New Storyline for Mario

UltimatePetey

Go! Magnezone!
I've wondered a lot:

"What would happen if there was a different storyline?"

Obviously I'm not extremely creative, so I can never find myself an answer. Right now, Bowser always kidnaps Peach in all of the new Mario games, really the only thing different is new powerups, enemies, etc.

What do you think a good storyline would be other than the original, and do you think that would effect the popularity of the series?

refer to le RPG games in the series

I'm talking about the main ones (not saying the Mario RPG's aren't good, I actually quite like them), obviously those have different storylines.

I'm alright with Bowser kidnaps Peach. And I always will be.
It's the total opposite with me. I just can't stress it enough, how boring and repetitive that storyline's gotten.

Repetition has never bothered. Kind of the opposite of a lot of people.
 
I'd have to agree. The repetition of the storyline never turned me away from buying a new Mario game. The new mechanics, enemies, power-ups, etc. drive me to buy one.

Edit: Oh god that quote error was horrific.

I can't stand it either. Come on, I really despise Peach being a helpless little bimbo with, "MARRRRIOOOO HELP MEEEEEE!!!". I mean come on, just look at her in the spin-off Mario games, she's much more competent.

I'd have to agree with this.
