shpladoink Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Let's reconceptualize Dr. Mario into a realistic, medical simulation game, where Dr. Mario is a real, fat Italion doctor from New York City, who falls into an open incision and comes out in the... uh... inside a dude. He's immediatly set upon by viruses, that he throws pills at in an unsettlingly realistic treatment of violence and death. He wanders through this alien world, wondering if he's gone out of his mind or died and gone to hell, and is attacked on all sides by monsterous viruses. The viruses would be something akin to the alien from the movie Alien, who are attempting to kill Dr. Mario's patient because his asexual race can only procreate by implanting their parasitic eggs into unsuspecting host bodies, who slowly waste away under the ministrations of the prenatal viruses. There'd be a disturbing silhouette cut-away rape scene. It would be even better if they could work in an eerie, string-quartet version of the "game over" theme during the cut-away. Nurse Luigi would die at some point, and Dr. Mario would go find a Toadstool drug dealer who'd get him hooked on "Pills," a super powerful amphetamine, which Mario uses to plow through the virus' subjects in a violent haze, impervious to pain. At one point, Mario would use his cigarette lighter to ignite an ultra-flamable "fire flower," a native species of the Mushroom Kingdom, and throw it at the virus' castle. I'd call it "I, Dr. Mario" and the box art would be the title in gothic lettering, with a photo-realistic image of Dr. Mario, filthy, sweating, bleeding, wounded, stubbly and half-insane, staring horrified into an open wound, with bottles of pills and mushroom stems strewn about the floor of his run-down, Brooklyn apartment.

Thylacine Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I do think the idea of a plumber-turn-doctor operating on me is a little creepy. Although, if I wanted everything to be hooked up right and have a lifetime "bursting" warranty, I find the idea rather appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatfruit Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Have you just stolen this Idea from the Dark Mario game that was being made by some developers or it may have been on this very site. The idea that Mario goes to the "MUSHROOM KINGDON" after getting whacked out on drugs and that mario IS just a fat plumber from new york but in his drug induced madness he thinks hes a super hero.

Beatdown Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 lol serious Mario I see him as more of a scruffy street doctor who has a pill for whatever ails you, and his scrawny, strung out assistant Luigi as the guy who fills prescriptions by any means necessary.

JH Sounds Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That's almost exactly like some Mario fiction I wrote, except it's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predmid Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 After that, we can take a realistic approach to Smash Brothers. Make it a Battle Royale clone except that each participant can choose their own handheld weapon(s). Mr. Game and Watch would have to win.

Darklink42 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That's almost exactly like some Mario fiction I wrote, except it's different. Okay then. In all seriousness though, that is one weird concept. I'd go with it, but only if at some point he stands silhouetted in a doorway and says "It's a-me" in a serious manner.
