The Ultimate Mario Coop Chaos

[NGutierrez]

Imagine if New Super Mario Bros. Wii had no player limit and everyone from the Mario franchise could join. I mean everyone: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Toads, Yoshi, etc. Even enemies and side characters could join. It would be a massive Mario universe reunion.

What kind of chaotic situations would ensue? Write your own scenarios, but first, I would like to hear your thoughts of that hypothetical situation.

From a gameplay perspective, having an abundance of player characters which all bump into each would be unfun. Additionally, any one-hit enemies — such as Goombas, Goombrats, and Wubbas — would die immediately from all the chaos. Combining the various game genres is very complicated, thus leading to the Wii or emulator running the game crashing.

This is why they removed the bumping mechanics in SMB Wonder. Still makes me sad though...

I know for a fact Wario will suffer in some way

If we're doing pie in the sky dreaming, we also have to have Boost Mode. It could help give all the players more room, or make things even less predictable with platforms appearing in the most inconvenient spots. If more than one player can use Boost Mode at once, it would probably be fair to split the four platforms amongst the Boost Mode players because allowing for something like 18 Boost Blocks is just too many. It could trivialize level design!
