what do you think it'd be like if nintendo did a game like sonic generations but for mario? would something like this have potential? it would be a good way to celebrate all the characters of mario. thoughts, ideas?
 
Personally I think that Super Mario 3D Land is the Mario series equivalent of Sonic Generations.
 
No actually that's a 3D version of classic Mario. In a Mario Generations you'd have Modern Mario platforming in 3D, Classic Mario would be platforming in 2D.

Also classic Mario probably would look like this:

uh, if there is really this game, I think the characters should be in bitmaps, like what in Party 8 = =

both Mario and Sonic try to make sequels to their traditional games (Sonic 4-II?)
but I don't know if Sonic can give a good example for Mario
 
It would be cool. There could be SM64 and Galaxy levels for Modern Mario and SMB and SMB3 levels for CLassic Marrio
 
Nintendo really shouldn't be copying Sega's ideas if the company doesn't want to get sued. But I guess the best way to depict Classic Mario and Modern Mario is to swap their shirt and overall colors. And of course, the modern Mario is thinner than his classic counterpart.

I think that SM3DL is the "Mario Generations" you would be talking about. But to make an actual Mario Generations would be ripping off SEGA's idea, and Nintendo has already remade some levels. Sonic Generations is to celebrate 20 years of Sonic, and Nintendo doesn't seem to celebrate Mario's anniversary much. (At least, not that I know of.) The only exeption that I've seen is Mario's 25th, and even then the only official 25th thing they did was a port of an old game to the Wii.
 
It would work but like Nitwit said, it's ripping off Sega's idea's.

uhm.... I thought the classic Mario should be bitmap or something
the first Sonic is just as what he was in the "first" main game Sonic 1

the present designs of Mario is significantly different from the old SMB
as the staff only do improvements in present portraits (just like Sonic)
 
Not only is it kind of a rip-off if they did that I don't think it works as well as with Sonic. Yes there's technially a Classic Mario but even then the ages still don't look very different between the 2. Classic Mario at least in the artwork is slightly pudgy but that's about it so there's no need for 2 different Marios. Sonic actually had a cutoff enough for a Classic and Modern version since Modern Sonic first appeared in Sonic Adventure and on that was enough of a drastic change to think up a Classic and Modern Sonic. Also Mario games had alot of levels. While I suppose it would be nice to see some classic levels turned into 3D platforming like Super Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy style... I don't know something about "World 1-1" (Considering there's technially alot of World 1-1's in the Mario series) doesn't sound exactly like a tile while in Sonic Generations stuff like Green Hill Zone or Speed Highway does work.

And yeah the 3DS game coming up is sort of that albeit I don't think there will be any classic levels anyway.
