Idea: Super Mario U

In terms of online features, there should be a wifi option on the main menu. This could launch a hub level where you see others walking around. Here, you can speak to people and play in mini games etc. For the main gameplay, there should also be a true Co-op feature where 2 players can play on a split-screen or via wifi, being Mario and Luigi. One player could do one task whilst the other does something else. Maybe rescue two characters at once.
As it is the Wii U, stunning HD visuals should be present in the game. Even night scenes with thunder/lightening outside the castle would have a great touch.
Attached is fan box art for the game.
Please tell me what you think of this idea ?

For WiFi features, couldn't the main campaign feature simultaneous co-op game-play, one being Mario as the other is Luigi? Instead of doing one course at a time, two people could do different things and see each other walk past on occasion. Then you could have a star or character rescue chart, to track the others progress.

Also multi-player would work well with the wii U's tablet controller and it could work as Mario 64 was gonna be two player but due to memory and time limitations they had to drop it.

If it's like Super Mario 64 but with better graphics and a new story, etc then this will sell millions of copies. I hope to see SMS again too but with a new story, weather, controls, etc. I love the box art, Well done!

Maybe an online battle mode like in Super mario 64 DS. Who can get more coins, or simple races to the end. Co-op would be online as well.

I think the next big Mario game should be structured like Super Mario 3D Land, only with huge levels and tons of exploration. Recreate the feeling of Super Mario 64, without the 'collect all the stars' mechanic. Deepen the story a bit more. Add some characters, like Wario and Waluigi. Make Metal Mario a villain with Bowser. Tons of unique bosses, not just the same ones repeated until the final boss. Co-op. New power-ups a gimmicks are a must. Those awesome level tropes from SM3DL? Need more of those. Just because the power stars are gone, doesn't mean there aren't tons of collectibles in the levels.

I think that the home console games should still have stars but keep the flagpoles for future hand held games

Thanks for the comments
As per original post, the concept of this fan game is to rescue and collect missing characters who have been scattered/dropped around various levels by Bowser. These characters could mainly include various coloured Toad's and Yoshi's, but could also feature special characters as well (if you could think of any, please share). This idea came from Banjo Kazooie (N64) where you could rescue Jingo's.
Maybe the castle hub level could have a gallery room where you can see all the people you have saved? As with Mario Kart Wii competitions via Nintendo WFC, Nintendo could also drop special characters in the game to be rescued on occasion.

why not have it similar to mario 64 ds where, when you save the main characters, you could play as them and they could do things you couldnt. you could also bring stories and characters from the other mario series like wario land and the star children from yoshi's island and so on
Good idea Chipvader!
After all this, I've just realised it is is fan game LOL. It would be so cool, and all these ideas are top! Just why can't Nintendo think of the same ideas. If we can think of them, why cannot they create the same 'strong' ideas?

...and Waluigi. Don't forget Waluigi. The guy needs to appear in a mainstream game.
The only things characters did differently in SM64DS was the special blocks that gave you abilities, and every now and then you would NEED a character, like Mario for the race missions with that Koopa guy whose name escapes me, and for the Bowser battles. They would really need to expand on the different moves and attributes. Maybe Wario could use his shoulder bash move to break certain walls and blocks, and we all know Luigi can jump higher then Mario, giving him access to new areas. Waluigi could run up walls or swim through the air for a brief second. Mario has the basic moves.
As for power ups, they could bring back the switch blocks that you had to find to activate the colored blocks. They all get power ups like the fire flower, mega mushroom, and tanooki leaf, but everyone has their own power ups. Mario gets the wing cap and p-balloon. Luigi could have the invisibility cap and boomerang plant. Wario would have the metal cap and the power garlic, which allows him to do a long shoulder bash charge breaking even bigger blocks and destroying larger enemies. Waluigi mini mushroom and tornado flower, which gives him the ability to spin upwards like the propeller suit did, just it looks cooler.
Man, I need to stop writing so much...

All we can do is hope really. I love Nintendo and the things they have created over the past, but sometimes I do not like it when they have an idea set in their heads, and are dead against online play and hd graphics / physics.
um im pretty sure the wiiu is hd and maybe it will have great physics considering how much power it has
