A Super Mario Online game that takes advantage of user-generated content, similar to LittleBigPlanet, may be in Mario’s own future, so says creator Shigeru Miyamoto.
Speaking with Joystiq, Shiggy had this to say,
“This is an area that I have a lot of interest in, and I think that the side-scrolling Mario games in particular are well suited to that idea. Of course the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series is one that’s made in North America by NST, but it’s one that I’ve been involved in and from early on. We did have a lot of discussions about how to enable that kind of level creation in that series. And I think those types of interactive experiences are going to continue to broaden and we’ll see a lot more user-generated content going forward. I’ve always had an interest in those kinds of creative tools, so I will definitely be open to ideas like that in the future.”
And while this is just speculation, maybe some of these ideas will be encorporated into the next new Mario game, which is apparently in development according to Mario voice-actor Charles Martinet, who stated that he has already done voice work for an ALL-NEW Mario game that isn’t Super Mario Galaxy 2 or New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Very interesting. Very interesting indeed.

I have always been a big fan of Mario before I got so addicted with Aion. I hope they release it soon./
