit violence, gore and sexual shit is the most shallow way to increase a rating). And if a game like SPM could get a T rating today then yes, sign me up for a T-rated Mario game. I want the rating to be higher from heavy plot themes and writing though, not from graphical explicitness.
 
Super Smash Bros

Super Mario Sunshine 2, turns out ACAB and he has to team up with Il Piantissimo to fight the delfino police and usurp the government, Sly Cooper Assassins Creed style.
