I'm sure that most of us know about the Mario franchise by Nintendo, starring that Italian plumber who goes on adventures with his brother Luigi and their sidekick Yoshi and saves his love interest Princess Peach from the evil Bowser, right? Well, the question here is what if Mario was a Sega...

Inspired by this.: https://www.deviantart.com/abbysek/art/What-if-Super-Mario-Bros-2-USA-was-split-into-two-890966022 You know the story of how Super Mario Bros. 2 was different depending on where’s you are at, whether it be the Lost Levels (the Japanese SMB2) or an edited version of Doki-Doki...

NOTE: This was posted in another forum thing, but I’m posting it here because why not? We all know that after the events of Super Mario Bros. on the NES, Bowser has died in the lava pits and is never to be seen again. Because of that, Nintendo had to use either Tatanga, Wart, or some other...

NOTE: I originally made a thread on this, but now that it's been a year I thought I'd revisit it. Here is an alternate history challenge about what a completely different Super Mario franchise would look like. Please note that every Super Mario game from 1981 to 1985 will stay the same ITTL...

1986: Nintendo announces that what was going to be Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels IOTL to be cancelled, therefore announcing that what what was going to be Super Mario Bros. 3 IOTL will become Super Mario Bros. 2 ITTL. On a side-note, Super Mario Bros. 2 ITTL is kinda like OTL’s Super Mario...

Okay, so back around the start of this year, I came up with a idea for a TL where the NES failed, causing Nintendo to stick to just cards and Sega to take Nintendo's place. I soon scrapped it for other TL ideas, but here's the question. What if Sega took Nintendo's place as a big video game...

Of course, since 1988, when Super Mario Bros. 3 came out, things started to become very unusual. It was the start of having Donkey Kong as the main villain of the Super Mario series. As for Bowser (the main villain of SMB1)? He fell to obscurity until Rare came along and brought him back as the...

I know what you're all thinking: 'Mario games never get hated!' However, there is a subseries of the mainline Mario games that a good amount of people frequently look at in a more critical light. Yes, this is the New Super Mario Bros. quadrilogy we're talking about, here. The first game was...

Ok, hear me out, but can you imagine if Nintendo scrapped the idea of having Princess Peach be the dasmel and made her playable in any Super Mario game starting with Super Mario Bros. 3? If that is the case, then what changes to the Super Mario series will occur if Nintendo went with that...

So I thought of an alternate history challenge about a completely different Super Mario franchise. NOTE: Every Super Mario game from 1981 to 1985 will stay the same ITTL. Here are some Points of Divergence to choose from.: Neither The Lost Levels (the Japanese SMB2 IOTL) nor a reskinned Doki...

I have something to say. What if neither The Lost Levels (the Japanese SMB2 IOTL) nor a reskinned Doki Doki Panic (the American SMB2 IOTL) never happened? And if Nintendo had made a true Super Mario Bros. 2 for a worldwide release on the Famicom/NES and released it in 1987? If that is the case...

"Some of the world's greatest ideas come out of rivalry. For every Coke, there's a Pepsi. For every Edison, there's a Tesla. This holds true with video games, and I don't know where we'd be today if Sonic the Hedgehog hadn't spindashed out of the blue and into our hearts all those years ago in...

As many hardcore Mario fans may know, Yoshiaki Koizumi has been credited by some as the "Real Daddy" of the Mario franchise. So what if Miyamoto ultimately got replaced by Koizumi sooner than what'll likely happen IOTL? Wether it be death or merely moving on to other things. What could we see...

My idea for this is simple. Sometime in the infamous 1993 film's development, Andrew Lloyd Webber buys the rights to the script and uses it to create a Mario musical. Specifically, he buys the rights to this script from July 17, 1991. Any ideas anyone had for things like the plot or songs?

Personally, I had some ideas. Such as it starting with a theatrical film based on a revised script for the 1993 film, and then some. All with music and songs by Andrew Lloyd Webber. But any ideas you guys had for certain songs or episodes? Fire away.
