I've heard people say that there is no wisdom in releasing a 2D sidescroller for a system marketed for being 3D. But I disagree. It could have a 3D engine. Ok, 2d Mario sidescroller. The last time we been down this road was NSMWii. What are some elements you would like to see in this game? And are the rumors not bogus that it is acutally Paper Mario 3DS? It is in fact a sidescroller?
 
It's a sidescroller. A common misconception is that Paper Mario is 2D, it's actually 3D. It could be like Donkey Kong Country Returns.
In Mario terms, I think it will be similar to the 2D levels in Super Mario Galaxy 2.
 
Better music. I usually enjoy Mario tunes, but the NSMB games just didn't do it for me in the music department.
 
A more elaborate and interesting map. NSMB Wii already made some half-hearthed at making it more than a fancy level screen where you can very occasionaly choose one level over the other, but it'd be nice to see something as (or more) complex as Super Mario World's world map again.
 
I agree they should make a 2D Mario just like the 2D levels of SMG2, it would be beautiful *.*. Obviously the 3D effect will not be as much used as a 3D game, but the staff can make some good effects, e.g. Bullet Bills going to the screen, spikes coming from various angles, platforms with different depths, etc.

This! It would be very cool if they return with the Super Cape. :eekdance:

The Super Cape could be the new come back kid a la Tanooki Suit in Super Mario 3D Land for this game?
 
I want to see in this game, Chain Chomps that roll around, Lakitu's in pipes (just like in SMW), Giant World (like SMB3), Pipe World (like SMB3), Tanks, Snow Spikes, Spindrifts, Mr. Blizzards, Remixes of old Mario music (Yoshi's Island, Super Mario land), Bowser Suit, and other stuff

What about characters? Do you just want to play as Mario and Luigi? I'd like to see Toads like in NSMBWii.

I don't know. The Toads were okay, but nothing special.

Then again, who else would there be to play as?

Yeah! And this time allows Mario to fly, what is not possible with the new Tanooki Suit. :P

OMG, how did I forget it... If possible, multiplayer up to 4 players!!! ;D You can choose between Mario, Luigi, Peach and (Classic)Toad. That's it, PEACH! Nintendo should change the story this time. Daisy :daisy: should be kidnapped by mistake :lol:
 
Yes! Just like Wargreymon said! The classic group of four consisting of Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad need to return. These four were my personal favourite group of playable protagonists out of any Mario game, and I really would like to see all four playable once again in a new platformer. ;D

I personally want to see SMB2 elements in this game. SMB2 seems to always be forgotten; however, a return of its elements and characters would be great to see. We have seen quite a lot of the Mushroom Kingdom, so why not return to Subcon for a while? :) This would also be the perfect opportunity to allow Toad and Peach back into a platformer as playable characters.
