    Not sure... my gut instinct syas if it's dark, it's not really Mario. But they could try some kind of 'Mario's New Nightmare'-type thing... make it be about a plumber called Mario who cracks up and thinks he's in a video-game.
    I seriously doubt Nintendo would risk damaging Mario's 'brand identity'. He's got to be up there with Mickey Mouse in the 'recognisability' stakes by now... they're not gonna mess with that. Cool picture, though.

    If thats the same one that appeared on Google, the only similarity to mario was a plumber.

    True, but its still a pity that they won't do anything with it.

    Was i the only one freaked out by Mario 2 on the NES? That was kinda dark!

    yeah that game was a bit freaky alright, that mask muttha fukka that chased you when you had a key? WTF was that about?

    Anyway it's a remake of an obscure Jap game called Doki Doki Panic, as the original Jap sequel to Super Mario Brothers (it was the lost levels on the Allstars collection) was too hard, or summatt.. anyway good article on it here.

    There's also a wierd flick-screen version of Mario called Super Mario Bros Special made by Hudson. Must give it a go one of these days.

    A darker mario game might work but I don't think it would ever happen and judgeing from the picture he would need to lose a load of weight or he might get stuck in a tube.

    I reckon the Mario games need a bit of a shakeup. I loved Super Mario World on the SNES, loved Mario 64 on the N64 (and on the DS lol) and I was not too bothered about Super Mario Sunshine on the GC. Maybe they could continue to make the cutesy Mario games but also work on a darker/adult oriented Mario games as well?
