If Nintendo didn't own Mario...

The 'Shroom wouldn't be the 'Shroom, it'd be the Spinach.
 
I never watched Popeye, but I just had a horrifying though: What if Mario was a poster boy for morals?
He would eat Apples.
His enemy would be King Diabetes.
And his Yoshi would be fighting for animal rights.
 
I'm gald nintendo lost rights to the Popeye world. I would be sick of his games by now.
 
I would not mind if Nintendo let a few non-main-series games be developed and published by third parties (as long as they didn't appear on the PS3 or 360). But once you start pushing that, things get hairy, IMO. I would hate to see a bloody Mario FPS, or a T-rated RPG.
 
Why does everyone assume that every video company out there is an FPS whore? People always assume that when "what if Mario is not owned by Nintendo?" His games would be basically anything. It all depends on what company owns him, but even then, I really wouldn't think his games would end up mature.

But what if Sega owned him.
 
I don't know exactly. Anyone could do anything with Mario.

Mario would be very fast and be friends with sonic.

I would like to point out that Sega already makes games with Mario in them. I personally dislike this, it's soley so they can sell more games. Remember the No Hopers bin? With Sonic's shoes next to it?

There's a reason for that.
