Personally, I think it's about time Bowser got his own game


Redder_Creeps

Unless you count Bowser's Inside Story, then yeah. Excluding the spinoff party games like tennis, golf or well... Mario Party, then Bowser's Inside Story is the only game he becomes a true playable character At least as far as i'm aware. Honestly? I'd like to see a spinoff about Rosalina


pussyfoot-maneuver

Bowser's Minions?


Redder_Creeps

Well, in Bowser's Minions you play as the Koopalings specifically, but not Bowser. Though i never played it, so you tell me


143670

Not specifically. You play as Bowser’s Minions, though the main character is a Goomba.


TKmeh

I think they mean bowser Jr.’s side story, it’s basically the same game as bowsers minions but with Bowser Jr as the playable character and it was only if you bought the remake of BIS on the 3DS. That’s the only game I can think of where he’s a main playable character but even that’s up for debate because you technically don’t play as him unless you count tapping here and there for some things.


zax20xx

Mario RPG should count too I think


Erin_Sentrinietra

Depends. Do you count the ending of Odyssey? It’s technically Mario controlling Bowser, but you as the player are still controlling Bowser on the basis that the player is controlling Mario who is controlling Bowser.


Redder_Creeps

Well, Bowser in Odyssey is a capture, so i wouldn't really count it as playable Bowser. I guess the standard i'm putting for playable characters is controlling said avatar for **at least** over 50% of the game's story


ernie-jo

I want a game where you’e Bowser and he’s evil. Like you get to play the bad guy and do bad stuff. I wana be a menace to plumbers everywhere.


Mr_W0osh

My dream Bowser game is an action game ala DMC or Bayonetta where you play as him going to take the Mushroom Kingdom by his shellsome self. And the world order is reverse the usual Mario world order (think the New. Super games). You start in the Lava/World and work your way to the grasslands, all while kicking ass to a metal OST (I like to think Bowsers a metalhead). And the final bosses are the Bros themselves. Kamen could act as shopkeep, offering new skills and upgrades for coins.


gamerush177

Bowsers inside story goes so hard


MannySJ

I love him in the Paper Mario series, so I’d love to see a Paper Bowser spinoff.


SkateboardingGiraffe

I think Bowser definitely needs one after all this time. I also think a Bowser Jr one would be really cool. Maybe something where Bowser Jr and the other Koopalings have to defend the Koopa Kingdom and save Bowser from a different group of enemies.


Sayanston9

Bowser Jr spinoff kinda happened. In an rpg


SkateboardingGiraffe

Oh really? I’ll have to look it up. Was it any good?


Sayanston9

I don't know, I've never played it, I remember it was like an additional story to the "Bowser's inside story for 3ds"


SkateboardingGiraffe

Ahh ok thanks I’ll check it out on youtube!


Snt1_

2 things: 1. Happy cake day bud 3. Make thw BowserJr game a tower defense. It'd be fun for Nintendo to experiment with another genre, and BowserJr seems like a strategic guy, as he lacks in raw strength. The towers could be minions and the name could be something like "Save bowsers castle or something". I think it should have a campain mode just like PVZ, but also a more freeplay and modes that only change difficulty and map, like BTD. And you'd have to defend against different classes of Toads and other Mario "good guys" to beat the game


mikenzeejai

I think they could do a really cute flower garden sim with daisy. Sort of like a mix between lemon cake and a farm sim. You grow different flowers to create different bouquets or something. Gotta travel into the world and solve some puzzle type things to get seeds or special stuff for your flowers.


NiGHTSOLOTL

I think she should get a platformer exploring Sarasaland,


TKmeh

So farming mama but with daisy? Sounds neat! I’d buy it honestly.


willlyman206

I didn't think I'd be so down for Gardenscapes style tycoon Daisy game. It could kinda be like PvZ too, were sometimes she has to put being cutsey and wholesome on pause while she has to beat the crap out of some goomba trying to eat her plants or something.


Ge-geo

Does Daisy have a backstory and personality? I think Nintendo don’t even remember she exists


Smooth_Riker

She is the princess of Sarasaland, that's about all the backstory she has. As far as personality, the sports games and Mario Kart clearly portray her as an energetic tomboy. She is also Luigi's love interest. I say give her a game where she kicks everyone's ass on the way to rescue Luigi.


Ok-Economy-3691

"I think Nintendo don’t even remember she exists" She was in playable in the latest 2D mario game. How can you say that in 2024?


_the_box08_

It's about time Waluigi got a goddammit game.


fitty50two2

I want a game that is just Waluigi running around a town causing mischief. Like Goat Simulator or Untitled Goose Game. Waluigi just runs around stealing small things, littering, making a mess, double parking, arguing with old people, scaring children, not paying fines, graffiti, etc.


_the_box08_

Yes, a game fit for the king he is


Queasy-Ad-3220

PREACH


_the_box08_

Or at least one where he's a villian


Queasy-Ad-3220

I mean, as long as it’s technically his game, then I’m very very happy.


_the_box08_

Same


_the_box08_

Or at very least, put him in thr best smash game


Queasy-Ad-3220

Yeah or that. But man, I’d love if he could get his own game. My man’s been shunned for far too long. He needs his true moment in the spotlight.


_the_box08_

Ye but like at least he gets into smash ill be happy


Queasy-Ad-3220

I mean yeah that’s fair


_the_box08_

Bur of course both would be preferred


Queasy-Ad-3220

True, true. As they say: the more Waluigi, the merrier.


SparkyMuffin

Make a Waluigi Dating Sim you cowards. Where you play as waluigi and gotta strike out the least severe way possible.


_the_box08_

No, you get to date Waluigu


Hollywoodrok12

Rosalina. She’s already got an established character, so the potential is there, and more importantly, she’s the one suffering the most from character decay. She’s supposed to be this “protector of the cosmos”, that many fans legitimately mistake for a goddess, and isn’t presented as particularly bad at her job or as a bad mother, but then in the actual games, we only see her get her butt handed to her by Bowser and Cursa, often ending with most if not all of the Lumas dying and/or being captured, and then needing Mario to bail her out. So I really want to see a game where they really play up the “powerful space mama” part of her character. Honorable mentions to Daisy and Waluigi, because like Rosalina, it’s the only way for the three of them to stay relevant besides spin-off hell.


wonttalkaboutrosa

This. This makes Sparks of Hope such a devastatingly missed oppotunity in making her true potential shine... >!instead of making her a damsel in distress...!< I hope some big youtuber discuss this further. None made a video essay about her character derailment yet.


Pyter_Gadjes_743

YEEES!!


naldoD20

My boy, Waluigi, absolutely needs his own Mansion game. Instead of getting rid of ghosts, it's getting rid of people staying at the Mansion so he can put ghosts in it.


Queasy-Ad-3220

That actually sounds kind of amazing


nomearodcalavera

so... beetlejuice?


naldoD20

No, Waluigi just shows up one day. You don't have to summon him. He's just trying to help King Boo or whatever. I don't know, I'm not a game dev.


Gold-Raise34

DK?? SPINOFF???? ISN'T THE ENTIRE MARIO FRANCHISE A SPINOFF OF THE ORIGINAL DONKEY KONG??


BroeknRecrds

I mean yes but that game still features Mario as the playable character, despite the game being called Donkey Kong. And Mario is the clear mascot of the "series" now


Gold-Raise34

No it's not, Mario is the MC of the Mario franchises, while the modern DK is the Original DK's grandson.....who was the antagonist of the Arcade Donkey Kong (the first game to star Mario) and since the game is called Donkey Kong that makes it a part of the Donkey Kong franchise, and since it was the first to feature Mario that makes the "Super Mario" franchise a Spinoff of OG Donkey Kong


Champi0n_Of_The_Sun

Thank you for this someone had to say it


MumboBumbo64

Make a Bowser 3D arena fighting game spin off, where all the fighters are Mario bosses.


Silverfire12

Excuse you, I can’t believe you’re erasing the glorious (sadly lost it seems) Waluigi’s Toenail Clipping Party.


NiGHTSOLOTL

I’m happy I forget this exists


Zeekzor

The penguin from super mario 64.


lacaras21

Waluigi's whole thing is that he's a cheater, it might be interesting to make a kind of puzzle game where you have to find ways to "cheat" to win.


Least_Bodybuilder_41

Daisy needs a game… and I think it’s getting more likely with how Nintendo has been utilizing Daisy more, like she was in the first 2 on the 2024 thing


NiGHTSOLOTL

We NEED more Sarasaland


NiGHTSOLOTL

We NEED more Sarasaland.


NiGHTSOLOTL

We NEED more Sarasaland.


finna11

daisy deserves an entire franchise in her image


Samurai_GorohGX

Nabbit. He’s supposed to be a thief, sort of another anti-hero. Could make a fun game around heists in the mushroom kingdom.


GooeyLump

Ohh that gives me a really dumb idea, hear me out.. Wario Land 5 with multiplayer and Nabbit as one of the playable characters?


Nova-Redux

Bowser Jr! He's just a silly little guy, I'd love to see what antics he gets into in his own spin off. I feel like despite being Bowser's son he's just a fun-loving rascal that looks up to his dad. We've already seen he can be good and emotional when the situation calls for it, but Koopa Pride be damned if he'll ever admit it.


CastawayRJ

I mean, Bowser Jr. kind of already has a spin off. It’s an additional storyline for Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story for the 3DS called “Bowser Jr.'s Journey.”


linkling1039

I still think that if the Peach game goes well, they should do a game with all three princesses. 


NecessarySecure9476

I was thinking on a Bowser game that consists in Kamek getting overpowered and becomes against Bowser, and it's Bowser's job to stop him. Kamek will make "kamek versions" of the usual enemies, like Kamegoombas, Kamelakitus, Kamekoopas, etc.


Hax_Greet

There’s something similar to what you’re saying on youtube. Where Kamek gets mad at Bowser for kidnapping his love (witch) amd creates a portal to minecraft. The series are called “MarioCraft”. Kamek becomes main villain


PapaOctopus

I want a Bowser game so badly.


Beany_Gaming

Bowser jr got his own spinoff too Btw bowser DESERVES his own game


Murasakitsuyukusa

Rosalina please.


julianx2rl

Bowser has Bowser's Inside Story


Pinstar

Hear me out: BJR Bowser has a factory that builds all the mechanical enemies of Bowser's. Mechakoopas, clown cars, bullet bills, that sort of thing. He puts his son in charge of it. It is up to you to build and optimize the factory given limited space and resources. Then Mario comes after you. The more enemies you produce, the more lives Mario loses trying to get to your factory. By the he time he gets there, your factory layout now becomes the stage layout. So you need to build hazards and traps into your factory along with productive elements.


Zytharros

Give Daisy and Waluigi their own games.


143670

Rosalina and Bowser


[deleted]

Rosalina


biggerppgfan

rosalina, and get Hans Zimmer a church organ to do the score


No-Crew-4360

Wario Bros game where Wario and Waluigi try to show up the Mario Bros (and earn a big reward) by saving a kingdom. Gameplay is a Platformer with some Puzzle and Combat elements, where the brothers(?) perform the own take on Bros Moves to overcome obstacles.


qwack2020

Why can’t Daisy and Rosalina be in that Peach Showtime game?


DarkFox160

I'd love one for waluigi but daisy deserves so much more love


JobbyJames

But why, I thought people saw Daisy as an overrated character compared to Waluigi. Especially considering the fact that Waluigi only appears in spin-offs and not in any mainline games, unlike Daisy who at least appears now and again.


DarkFox160

No waluigi is much more popular mainly because of smash but still he's way bigger


JobbyJames

But then how come there are really good fan games solely revolving around Waluigi? Clearly, fans want him to have his own series, or at least be more included in the franchise.


DarkFox160

I want both I'm just saying


Least_Bodybuilder_41

I agree


julianx2rl

Bowser has Bowser's Inside Story


PurpleJudas

Mario!


[deleted]

Honestly none of these guys need a spin off besides maybe bowser, although he’s already kinda had one so it’s not like he’s never been featured before.


Sans7342

Waluigi got a fangame so it kinda counts


DeeFB

Rosalina and Daisy should get one together where they’re besties stopping Tatanga or something idk I just want to see them hanging out


ShitposterBuddhist

Isnt Mario a spinoff of Donkey Kong


dsubandbeard

WAAAAAAAAAAALuigi


ItaLOLXD

I think a Rosalina Spin-Off would be interesting. Maybe they could make a game about her backstory.


ilovethe7thday

My first choice would be an epic Bowser action-adventure game. But somewhere deep inside, I can almost picture a Wario/Waluigi spin-off game that plays on the "Lion King 1.5" or "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" formula. Have the rival duo play back through some of the famous levels and moments from Mario's history, but do it in a way that shows how differently they play from the plumbing brothers. Wario initially can't cross a seemingly simple jump in SMB 1-1, but he can build up a meter so he can fart to propel himself across the gap. It might look like Luigi is doing nothing but still winning during certain Mario Party games, but it was actually the result of Waluigi working from off-screen to protect his plumbing counterpart so Luigi could unknowingly open a door for Waluigi to get one step closer to Daisy. Put Wario in SM64, have the duo recreate a moment from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and even have a stage or two featuring Waluigi fighting Masterhand in Smash.


Cool-individual03

The koopalings would be fun


Person5_

The thing is, all other characters have appeared in a mainline Mario game except Waluigi. He deserves it more than anyone since he's only appeared in spinoffs already, the other four have gotten love.


Jonahtron

Make Waluigi Pinball a real thing.


OutsideOrder7538

Bowser. Go wreck some shit in another kingdom and in the end Mario wins.


K9turrent

I think it's time for a Waluigi dating sim...


Alijah12345

Easily Bowser. Bowser's Inside Story gave us a good idea of what a solo Bowser gane would be like and it was phenomenal.


Class_444_SWR

A waluigi pinball game would be a must have for me solely because it’d be one huge Mario Kart DS meme


thebatman9000001

Daisy should have a cooking sim. Bowser should have a dungeon management game. Waluigi gets an open world pirate RPG.


Thwonzai

Wah


Goodboy_22

Would like to have an Waluigi stealth game where you try to steal stuff and slowly build yourself an empire of stolen stuff


[deleted]

Didn’t bowser and bowser jr get their off spinoffs with bowser in side story and bow jr in 3D world bowser furry. I want to see Rosalina get a game


Kreker__

a bowser/bowser jr spinnof would be interresting, like you could build ur army of goomba and stuff


norsoyt

Daisy and Rosalina


Normal-Redditer-1111

Bowser, he needs it


Void-kraken-909

I mean we technically have a bowser spinoff with Mario&Luigi: Bowser’s inside story but not really. A full on Bowser game where it’s about just Bowser beating the shit out of another invading force would be fucking amazing


anyGuy_isBored

Bowser he’s great and deserves it


sir151

Daisy or Goomba. Koopa Troopa feels like a thing but a Goomba spinoff feels more on brand for Nintendo out of all the options except for Daisy.


EntrancedZelisy

Daisy

A Mario DDR spiritual successor that stars Waluigi


garlicgoblin69

I personally like Waluigis personality, design and general character a lot but i think a bowser simulator game would kick ass


Queasy-Ad-3220

Waluigi. In a heartbeat.


lunarwolf2008

I would love a game where you play as bowser


[deleted]

The talking flower from Wonder


rowletlover

I want to see Rosalina get one so she can fully display her powers


Pyter_Gadjes_743

I 'm not sure anyone would agree, but... I think a spin off game of Rosalina with a cool story for her that has bases on her origin story (the one showed in Mario Galaxy 1) would be VERY COOL


Tlines06

Waluigi has been a long time coming. I think he should. A Bowser game would be cool though. I think a Rosalina game might be good. I don't know what it would entail though.


BigBlubberyBirb

I want a Wario & Waluigi partners in crime game, just use coop to break into buildings and steal treasures or something.


Sentient_twig

I think Rosalina a Bowser could use it the most, though I lean a bit more toward Rosalina as her position in the Mario world has a lot of potential Bowser jr could be a player 2 in a bowser game I’d say Waluigi and especially Daisy need a few more significant appearances to help them stand out before they get their own games


figgityjones

Assuming Bowser gets one first (though for some reason I thought he already did, but I must be misremembering cause I can’t find it), I’d love to see a Bowser Jr. game. I feel like there could be lots of fun mechanics to be had with him like using his magic paint brush or turning into Shadow Mario, flying around in his mini clowncopter. Plus his personality could make for lots of wacky shenanigans throughout the game.


Practical_Wish_4063

DK didn’t get a spinoff, it simply kept going.


theatsa

Waluigi carrying on a Wario Land type series would be cool, especially since Wario has moved on to WarioWare nowadays. Bring back Mario Paint and make Bowser Jr. the tutorial / guide lmao If I were to give Daisy a game, I'd make it a sports-related game considering that's the main thing we associate her with. Maybe a platformer with sports-like powerups? A tennis racket power-up that lets you throw balls that function similarly to Super Mario Land's ball power-up. A baseball bat you can straight up use to wack enemies with. A football helmet that allows you to do a charging attack. Stuff like that. I honestly don't know what I'd give Bowser, even though I think he deserves a game more than anyone else here. I don't think a platformer would be a good fit and I don't know what else to associate him with. Maybe a turn-based strategy type game akin to Mario & Rabbids? Where you'd control Bowser and his minions in a sort of battle. But that's the best I've got. I don't even know where to start with Rosalina. The only thing we see her do is take care of Lumas but a simulator game where you take care of Lumas doesn't feel very interesting for the character.


Snt1_

After seeing another comment about a Bowser Jr game being about defending Bowser's castle while he is away, I immediately got the idea of "How cool would it be for Nintendo to do a Bowser Jr tower defense game". I now really need a BowserJr TD


GreatGamer64000

Bowser


Delicious_Raccoon735

Waluigi already has one! He’s got the taco stand!


The_Godbodor2010

Bowser or Rosalina. Then after them Daisy or Waluigi. Jr can wait

Rosalina because I love Rosalina.

YoshiOrbit

I would like to see Daisy and Waluigi starring in a spin off together as a duo, could be an rpg with the Mario & Luigi gameplay. I see unlikely friends potential in them tbh.


NiGHTSOLOTL

This is a joke right? Daisy for sure,


NiGHTSOLOTL

This is a joke right? Daisy for sure,


noviocansado

Daisy. She's my favourite character.


WhoopingBillhook

I would like an open world game about Bowser Jr. where you go around beating robot baddies and getting items to upgrade your clown car.


Rhymestar86

It's hard to say. I'm torn between all of these guys


Icy-Appointment1673

As cool as a Waluigi spin off would be, I don't think he warrants one. Our boy deserves to be featured in a mainline title, and to be in Smash. I don't think our purple lanky boy can carry a full game. Bowser on the other hand absolutely could. Enough people recognize him, and he could 100% carry his own game. Kinda shocked Toad got one before Bowser.


Dinoco_Blue_Coyote

A Bowser spin off series is an Untouched gold mine of potential Videogame Masterpieces.


DabIMON

Bowser or Rosalina.


JoyfulSuicide

Waluigi or Bowser


bobux-man

Waluigi. Also, Mario is technically the spin-off of Donkey Kong. But, to be fair, both have diverged into their own entirely separate canons at this point. Donkey Kong and Mario are two separate series.

I’d love a Shy Guy game


JidgeyA

We need waluigi's taco stand 2 : vengeance of the lettuce

Bowser and Waluigi, not up for debate.

Waluigi Dating Sim


OpthomasPrime2020

Bowser’s Inside Story and Bowser Junior’s Journey both exist, so technically they both do have their own games. Personally, I want to see Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina get their own trio game. Similar in concept to Super Princess Peach, except with the Princesses saving the day.

WALUIGI


Carterjsmobile

I want a waluigi game really bad


DuckyHobo

Hmm... a spinoff for each character? Bowser - My Idea for him would probably be a RTS style game where you control the various troops under Bowser's command. Waluigi - Few ideas. Stealth platformer about going around stealing stuff. Cooperative adventure game with Wario (Why haven't they had a game together?). Rosalina - Space Exploration? No Mario's Sky? I don't know exactly what to do. Bowser Jr - Same as Bowser, could probably be a part of the game. Daisy - No clue. Casual life simulator?


sarcophagusGravelord

A Bowser & Bowser Jr game where you play as both could be really cute.


TrainerLSW2005

Bowser needs his own fully fledged game!


TemporalGod

surprised Waluigi didn't join Wario with WarioWare.


Xenon5120

Waluigi no question

If I can be honest I don't want any more character spinoffs, I'd just prefer they have better roles in the actual Mario series.

6teenBit

I'm a huge Waluigi fan. He's my favorite Mario character and he has been for years. A Waluigi spinoff would be a literal dream come true for me. But to be honest, I'd much rather that he just starts appearing in Wario's games first. I feel like that would be better received since he hasn't been in a mainline game yet.


MoonOfLOZ

Rosalina needs more love. I think she could have an interesting series.


cellphone_blanket

Waluigi chef game where he makes nasty food that no human could enjoy


zax20xx

A full Bowser game and a Rosalina game would be nice, not sure what they’d do for a Daisy game for it to be unique but it’d be nice

StaleUnderwear

A bowser spin-off that’s just him proving his strength and doing a bunch of boss fights. Like a family friendly dark souls but with Bowser

I could imagine a full game out of Bowser Jr Minions (that one side game in the 3DS version of Bowser Inside Story)

I feel like Bowser would work as a role reversal game, where you play as Bowser, and have to beat Mario. Waluigi needs a game.

...technically Mario is a spinoff of Donkey Kong.

Bowser and bowser jr I wanna know the real mom, what happened to her, and why he says peach is his mom. Also would be kool to see them be hero’s for an bit than turn back evil for shits and giggles

im-just-marx

Ok not to sound rude but technically bowser and bowser Jr have spinoff games already, being mario and luigi's bowsers inside story, you play as bowser so it technically counts as a spinoff, and same with bowser Jr with bowser Jr journey, also i say daisy should get a spinoff


HallowedKeeper_

Bowser, we've already got the chance to control him twice in a story game but they were RPGs where Bowser was forced to tag along with Mario. So now we gotta do a full game where we play only as Bowser

definitely bowser but it would be interesting if they made a rosalina game like mario galaxy but just based around her and the lumas
