Variety in Mario games

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Continued from the Mario & Luigi thread. What would you like changed in Mario games so they have more variety? I think a new story and villain once in a while would be nice.

They have good variety already, or at least the 3D Platformers do

Gameplay and locations. Thats pretty much the jist of it. But barring the NSMB series the series is generally pretty good with keeping things varied.

Not really.

Right now I think the main thing in the 3D games that has variety is the setting. And that will change when we inevitably get Mario 3D Bros., Mario 3D Adventure and New Super Mario 3D Land/World.

I'd just like creative new themes instead of the same boring generic grass, desert, crap, barf, vomit, *other types of excretion* then lava.

This. At least 3D World had a few unique themes like the circus one, but they still should have some more unique themes.

The 3D games have plenty of variety, 64 doesn't play like sunshine, which doesn't play like Galaxy, which doesn't play like 3D World and all that.

There are obvious similarities but the actual defining gameplay is much different.

3D World's themes were largely irrelevant to the actual levels themselves.

Define "variety".

3D Land is also very similar to 3D World
