The time may be right for Mario to embark on his next 3D adventure, and there's plenty of reason to expect one soon enough. After all, with Mario being Nintendo's mascot and most famous figure, the possibility of him having another game in the pipeline can never truly be discounted. The Super Mario series is a reliable source for some of Nintendo's most polished titles, both in 2D and 3D. While Mario's last 3D adventure had an impressive scope, the series can still go further, especially if the next game embraces the full potential of the franchise.
