A few concept paper Mario games I came up with. Each one with unique style and feature. If any of you have any concepts or questions of your own, just leave them in the comments.
1.glitter popstar.
Glitter star would take place in the arts and crafts universe (like sticker star, paint splash, and origami king). In this game, Mario, peach, Luigi and toad would go to a music competition. While there they were meet some of the contestants, a band of five little fairy like creatures called “glitter fairies”, an old ninji with a flute, an a cappella group of piranha plants, and bowser and his rock band of minions. Whoever wins, the music competition will get a large amount of money. The glitter fairies want to use it to save their forest home, while Bowser wants to use it to buy a new car. Mario, peach, Luigi and toad now have to help the glitter fairies win the competition. The main feature in this game would be music battles. in which you would have to use the magical glitter of the fairies to amplify your singing, power and defeat Bowser‘s minions, who are trying to sabotage you.
2. Dawn of darkness.
Dawn of darkness would take place in the less paper aware universe (thousand your door, and paper Mario 64). this game follows the classic paper Mario system of “collect/destroy a certain amount of objects to unlock the final phase of the game” like tyd & ok, in this case a dark entity called “shrouthak” has assembled an army of rogue Bowser minions. They’ve been convinced by the dark entity to rebel against Bowser and take over both kingdoms. They don’t want any kings queens are law-enforcement anymore. The rebellion is led by a group of enemies Who’ve been gifted powers by the the entity. Now it’s up to Mario and his team of friends to venture across the land and collect pieces of an ancient sword to reassemble it, well at the same time destroying an equal amount of shadow towers that are keeping the surrounding areas in pitch darkness. Mario and his friends must take down each of them and regain the sword piece that it has.
3. The champions challenge.
Champions challenge would be sort of its own game. It would be a lot like a dnd game (in the theme that is, not gameplay.). Mario gets invited to partake in historical event that hasn’t taken place for at least 5000 years. That is “the champions challenge”, an ancient gladiatorial competition between heroes and Warriors from many different lands. Bowser partakes in this competition as well, in fact, it was him who restarted these games. Mario would not have a partner/partners in this game. In trade of that he would get powerful weapons, like a mace, a trident, a spear, a sword, a shield. Mario will have to fight his way through waves of new and old enemies, fellow champions, and partake in some of the most dangerous obstacle courses ever made.
4. Robo smasher.
This game would be sort of a mix between paper Mario & Mario and Luigi. With the sort of teamwork system of M&L but with the also likable paper them. In this game Bowser has created an army of robots, each one resembling one of his soldiers. Goombas, koopas, shy guys, pokeys, thwomps, chain chomps, piranha plants, wigglers, etc. all of them now have robot look-alikes. The themes range from steam punk, Star Wars, patchwork, terminator, and various others. Bowser has five main factories spread all throughout his kingdom. It’s up to Mario to destroy these factories before the army is done being built, and save the mushroom Kingdom from Bowser literal iron fist. Again, there would be no partner for this game. But just like that robot Kirby game. Mario would have a Meck suit.
In these various games, dozens of new enemies would be introduced. Some of them coming back from previous games like “Mario Odyssey”, “Mario 64” and “sunshine”. There would also be dozens of completely brand new enemies. An example of this is the “quack stack”. It functions very closely to a pokey except for the fact that it’s a bunch of ducks stacked up on another. They also spit water as an attack. There are many other new enemies I’ve come up with, and if this gets enough likes, I’ll make a part two where I talk about some of the new enemies.
