My idea for a great Mario/Sonic Crossover
Paper Mario: The Sonic Chronicles
While I don't think Sticker Star is the horrid thing, some are making it out to be, I am quite ready for Nintendo to get back to making a more traditional Mario RPG. Paper Mario was the series that tended to break Mario out of his complacent "Bowser kidnaps the Princess" straightforward storyline of the platformers and more importantly the Mario RPGs in general poked fun at the clichés of the series and for me Thousand Year Door was the peak of that series and one of my favorite Mario games with a surprisingly dark story.
Since Sega and Nintendo think the two platforming styles wouldn't gel, an RPG would be a nice alternative. Plus I want to see cute, chibi paper versions of the Sonic characters.
The story goes that Mario and Luigi hear that Bowser has kidnapped Peach so they rush to Bowser's castle to save her only to have Bowser trap them with his newest plan, with the help of Kammy and Kameck, they attempt to suck Mario and Luigi into a parallel dimension but it goes wrong and they all get sucked in. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and all his troops. Mario crash lands in Mobius Yes I still say Sonic lives in Mobius and if you try to correct me YOU ARE WRONG!! Sonic finds Mario lying there and takes him back to his village where some of his friends are. Eventually they learn about what happens and Sonic tells Mario that the way to get him home is to find the Chaos Emeralds. So instead of looking for Mario's plot Maguffins, we're looking for Sonic's plot maguffins. Stars. Emeralds. They're both like the Tessarac which basically can do whatever the writers want it to.
So Mario's sidekicks for this outing are, Sonic and friends who each use their special powers to assist Mario both traveling and in battle. Soanyone who played the first 2 Paper Marios knows exactly how this would work. Sonic could carry Mario quickly like the baby Yoshi in Thousand year door. Tails fly Mario over gaps. Amy uses her hammer to smash switches and such. You get the idea. You get to fight both Eggman robots and Mario baddies. Mario traverses Sonic themed levels like Green Hill, etc.
Meanwhile Bowser meets up with Eggman and they decide they can team up and conquer both worlds. Peach is still captured but maybe we can get back to her getting to do something like send messages to Mario. Even better I figured out a great part for Luigi. Those who played Super Paper Mario will love this. Mr. L returns!! Luigi after landing in Mobius, loses his memory and is found by Eggman robots, Bowser realizes this can work to his advantage, they convince Luigi he's Mr. L, Eggman makes him a new mech and he sets out to stop Mario and Sonic.
I would buy that in a heartbeat.
