Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

I don't want a 3D World port to Switch. I want a completely new 3D World/Land-like game. Particularly, fix the multiplayer, it's a damn mess. Remove lives too.

I mean Mario Super Sluggers currently has the largest roster of any game at around 70 characters counting costumes, and that was in 2008. Over a decade later I'm sure making a bigger roster that lets everything balance out like that isn't out of the question. It'd be cool as a "let's pay tribute to all these series" kinda thing.

Granted we haven't gotten a lot of sports spin-offs lately aside from Mario Tennis Aces so idk what kind of game they would make to fit such a large roster.

Tangentially related but I miss Mario Strikers. Those games had a really unique aesthetic and the characters' personalities really showed.

Late response but super sluggers was largely made of re-used assets from the previous game. And most of it's roster was composed of various copies.
 
Mario Superstar Baseball's roster is still pretty impressive, and I like how all characters practically had unique animations such as the homerun celebrations.
 
I'd be more impressed if a lot of it weren't recycled.

Plus being a baseball game each character doesn't require as much indepth animations as they would in say, a tennis game.
 
Tennis, Soccer, and Golf all have the best animations in the series. Mario Tennis Aces, I was really impressed.
 
Arguably, I think they have more animations in baseball than they do in tennis, and I don't think tennis has that elaborate animations aside from winning and losing. Each character has three getting struck out animations in the Mario Baseball games: one for when they don't swing, one where they swing without charging, and the last one where they swing with charging. Oh and they have two walk to base animations as well: one with getting hit by a ball and another getting 5 balls. That's also not to say their home run animations, which I think are pretty elaborate.

Though, golf has the best animations out of any game. It gave me Baby Luigi in a bubble. Though if there's a Strikers game with Baby Luigi playable in it, it may usurp that.
 
Luma should be playable in more than just Tennis. It should have been playable in Mario Kart 8 than Baby Rosalina.
