Yoshi, Wario and Donkey Kong each have their own side franchises that branch off of the Mario franchise, but what other major side characters from the Mario series do you believe are worthy of their own franchise, and if so, what genres and storylines would work best for said characters and their accompanying franchises?
 
A game where you play as all of the Koopalings might be fun. It could be a puzzle platformer game where each one has a different ability that can solve the level in a different way. Some levels would be easier with a specific Koopalings ability, but you can choose whoever you want if you'd like a challenge.
 
WE NEED A WALUIGI GAME! the man has NEVER appeared in a mainline Mario game EVER and it would be good to have him have his own series for once!
 
The Baby Bros, starring in their own mystery dungeon entry.
 
Daisy gardening simulator, leading into a franchise of simulation games.

Metal Mario rhythm games, starting with the metal genre of course.
EDIT: The first game's title is Metal-Head Mario Can Groove!

I think it depends alot on whether that character has own storyline and worldbuilding to show us. Could better be a new gaming genre if Nintendo have any idea in mind.

Taking Peach and Yoshi titles as example, they're sorta arguable because they don't really stay away from Super Mario when they're the titular heroes.
 
Waluigi, with the plot being that everyone else in the mushroom kingdom has gone missing and he's literally the only one left, because the villain who captured everyone else thought he was that useless. the bosses are twisted and warped versions of other Mario characters, pumping the weirdness factor up to eleven and having Waluigi defeat them in strange bizarre ways like using his entire body as a slingshot to send the boss flying. and he's doing this entirely because he wants to be the subject of the entire kingdom's praise. it would end with him still not getting that and nobody even realizing he's the one who saved them. but then he forgets about that when wario invites him to go vandalize shit and the credits roll.
