Assassins Creed
Stealth and Mario go about as well together as a balloon and an oven... it doesn't make much sense to pair them. A typical Mario platformer is free and limitless (see: balloon analogy); the polar opposite of the stealth genre. That being said, rules were made to be broken, and a Mario title that encourages several different forms of gameplay serves as an interesting idea.
The Assassins Creed franchise provides a good template for the Mario Party of characters, offering some diverse ways to play, and also including a plot that could easily be re-structured to fit the Mario cast -- the different generations in particular -- much the same as Bioshock could.
Maybe the Boswer-led mushroom kingdom finally wises up to Mario's antics. Bowser may decide to take a more strategic approach, declaring Mario a menace to mushroom society, and beefing up his security with more competent employees. Mario himself would mirror the strategy, squishing, using power-ups to manoeuvre, and dispatching foes through the shadows... Technically Mario has already been air assassinating Goombas for years.
Imagine This, But Substitute in Mario, Goombas, And Stomping
Imagine This ... But Substitute in Mario, Goombas, And Stomping
Comedy would be an unintentional consequence is this merger; there is something inherently funny about a Goomba guard discovering a pancaked body lying suspiciously on the ground.
