It's been 23 years since The Super Mario World cartoon premiered on NBC and there hasn't been a new Mario cartoon since. There was supposed to be a new Mario cartoon back in 2003 or 2004 as a part of the Fox Box/4kids TV but they gave it to Kirby (Kirby: Right Back At Ya!), Sonic (Sonic X) and F-Zero (F-Zero: GP Legends) but no new Super Mario cartoon. And what really makes me concerned about all of this is the fact that Sonic is getting another new cartoon with Sonic Boom which will premiere on Cartoon Network this September and Sonic X still airing as a part of the Vortexx block on The CW. I want a new Super Mario cartoon so badly, because I can't stand the cartoon that DIC produced, I want something decent with full 22 minute episodes and a superb voice cast and not produced by DIC. What do you guys think?
 
I think Mario needs another cartoon honestly. Hell, even Pac-Man had a new show.

But I'd like it if it was any good. I mean, the DiC Mario cartoons were funny, but in a cheesy sort of way. Still entertaining to watch despite its cheesiness, because well...it's a friggin Mario cartoon.
 
Well... there's a potential....

A superb voice cast would be the following:

Charles Martinet
Samantha Kelly
Takashi Nagasako
Deanna Mustard

The rest can have other people as long as they're fitting.

Oh, and please make it animated for the love of--.

Care to explain why you're so opposed to this idea?
 
I can't really see a new Mario cartoon happening (even though I've watched some episodes of the Super Show before and thought they were decent) but a series of shorts featuring characters voices by the current series might be interesting.
 
I know many other competitors or Nintendo themesleves have plans for cartoon series, but it really depends on their own rules and backstories. Some may even be controversial, for example, Pac-Man and Sonic have been tried to use different backstory canons that not all old fans would easily accept.

While Zelda series is a RPG story, the very major and typical Mario scenario is based on the dansel-in-distress plots like NSMB, and it can't be the whole thing of a cartoon story. Unless the plot writers are willing to embrace those RPG stories and focus more on interactions between different characters (that the mainstream games don't do) in order to compose stories rich in content.
 
Super Paper Mario has a horribly cliched plot and characters though
