This post is outdated. See discussion for actual info.
For starters I designed a little map with few necessary elements. I tried my best at this.
I have a nice story(meaningful but entertaining), location and character ideas(hell, I want goomba vikings that sail the sky so bad!), and required skills to make a game engine and locations like one attached to the post. But I'm bad with drawing sprites, so I'm figuring what to do yet.
Game lore implies that once upon a time three wishes were made by three great people of the Mushroom Kingdom, and that's why it stood for thousands of years ruled by a single princess(and somehow she does not die!)
The game itself begins when Mario arrives at Peach's castle. Bowser tried to kidnap our dearest princess, but she gone mad and not only kicked his butt, but also caused havoc all over the castle with some kind of ability that swaps chunks of space and their contents with their past and future versions. Also, gravity drops insanely fast, so after the tutorial battle Mario alongside wih ton of toads and Bowsers minions gets launched into the sky.
I'm thinking to implement non-tactical turn-based battle system for massive battles where you can have up to 24 allies at once, but each one acts accordingly to their AI. You can control few characters yourself - and you can take over another set of characters each turn without any penalties.
i'll be really glad to have a Paper Maro sprite artist and literate English-speaking person in my team. If you want to participate, please, PM me.

Still looking for artists to help me out. Different kinds of artists - I'm a mere programmer and I can do some 3d and maybe few crappy sprites, but this game needs some more manpower to be born(also because I'm not a native English speaker and I need someone to help me write dialogues). Please, help me out, dudes!(or dudettes or whatever you are)
Btw figured out some areas. Wanna make Cliffside Odal, Fall Falls, Mt. Celeste, Magikoopacademy and much more.

Welp, this seems to be no longer a concept, but rather a WIP. Dearie, dearie me.
