post any random Mario thought on your mind

I would like a new Mario sports game (excluding Mario Kart). We haven't got a true one since Mario Strikers Battle League in 2022. I'm hoping we get like a Mario Sports Mix or Mario Sports Superstars kind of game. I think it really could work with the new art direction the series is going for from Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Mario Kart World.
 
We need a Mario horse game. Continue what Sports Superstars did, but refine the racing aspect and expand on the part where you take care of a horse (ideally it should be your Mario character of choice interacting with the horse; imagine Mario brushing the horse). And expand on the explorable areas, ride around Mushroom Kingdom as a Mario character of your choice with your horse. It could be Mario Kart World's free roam, but on horseback.
 
speaking of Mario Sports, there's a lot of talk of the potential of Mario Baseball returning and i have mixed feelings on that primarily because I feel like there is a 99.9% chance Toadsworth will be cut from the roster and I don't know if my heart can take that. The one series he got to be playable in.

I mostly don't want it to receive the same middling reception as all three(?) other Mario sports games on the Switch but I still believe Toadsworth died in the early 2010s so I'd say to just let him rest.
 
I know that chain chomp is supposed to be a little scary, but I honestly find them to be cute because they act like a dog. I think it would be cute and funny for Bowser to just keep a chain chomp around as a pet.

Funnily enough, Chain Chomps are designed to be like dogs because they were inspired by a childhood experience from Shigeru Miyamoto where a dog ran up to him and attempted to bite him, but was held back from doing so by the chain it was attached to. Subsequently, there is a sub-species of Chain Chomps called Chain Chomplets who are being kept as pets by a Pianta NPC in Pianta Village in Super Mario Sunshine.
 
So when are we as a fanbase going to collectively agree that Nintendo is just objectively wrong about Larry Koopa?

Look, there is no universe where I would ever believe that the youngest Koopaling is anyone but Lemmy, and he also does not "just look like a Larry" whatsoever, Dayvv. Based on some of the other musicians the Koopalings are named after like Iggy Pop, Roy Orbison, and Lemmy from Motorhead, I think the idea that he's named after the guy from U2(?) is a lot more plausible.
