This is what Mario might look had the game been developed in the age of load times by a company other than Nintendo. How different would Mario be today if another company conceived the “Jump Man” idea? (Hint: We’re looking for witty post comments.) [Image courtesy of Joystiq]

If Mario had been made by Sony, then we would have a Grand Theft Mario Kart, in which we would have some "Hot Mushroom" Action with Peach. But if M$ had Mario, you could guess that he would be packing an SMG right next to Master Chief on Halo: Combat Smash Bros.Can you imagine Monks doing the Mario THeme? Sweeeeeeet.KLind
Mario would probably be hanging out with Guybrush Threepwood, Manny Calavera, Zak McKracken, King Graham, Roger Wilco, Bobbin Threadbare, and Duke Nukem.
LOL.
What the hell?! Why is my name xx–jfp–xx?!
For some reason, when I post…it says my blogger name is xx–jfp–xx.What the heck?
To xX–JFP–Xx or Miles Prower 707: I dunno whats going on when you post, But I think you were accidently signed into someone elses account.To Everyone: What if it was a company that didn't make games? Like… McDonald's? Instead of Ronald McDonald, It would be Mario McDonald! Or what if Mario was in a hollywood buisness? Comming soon: a movie by Andy and Larry Wachowski. Super Mario, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving in The Mario Matrix.
Mario would probably do a better job than that doof Keano Reeves.
Please, If Sony or Microsoft owned Mario, they'd try and make him have "street cred", and put him in games with fast sleek looking cars, guns, and change his appearence a little.They'd give him a bandana with the M on it, he wouldnt be as fat, he'd be taller, more proportional body, and he would have baggy blue jeans with a gun hanging out his pocket, also with a red sweater.He'd have one, two games top.And they would both suck.Oh. And he wouldnt be their company mascot.I'd think of more things, but Im too hungry. Im going to get some pie.
there was a mcdonalds game for the genesis, i have it :). if some indie developer made mario, there would be a more confusing story and lots of cutscenes.
Well… if Mario wasn't a Nintendo franchise then Nintendon't and there simply would NO MARIO AT ALL.
I have a thought! Mario Toothpaste!! Goomba flavor, Mushroom flavor and, Koopa flavor.Mario shoes! With arch support for speed runs! Built tough to really crush those poor goombas.Mario hats! Built strong to withstand hitting ? Blocks!
If Microsoft owned Mario they would have named something like Max Bullet or something like that.If Sony had created Mario, he would have been at least in a movie trilogy about him. They would have made him a robot instead of that Qrio, and would be the mascot of the Walkman, which would have been called "The Jumpman" instead. And everyone would have hated Mario since he is too kiddie and Princess peach Would have giant breast and would have all kinds of games featuring her. And they would have made him realistic to look more like unknown actor who played Mario since movie number 1.
Mario would probably be a first person shooter by now.
If Mario were owned by Microsoft, then he would be just another throwaway, cliche character that kills, steals, buys hookers, and stars in car/FPS games, and another game like that is the last thing this world needs. Peach…well, we know what peach would be like. Just think of how little clothing you can put on her, and then you have Peach.If Sony owned Mario, he would be the main character of a RPG. But not like Paper Mario, more like Final Fantasy, with a bunch of flashy graphics and wierd things that glow at the bottom of your feet, and what feels like the dissability to dodge (I'm sorry, but I like to actually play my games). The story would either be really good and everyone would love it, or it would really suck and everyone would tell everyone else how bad it is and it would tank, and thus we would have to wait for the next unneccessary sequel and hope that it is one of the good ones (Magic Mario XII anyone?).If Mario belonged to Lifetime (that aweful television network that was made to target and scare poor housewives and misinform them about real-life issues), he would not be the main character. Peach would. Here's Super Princess Peach, the Lifetime Special Event:Princess Peach has a really high-class, metropolitan city job (probably works for a magazine or is a wedding planner) and is looking for the man of her dreams. She finally finds a man named Mario and everything about him is *perfect*, until she suspects him of cheating or something, then she no longer thinks that he is the *perfect man.* Finally, somewhere around the end and with some degree of mouthing and useless dialogue randomly spitting from the comic relief of the story (probably Luigi or Toad, niether of which serve any other purpouse in the film but to be comical), it is realized that the person who told Peach that Mario was cheating on her was actually lying to get to mario herself (I dunno, maybe Daisy or Wendy O. Koopa? Who else could it be?), and in this jumble of realization, everyone gets revenge on that mean and nasty person, perhaps by writing a bad article about them or throwing wedding cake or something. And then the antagonist is put into jail or leaves town or something, and Mario and Peach live happily ever after in their metropolitan, classy apartment.The End.I hate Lifetime.
