In terms of ideas, it would be interesting to see a 2D variation of Mario Galaxy, in which you hop from planet to planet, except you do so in a traditional Super Mario Bros. fashion.
Wow! I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting Daisy to be in a Mario game! It feels reassuring.
Thanks for reading.

I'm not a fan of planet-hopping platforming. The level design is pretty ugly.
Yeah I know, it kinda does reflect how space is mostly empty but I doubt Nintendo is clever enough to think of that. I think they just put random platforms strewn across the level and that you need launch stars to go to them....and it looks grand and stuff but in actuality it looks pretty hideous, and realism for space travel, especially how far apart things are, is NOT what you want to add in an interactive entertainment media.

I also don't like how the gravity mechanic is inconsistently handled.
Like some platforms, you can stand only "up" as in traditional Mario platformers while in others you can walk around (Puzzle Plank Galaxy being one of those offenders, it really IS inconsistent with the gravity). Also, if you're going to establish Black Holes as endless pits in the game, actually use them as endless pits rather than tossing endless pits in what's supposed to be a space game where those logically cannot exist unless the planet has endless pits in its own (like use them in Rolling Star Galaxy or Loop-dee-Swoop Galaxy, instead of just a generic endless pit).
Yeah for a space game, the gravity has been literally the same throughout the entire game. I don't think there was a single level where your gravity changed in velocity, only in direction. Would have been interesting to switch between Pluto gravity and Jupiter gravity. Also, some planets could use tropes from actual planets, such as extreme winds in gas giants, worlds with diamond cores, and planets completely filled with water, not to mention hot Jupiters. I think it would also have been interesting if they based some of their galaxies after some actual galaxies; imagine a Pinwheel Galaxy or a Whirlpool Galaxy levels, both actual names for actual galaxies.
Open-world sounds fun to explore in, it's funner than just 90% of the level being empty space.

The more I think about it, the more I think Galaxy is more praised than it really deserves. 3D Land/3D World does the linearity better, while 64 and Sunshine does the exploration better. Galaxy is squat in the center, doing neither at its best in the Mario series. I think the grandiose atmosphere and presentation is the reason people like it so much, because the level design is honestly just....you know, random platform hopping with 90% empty space and nearly zero sense of progression other than flinging from a Grand Star that passes through said empty space and randomly landing in another planet because reasons.
I'm also not a fan of how 3D Land/3D World is just random platforms floating in the middle of space. Splatoon does something like this too and it's greatly irritating to keep seeing this stupid level progression being a recurring element in not just Mario but other game series as well.
A fresh idea would be to reuse older villains, like Wart, Tatanga or 
in a main series game (okay sml wasnt main series but w/e make it canon)

I'd like to see a Metroidvania styled Mario platformer. The Metroidvania genre is the next direction the 2D Mario platformers should take.
That's far beyond anything that could have possibly have been outputted by the PlayStation 2's Graphics Synthesizer.

"that" is shadow of the colossus and theres also a ps3 version so we can compare that very well

Stay off this text, jerks! He has personal issues.
While Galaxy definitely isn't free from this level design, its levels felt better designed than Galaxy 2's levels.
It's not necessarily the only one it could take and IMO not the best one to take, but I do agree that the next main 2D Mario game should bring changes to the usual formula after it has been used so many times without many substantial changes.Pwwnd123 said:

Sorry I have been gone for a while. My computer was broken and Kamek said he forgot the spell to fix it, although I think he just sees me as a waste of time. Anyway I came up with an idea for a storyline where Mario, Luigi, and Toad are locked in a max-security prison in Bowser's kingdom, although Nabbit busts them out. (Also, Nabbit would not be permanently invincible in this game. There is a powerup giving characters the ability to use their own special abilities.) Any ideas for expanding on this story?
