Make it slightly darker (like Mario RPG-ish) and give Mario a Lou-Albano-like voice ala the cartoon series.

Maybe a 2D Mario with a cartoon artstyle? That's about it. Mario reboot doesn't really make sense to me. There's nothing to reboot.

I guess I should explain what I mean by "soft reboot."

What I mean is that, picking up where Odyssey left off, you would be dictating where the story goes forward. Are Mario and Peach an item? Are they through? Is Bowser gonna remain the primary antagonist? If so, what kind of antagonist?

It's not that you'd be going back to Super Mario Bros. and telling the story of how the Mario Bros, Peach, Bowser, and Toad met. You'd just be saying how things would be going forward.

And the next game would presumably be geared toward new audiences rather than returning ones.

Mario has a story and continuity? lol

I'd probably make sure Luigi, Toad and Peach are playable in all Mario games thinking about it. With Bowser as the bad guy. I'd say that's about it. I don't think the games need any focus on a story. Just Mario and friends going on a new adventure.

Oh and Mario's voice will remain unchanged forever lol.

I'm not really sure what I'd do in regards to the main characters, since I think they're all in a good place. Mario and Peach should definitely be just friends or have an ambiguous romantic status, like they always have. Ideally Peach should be playable more often as well. Less games where she's the damsel in distress, though I don't think she should be totally free from that role either. Just maybe not as often.

I think Bowser's fine and should absolutely remain as the primary antagonist. He's had so many appearances that I think they've struck a good balance between him being a humorous oaf and an actually potent villain.

I suppose this was a pretty safe and lame answer though.

Mario and Luigi are members of rival mafia gangs in the Mushroom Kingdom that join forces when the Koopa family comes onto their turf and kidnaps the matriarch of the Toadstool family, Peach. The Marios have to track her down while fending off the Koopas and the Toadstools, who blame them for her disappearance.

But I'd make it an existential horror and make him aware of the previous deaths during each level attempt.

How about some crossover territory? Maybe do a Mario + Mickey platformer game that is basically set in a Disney World with a whole bunch of cameos and characters interacting with each other.

Or Mario and Donkey Kong finally team up and the platforming involves them doing a whole bunch of coop moves.

Or maybe a proper Mario and Sonic game.

You know I've never thought about this, but it's actually a really good idea. Better than a Mario and Sonic game would be probably.

Super Princess all-of-them.

I'd totally play a game with Super Princess Peach style gameplay starring Peach and a genderswapped Mario/Luigi. Make the story something ridiculous like Bowser having Kamek cast a spell that turns all the males in the Mushroom Kingdom female (thinking it'll make them weaker and unable to defeat him, so he can wreak as much havoc as he wants) so Peach shows the Mario sisters how to "fight like a girl" so they can go kick Bowser's ass and make him reverse the spell. Throw in co-op mode, online minigames, and a bunch of different outfits/accessories to put on the girls... I think it would sell.

2D. Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, and Bowser playable. Maybe Wart is the bad guy. Kamek is working for him and has ensorcelled the Koopa Kids and Bowser Jr. Bonus stages where Wario is going through cleared stages to get coins.

Remake the first game but change the enemies to things plumbers deal with in real life:
Tampons
Big huge turds
Horny Housewives
Underwear people shove down the toilet and flush to hide the fact they pooped themselves
etc

I like this idea, but Mario and Luigi have to keep their staches even as girls.

The next game is a typical 2D Mario platformer, except that Mario has the ability to fart. It doesn't do anything, it just plays a farting animation and makes a fart sound.

An RPG featuring the Princesses going to save the men from Queen Boo. It could have a dress system like FFX-2 did where each dress changes their class. Throw in some support characters like Toadette, Gombella, that cloud with the huge tits, ect. The twist would be that halfway through the game you find out Queen Boo was really mind controlled by some sort of Alien or some shit (Like in SSBB). She joins up and has some sweet abilities and can class change with different crowns.

What a completely unnecessary scenario.

This franchise is known for having very little story elements, not to mention each iteration is basically self-contained.

Retcon Waluigi into nonexistence and emphasize Wario more in his role as a villain, making Bowser something closer to a rival rather than an enemy. Wario would capture Mario and ransom him to peach/mushroom kingdom. You play alternating levels between peach and Luigi, where one of them plays like a traditional Mario and the. other is more like a puzzle platformer ala the wario land games prior to 4

Mario and Bowser bury the hatchet, Bowser admits defeat, Mario & Peach become an official item. Luigi gets together with Daisy. Everyone essentially retires. The new game, Super Mario Legacy is about the cousins (child of Peach+Mario and Luigi+Daisy), squaring off against Bowser Jr. Who is all grown up now. The Koopalings are tired of his shit (they're all older now as well) and give you a macguffin for wrecking Bowser Jr's shit up in their respective world's that you'll need to defeat Bowser Jr.
