Email: Ideas for New Mario Worlds

Yo Malstrom,

I liked the article you made asking for ideas on new Super Mario
worlds. Reminds me of the other one where you asked us what we wanted
from a Nintendo console. So here are some ideas on new worlds for a
new SMB.

Crystal Mountain
Taking the crystal world and underground worlds and combining them,
how about a large mountain massive enough to house giant crystal
caverns?. Vanilla dome was already a big hill with a cave in it, so
it’s not much of a stretch.

Fire Jungle
I know we already have the toxic Jungle in the NSMB games, but maybe a
fire jungle instead would be more original. Imagine all the exotic
fierey fauna bristling with burning spores and teeming with
firebreathing jungle animals. It could even be explained as the origin
of the Fire Flowers and fire spitting Pirhana Plants. Perhaps there
would be a special fire flower power up exclusive to this world that
lets you throw special fireballs.

Return to Subcon
Aside from all the self explanatory, Subcon is also ripe for new power
ups with all those vegetables. Maybe even a rideable birdo that can
spit eggs?

Nightmare Subcon
If Subcon is a dreamlike realm, there could be another side to it that
is nightmarish. There’s so many possibilities, that I can’t even think
of them. :P

Sarasaland
Speaking of worlds that need to be reintroduced, Sarasaland is
something I want Nintendo to acknowledge again. Unlike Subcon,
however, Sarasaland is too varied to be just one world. There should
be at least three worlds dedicated to Sarasaland.

Bowser’s Factory
I like the mechanical world idea you came up, but it would be weird
just to have all that machinery sitting there producing nothing. The
factory would be where the machinery is used to build the warships and
cannons, along with those Mechakoopas and Kuribo’s Shoes. The enemies
could be robotic versions of normal foes like goombas and koopas,
along with those gopher engineers from the airships.

Musical World
I got this idea from the Koopa kids, since most of them are named
after famous singers. Enemies shaped like notes, Magikoopas with
conductor wands, pipes shaped like horns, there’s a lot of
wonderlandish things you can do with this theme.

I hope I didn’t send this email too late for it to be posted. Here’s
hoping that Nintendo takes a page from these responses (even if they
most likely won’t). Take care, and hope you do more articles like
these involving us readers!

It’s interesting that people are suggesting the same things. People seem to like Vanilla Dome, a factory/machine level, Subcon, and the Music World idea. People also want to go back to the realm of Super Mario Land 1.

In fact, it is… What’s this? This post is being interrupted!

“Hello readers of this site. I am the Shigeru Miyamoto. I am interupting this blog post to tell you to WAKE UP from all these fun little world ideas you guys are dreaming. You guys will only be doing the same old worlds, over and over, for the next 2d Mario game that we shouldn’t have to make until at least half a decade from now (hahahaha). In fact, we may not ever make another 2d Mario again. So enjoy your Mii-verse and NSMB 2 coin collecting because that’s as good as it is going to get! Bahahahahahha!”



My goodness. Editor, what happened? What? What was The Miyamoto doing commandeering this website? He said WHAT? Oh dear…
