10* Mario Party 9? After all this time? Well if it took this long, it must be good. Oh and Koopa Troopa and Shy Guy are playable.
11* Mario Party for Nintendo 3DS? Kay, that's coo-wait, [[http://mariopartylegacy.com/2013/04/rosalina-spotted-in-mario-party-3ds/ IS THAT ROSALINA?!]]
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I69x8Bvm9zM&list=FLg7Yw0vxIr5Ze_DZek8nTPw&index=2 Mario Party 10]], huh? All right what do you have in sto-'''YOU CAN PLAY AS BOWSER?!?!?'''
13** Amiibo support huh? That's pretty nic- DONKEY KONG IS PLAYABLE AGAIN?!
14** OH MY GOD, ROSALINA'S PLAYABLE?! I'M IN!
15** Amiibo party? Hmm. What is it abo- WAIT IT'S THE ORIGINAL MARIO PARTY STYLE? WITHOUT THE [[ScrappyMechanic STUPID CAR]] OR THE [[ReplacementScrappy STUPID MINI-STARS]]!?!?!? HOLY CRAP [[HellYesMoment THIS IS THE BEST!!!]]
16* MARIO PARTY'S BEST MINIGAMES ARE BEING REMADE! '''LET THE FLAILING COMMENCE!!!'''
17* Super Mario Party has been announced! And [[ScrappyMechanic the car]] is gone! Woo! And [[RevisitingTheRoots we're going back to the original Mario Party style]]! '''THE TRUE MARIO PARTY THAT RUINS FRIENDSHIPS RETURNS!'''
18** And once again can you play as Bowser...'''but now, in regular Mario Party!!'''
19** Let's see our party guest list. We already got Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Yoshi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser and Donkey Kong. We even got [[TheBusCameBack Dry Bones, Boo, Hammer Bro, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Bowser Jr and Diddy Kong]] invited! [[UnexpectedCharacter Goomba, Monty Mole and Pom Pom]] are also joining the party as well! '''THIS IS THE ULTIMATE PARTY!'''
20* ''Mario Party Superstars''? It's only been 3 years since the last game, and I doubt anything's changed since-wait a minute, '''YOU'RE GOING BACK TO THE CLASSIC GAMEPLAY OF THE HUDSON SOFT INSTALLMENTS? WITHOUT THE CAR? AND FEATURING BOARDS AND MINIGAMES FROM THE OLDER INSTALLMENTS AS WELL?!''' There is a God.

22[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2]]
23* Well, the first game was pretty good, but I feel like a sequel would pretty much just be a rehash of the fir... MARIO'S RIDING YOSHI!! DO WANT!!
24* That [[ThisIsADrill drill powerup]] is where it's at.
25* When they said that there were going to be over 240 Stars, people wondered whether it would actually be that many, or if it would be split between Mario and Luigi like the original. However, as the page image shows, Luigi is available early on and can be used instead of Mario if you choose from that point on.
26** The Green Stars (the 2nd half of the 240 stars) aren't really proper star missions, they're just hidden in the levels rather than actually being proper missions.
27* The game features a classic level from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64''.
28
29[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand]]
30* OK, yeah, we all knew there was going to be a ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' game on the 3DS, no shocke-WAITASECOND! Is that a [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 A RACCOON TAIL]] ON THE LOGO!?!?!?
31* Not to mention, it's being developed by EAD Tokyo, the team behind the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' series.
32* [[ButWaitTheresMore Not to mention...]] (deep breath) ''[[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome this game is going to blend the free-roaming gameplay of the 3D Mario titles with the power-up system of the 2D Mario titles, Small Mario INCLUDED.]]'' See where this is going?
33* Yeah, I see it [[{{Pun}} GOING]] to include the cult favorite Tanooki suit and the boss, Boom-Boom.
34* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy''-esque visuals, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 fla]][[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros gpo]][[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii les]]...man, just about everything about the game is one damn big ATFR after another.
35* Not to mention that one of the levels is taken straight from one of the early Zelda games, top-down viewpoint included!
36* So the Tanooki Suit was nerfed by taking away it's flight and statue abi--Oh, new pictures! What do they sho-[[http://www.thesixthaxis.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/luigi.jpg is that Tanooki Statue Luigi]]? Hinting at playable Luigi and that maybe the Tanooki Suit will get the statue ability after all?! And a [[http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=163208&sid=6a9030ef1a68de198146f563ed9e8883 BOOMERANG BROS SUIT]]???!!! All is forgiven Nintendo!!
37* [[http://ds.ign.com/articles/121/1210817p1.html Playable Luigi is confirmed!]] Looks like we'll be getting the statue ability for the Tanooki Suit, too, and Street Pass bonuses for the Toad Houses as well.
38* A recent video has shown a special gray leaf. It is this item that will allow you to transform into a statue along with the usual Tanooki Mario abilities!
39
40[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld]]
41* When the game was first announced, some fans were excited because for the first time in ''a quarter of a century,'' Princess Peach is playable in a mainline Mario title. You know what they say about payback, Bowser....
42** Not only is the Princess playable, but Blue Toad is too. This makes the roster Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Blue Toad. [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2 Sound familiar?]]
43* After its first announcement in E3, there has been a section of fans who ''were'' underwhelmed by the game, claiming it to be [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks far too similar]] to its [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand predecessor]] and lacking "real" new content that hasn't been done in another ''Mario'' game. These opinions have lightened up ''considerably'' after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLOKVABfrzw another trailer]] was shown at the beginning of October 2013 that demonstrates multiple elements unique to this game:
44** Not only is there a World Map, it is now fully explorable, allowing you to walk off the paths and even jump.
45** There's a new cherry power-up that clones you! It even copies your other power-ups, meaning you could have an army of Fire Marios throwing a barrage of fireballs.
46** The tanks from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' are back!
47** You can wear a Bill Blaster block as a power-up!
48** You can carry a friendly Piranha Plant to eat your enemies!
49** There's a level where you become a shadow on the wall!
50** Bowser fights you while driving a CoolCar!
51** Chargin' Chucks return! After years of being absent from the Mario series!
52** The [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Comet Observatory]] is in the game and plays some sort of role!
53* You can race against up to three other people's Miis as {{Racing Ghost}}s online.
54* [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Rosalina]]]] is a playable character!
55* [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 The Goomba Shoe]] is back, sort of. It's more of a Goomba Skate, but it's still fun to use!
56* On a similar subject, there's going to be a [[VideoGame/CaptainToadTreasureTracker full-fledged game]] based of the "Adventures of Captain Toad" levels!
57
58[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker]]
59* The ''biggest'' bomb for the ''{{Franchise/Super Mario Bros}}'' franchise has, at long last, been dropped: ''[[LevelEditor user-generated Mario levels]] will eventually become a reality '''without''' the need to hack a game''. It took them a while, but still, this possibility finally seems to be coming after all. And no, we're not talking about the LevelEditor seen in the ''VideoGame/MarioVsDonkeyKong'' series: [[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/12/user_created_mario_stages_are_a_possibility_in_the_future we're talking about the real deal!]]
60* Oh, that big bomb? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLS458ekSEI Right here?]] It's '''''GONNA BLOW!'''''
61* In addition to the original ''VideoGame/{{Super Mario Bros|1}}.'' and ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', you can also make levels in the style of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''.
62* The [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Raccoon Leaf]] is back, meaning power-ups won't be limited to ones present in the first ''Super Mario Bros.''
63* No longer content with being a [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld skate]] or a [[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar sticker]], the bonafide [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Kuribo's Shoe]], one of the most beloved power-ups in the series, is back! It also has an alternate appearance in the form of a high heel!
64* The game has some brand new power-ups, like a Spiny Helmet that can kill Thwomps!
65* The [[PlatformHell devious]] yet [[Awesome/VideoGameLevels awesome]] levels from the Nintendo World Championships will be included in the game!
66* ''Any'' Toys/{{amiibo}} besides the Miis can be used as a costume in the game, including [[HilariousInHindsight Sonic]], [[UnexpectedCharacter Chibi-Robo, Wii Fit Trainer, Isabelle]], [[VillainProtagonist Bowser]], and the [[VideoGame/MarioKart8 pre]][[VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld viously]]-[[ScrewedByTheLawyers snubbed]] Franchise/{{Pokemon}}. And you don't even need the figurines to unlock the costumes; you can also unlock them by beating the 100-Mario Challenge, which pleased fans who didn't want to buy them all or were having trouble finding rare amiibo.
67** The costumes aren't just limited to just those characters that have an Toys/{{amiibo}} based on them, as the line-up also includes [[VideoGame/WarioWare Ashley]] and [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Tingle]].
68** On a related note, this is the first official Mario platformer that features Waluigi, after years of just being a spin-off character.
69** After being snubbed for so many months, Daisy is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu-TZXri_6I finally confirmed for a costume]]!
70** To coincide with the [[MilestoneCelebration 20th Anniversary of]] Franchise/{{Pokemon}}, the three starter Pokemon[[note]]Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander[[/note]] from Generation I, gets their own costumes! Plus these costumes have Pokemon sound effects after being ScrewedByTheLawyers.
71** After a 4-month drought of new costumes, Nintendo finally released a new Event Course, along with a new costume Undodog! Nintendo didn't abandon the game yet.
72* The 11/4 update features CHECKPOINTS!
73
74[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2]]
75* ''Super Mario Maker 2'' is happening! And it's got more level themes, elements from ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'', and the long-requested slopes!
76* There's a multiplayer mode. And alongside Toad (blue), Toadette is here and playable in every style, including the ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1 SMB1]]'', ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 SMB3]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld SMW]]'' ones!
77
78[[AC: VideoGame/MarioTennis]]
79* Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, eh? It's just Mario Tennis Open in High Defi- THEY CAN GROW BIGGER!?
80** The Mega Mushroom was a pretty cool mechani- [[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/3/31/Rosalina_-_Mario_Tennis_Ultra_Smash.png ROSALINA IS PLAYABLE!? IN HER SPORTS OUTFIT!? AND SHE LEVITATES!?]]
81** DAISY IS BACK! Finally, [[http://www.mariowiki.com/images/c/c3/Princess_Daisy_-_Mario_Tennis_Ultra_Smash.png an HD artwork of her]] (she didn't have her new artwork render since Mario Golf: World Tour, which was last year), and she looks gorgeous.
82** An exciting launch offer for European Wii U users that if you purchase this game, you can get the original Mario Tennis for the N64 for free!
83** It's not exactly amazing, but the Green Sprixie Princess is playable, bringing a lasting element to ''3D World''!
84** Although ''Ultra Smash'' didn't get our high expectations content-wise, at least this game got great gameplay, graphics, animations and music.
85* After how bare bones ''Ultra Smash'' was, how will ''Aces'' make up for it? Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi have new tennis outfits? You can break the opponent's racket? There's a story mode like the Game Boy games? This is starting to get interesting.
86** One of the new characters is a ''[[AngryGuardDog Chain Chomp]]!''
87** Along with Petey Piranha as one of the bosses in story mode, Gooper Blooper makes a surprising appearance!
88** Koopa Troopa and Blooper will be the post-launch playable characters, unlocked when you join the July 2018 and August 2018 online tournaments respectively. Returning favorites like [[TheBusCameBack Diddy Kong, Birdo and Koopa Paratroopa]] will be added as well, for the September-November 2018 online tournaments!
89*** In the September 13, 2018 Nintendo Direct, [[TheBusCameBack Shy Guy and Petey Piranha]] are confirmed to return as well.
90*** [[TheBusCameBack Luma]] and Boom Boom will be the new additions to the roster for ''Mario Tennis Aces''. And the real "[[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey (jump up) superstar]]" of the show...Pauline will finally make her playable debut in a ''Mario'' spin-off game! The three characters will be added for the January-March 2019 online tournaments.
91*** Kamek and Dry Bones (who were non-playable opponents in Adventure) will set foot on the tennis court as new playable characters, as they will be added for the April-May online tournaments.
92*** ''Fire'' Piranha Plant [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate PIPES UP]]! And Dry Bowser returns once again. These characters will be added for the June-July online tournaments.
93
94[[AC: VideoGame/MarioAndSonicAtTheOlympicGames]]
95
96''Vancouver 2010''
97* A new Mario and Sonic Olympics title? Yawn. It doesn't take much imagination to think that they're just doing it to cash in on the hype of the Olympics for a quick bu- Wait a minute... was that Metal Sonic? On a home console game for the first time since Sonic Heroes, no less! SEGA, consider it sold.
98** Adding Bowser Jr. and a Perfect Chaos cameo helped as well.
99** Not to mention the remixes of many classic Mario and Sonic themes, including a fantastic remix of Bowser's Road and Sky Sanctuary Zone.
100** I really wished this game had Omega, King Boo, etc... BOSS BATTLE AGAINST THEM!!! Done and done!
101
102''Rio 2016''
103* They're still going on with this series after Sochi? Well...I guess it's worth a look unless...wait a minute... there are ''new'' characters in this game? [[VideoGame/SonicBoom Sticks The Badger]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU Nabbit]] and [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Diddy Kong]] are playable? Consider me interested!
104** While I like the rivals introduced in Vancouver, it would be nice to play as them- ''[[PromotedToPlayable ROUGE THE BAT AND JET THE HAWK are PLAYABLE NOW]]''? Thank you Nintendo and Sega!
105** While I like the new characters are introduced, it would be nice to finally let [[EnsembleDarkhorse Rosalina]] play in the Olympics since she's been in everything else -ROSALINA IS PLAYABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS SERIES! HELL YES!
106** [[VideoGame/SonicRiders WAVE THE SWALLOW]], LUDWIG VON KOOPA, AND WENDY KOOPA are PLAYABLE? WHO THE HELL EXPECTED THAT? No one did But I'm so GLAD it happened! Take my coins, Nintendo!
107** WHAT? There's More! We have ZAVOK, OMEGA, EGGMAN NEGA, DRY BOWSER, ROY KOOPA, LARRY KOOPA, CREAM THE RABBIT, and ESPIO THE CHAMELEON joining the party! They're going ''all out'' for this game for sure!
108
109''Tokyo 2020''
110* Another one of these? I wonder what Sega's going to do to interest... wait a minute... "2D" events set during the 1964 Olympics, with the characters being represented by old school game sprites and play mechanics similar to ''VideoGame/TrackAndField''? I'm curious.
111
112[[AC: VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash]]
113* This game's just going to be a rehash of Sticker Star, isn't it? Why does Nintendo see ''this'' as the new Paper Mario standard? If they don't give me a reason to buy it, then--wait, [[EnsembleDarkhorse the Koopalings]] are going to have their paper selves revealed? The cards DON'T take up too much space? And on top of that, [[SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome it does look pretty gorgeous]]...this just might be worth getting.
114
115[[AC: VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey]]
116* So a new Mario game has been announced for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. Nothing too surprising, but it's doubtful they'll try anything ne-'''[[http://classicdaisycalico.tumblr.com/post/152083600569/heres-what-ive-gathered-from-the-screenshots WAAAAAAAAIT A SEC]]''', is Mario running through a Mexico-esque level with "Day of the Dead" vibes?!
117* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kcdRBHM7kM The Nintendo Switch Presentation 2017 Trailer]] reveals a bunch off new juicy bits. For starters, the other levels that Mario can explore include a real world looking city, a lush jungle/rainforest with machinery that seems to be abandoned, and a fruit salad world with a polygony-esque design. Mario can now toss his hat like a boomerang and bounce on it like a trampoline, and seems to have his own spaceship to help him travel the world. Bowser is planning on forcing Princess Peach to marry him!, and seems to be teaming up with a bunch of new baddies, rather than the Koopalings, Bowser Jr., and/or Boom-Boom & Pom-Pom again. Oh, and the previously mentioned Mexico-esque level with "Day of the Dead" vibes also has a sphinx-like creature that Mario can ride. Yeah, "doubtful they'll try anything new" Mario's cap's newfound eyes!
118* Fans who missed the more open levels from ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', compared to the linear levels from the more recent [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand 3D]] [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld Mario]] games, were thrilled that ''Odyssey'' would be more of a WideOpenSandbox.
119* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGQHQc_3ycE E3 2017 trailer]] reveals that Mario can possess into anything, from a Goomba, Hammer Bro., Bullet Bill and '''A FREAKING T-REX!!!'''
120** Surprising that [[VideoGame/DonkeyKong Pauline]] makes her debut in a Super Mario game, and she's a mayor of New Donk City.
121* Every kingdom looks different, and they're all ''gorgeous''. This is definitely a game you'll want to take in and explore...which is why it's great that you can!
122
123[[AC: VideoGame/WarioWareGold]]
124* Oh cool, new ''[=WarioWare=]'' title! Let's see what they got in st--did [[Creator/CharlesMartinet Wario]] just speak in full sentences!? We finally have a Mario game, spin-off or otherwise, that has '''''full voice acting!?''''' Nintendo, you gotta stop doin' this to us, man!
125
126[[AC:VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder]]
127* At long last, 2D ''[[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario]]'' is finally back after [[SequelGap 10 years]]! and this time it's truly a ''brand new'' ''full-fledged'' console game instead of an UpdatedRerelease, level editor like the ''Super Mario Maker'' series, or a short mobile game like ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRun''.
128* The game has a brand new unique surrealistic art style and trippy new visuals! Alongside new and returning power-ups, including an Elephant, a Drill, and a Bubble Flower power-up!
129** Some of the new power-ups look unique as well.
130** The game not reusing the aesthetics and music from ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' is great news for those who had problems with their re-usage in ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' and ''especially'' ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2''; and appreciate the game being more ''original''.
131* Besides mainstays Mario, Luigi, [[UnexpectedCharacter unexpected characters]] Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Yoshi, and Toad return as playable characters from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRun'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''!
132* Peach is not a DamselInDistress? And Daisy will ''at long last'' make her debut in a mainline console game? Thanks to the multiplayer mode, the Princesses will finally be able to adventure together for the first time!
133* Rounding up the roster, Toadette and Nabbit are also confirmed to return as playable characters from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRun'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2'', and ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU''[='=]s DLC ''VideoGame/NewSuperLuigiU'' and its ''Deluxe'' UpdatedRerelease.
134* Character specific abilities from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'', ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'', and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRun'' return! and this time they're not specific to each character and can be equipped into anyone using ability badges! this means that each character's active and passive abilities can be customized to one's desire!
135* The game is confirmed to have 4 player simultaneous CoOpMultiplayer like ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and ''Super Mario Maker 2'' alongside various different new and returning online features!
136** When playing online solo, it's still possible to use online features! It's possible see the ghosts of other players in levels and the world map in real time and while they can't bounce off the player's head or defeat enemies for them, they can still be interacted with to give them power-ups or use them to revive yourself.
137** When playing online multiplayer it's possible to pair with up to 12 players in a Co-Op Room and play with up to 4 players simultaneously on a single course like in ''Super Mario Maker 2'' (with the same restrictions as when playing solo, however) for the first time in a traditional 2D Mario game!
138* New challenges where players can compete to finish a level or an objective as fast as possible are also confirmed.
139* The game is also confirmed to feature several unique new "Wonder Events" that can be triggered after interacting with a "Wonder Flower" that will make ''a lot'' of crazy different events happen!
140[[AC: Misc]]
141* I really want a copy of the ''ComicBook/SuperMarioAdventures'' graphic novel but it costs one hundred dollars on ebay and Amazon new & used. This is just a problem we'll never solv- Wait, what? It has been announced that it's coming back? They are releasing a new edition of the graphic novel? '''And there are inviting Pokemon Adventures and Dragon Ball publisher Viz Media to reprint the timeless Nintendo Power comic series?''' Yeah!
142** And to make this thing even more awesome, they are releasing it in book stores and comic book shops across The United States, as well on digital online retailers! You know what this means, ''Creator/{{Nintendo}}''??? I'm so going to get this thing when it comes out this October!
143* Looks like E3's just around the corner, so hopefully Nintendo won't disappoint-'''say that again.''' '''''[[https://mynintendonews.com/2017/05/05/nintendo-have-filed-a-trademark-for-a-bowser-spin-off-game/ Bowser might finally get his own game?]]''''' THE GODS OF VIDEO GAMING HAS ANSWERED OUR CALLS AT LAST! BRING IT ON, E3!!
144** It may be for the new side story called ''VideoGame/MinionQuestTheSearchForBowser'' in the remake of ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' on the Nintendo 3DS, announced at E3 2017. It wouldn't be the one that we're looking for, but hey, it's a mode featuring Bowser's baddies.
145* An update for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRun''? Why would they want to... Daisy is confirmed to be playable? With a similar playstyle to Peach? In a (officially considered) mainline ''Mario'' platformer?!
146** Looks like the update adds a new world with nine courses in the main mode. I don't want to expect the same course themes in this game all over agai... a Forest-themed course?
147* Remember the [[Film/SuperMarioBros1993 Mario film]] back in '93? No? Back then, the movie industry had their first attempt on debuting the first film based on a video game, and there were like less than 30 Mario games at that time. Now, with the franchise that has over 200 games and other video game franchises are entering the modern age of films, Nintendo has partnered with Creator/IlluminationEntertainment to produce an [[WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie animated Mario movie]]. ''[[http://variety.com/2017/film/news/super-mario-brothers-movie-illumination-1202614949/ It looks like]] Mario's finally coming to the big screen.''
148** Even better. Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto, the creator of ''Super Mario Bros.'', [[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/958878633652731904 will be the co-producer]]!
149* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'' barely started before the fans realized this was going to be a different kind of ride. An origami-themed villain, Toads with their faces literally punched out, new battle mechanics that make it look less like another ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar Sticker Star]]'' copy, more variety in Mario's companions... it's easy to see why fans are begging Nintendo and Intelligent Systems not to [[ParentheticalSwearing shred]] this up.
150* They may have been leaked months before hand and caused some stress from waiting for the announcement, but the confirmation that both a port of ''Super Mario 3D World'' and a compilation of ''Super Mario 64'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'', and ''Super Mario Galaxy'' would be coming to the Switch was still met with excitement.
151* The ''3D World'' port was ultimately revealed to come with its own expansion campaign called ''Bowser's Fury'', in-which Mario and Bowser Jr. actually team up to fight Bowser, who became kaiju-sized as '''Fury Bowser''' and went into an uncontrollable rampage. How do you stop him? By ringing the Giga Bell to turn Mario into a giant glowing cat form!
152** Just when it seemed like the core game wouldn't come with anything new, the announcement of co-op multiplayer for the Captain Toad levels was a welcome surprise, for anyone who wished for it in the Wii U original.
153* ''[[VideoGame/MarioGolf Mario Golf Super Rush]]'' had some of its skeptics won over with some interesting character choices for the default roster, including King Bob-Omb, Pauline (both having been DLC in prior sports titles)...and the hilariously incongruous presence of Chargin' Chuck!
154* Man it's been a long time since we had a ''VideoGame/MarioStrikers'' game...Guess we'll have to wait a bit...wait a second, ''Mario Strikers: Battle League?'' YES!
155* During the Nintendo Direct of June 2023, a shot of the opening scene of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' appears. Maybe it's appearing on Nintendo Switch Online? ''Nope''. It quickly gives way to a modern-day rendition of the opening. Long believed to be impossible due to trademark issues, [[CueTheFlyingPigs the impossible has happened]]: ''Super Mario RPG'' is getting a Switch remake!
156* Similar to the above, the September 2023 Nintendo Direct would end with the announcement of a full remake/remaster of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', with stunning visual updates and all the partners and classic turn-based gameplay intact.
