I'm entirely in favor of Nintendo continuing to use Mario the way he was originally intended, as a hero of platform games. Mario Kart/Party/Strikers/whatever I can do without. But Super Mario Bros/World/64/Sunshine/Galaxy? Those are great games, and New Super Mario Bros. is one of my favorite DS games.
Nintendo has franchises. They milk those franchises for sequel after sequel. But I've yet to hear anyone say why that's any worse than Final Fantasy (and lord knows the Sephiroth-worshipping weeaboos sure love to spend money on remakes and extended-universe crap.)

Now, since I'm long gone from the console wars, I'll propose another "third" alternative that will not come to be: whatever consoles follow up the Wii and DS... no Mario games, period. No games based on he characters from the franchise, and while I'm at it, no easter eggs hidden in other games that even hint at Mario's continued existence. By the time those consoles need replacement, even if they bring out "Mario: more of the same crap you always expect", everyone (this means you) will be so overjoyed at his return that the fact that it's "more of the same" won't matter one bit. Assuming that's the winning strategy it seems to be, they could branch it out to include Zelda and Metroid, and switch off every new generation as to who sits out. Concentrate all that time off onto the return, and make it the launch title.
As if Nintendo needs me to tell them how to make more money.
people keep buying the games right? so why shouldnt nintendo keep making the games? Just because they are there doesnt mean you have to play the right?
Other: I think it is time for him to hide out for a while and not be seen - and then come back in a way that is simply amazing like the transition from SNES -> Mario 64.
Playing Bowser would be awesome - and not in an RPG environment. Imagine a Bowser 64 type game where you're just making all kinds of havoc.
Mario is just too recognizable for him to fade away completely. He IS Nintendo.

If they stop making Mario Party and the Mario sports titles, I say, keep Mario. Mario Kart can stay. The rest can go to hell for all i care. Milking a franchise is a stupid thing.
I'd like to have a sought of revision of the franchise... It turns out that Mario Mario is actually a heartless bastard who kills innocent turtles who are an ENDANGERED SPECIE and black midget leapers (Goombas), and for what reason? TO "SCORE" he finds it sexually ammusing. How he constantly rescues the princess? He is secretly working down the Mushroom Kingdom by having them dependent on him and he will then sieze the power...
As for back story Mario had a horrible child hood. As a baby he often got attacked by paratroopers and his only guardian was a dinosaur... He spent most of his early stages crying... In his middle ages he was exposed to a rare breed of flower that game him the ability to shoot fire balls out of his hands. He then got hooked on Mushrooms, mainly the red ones bu he preferred the green ones (THE POISONOUS ONES)
