Okay, this game is going to take place in the once peaceful land of Mushroom Kingdom.  Princess Peach has been taken by the ruthless Bowser once again and this time he has also taken control of Mushroom Kingdom as well. 

The main story line will go something like this.  Bowser has been putting several million coins into funding for the developement of a nuclear weapon.  While in the process of testing, a lone Goomba accidently sets off a prototype and causes Bowser's Keep to explode.  Bowser and his men all get out safely, but Bowsers Keep has been reduced to rubble.  Bowser, upset over the lost of his keep, decides to find another home so he can continue the developement of his nuclear bomb, Mushroom Kingdom.  Bowser and his troops successfully take over Mushroom Kingdom and Bowser names himself King Bowser and makes Princess Peach his fiance.  Mario and Luigi learn about Bowser's misdeeds and set off to Mushroom Kingdom to stop Bowser.  But getting to Bowser is going to be harder than normal.  Security in the castle is far too tight, even for the incredible duo, to penetrate.  So they are going to have to go around, knocking people off (and out), stealing rides, doing favors, and even some old fashioned plumbing to get into the walls of the castle.  Mario must stop the evil Bowser from fulfilling his desires on creating a nuclear weapon, liberate Mushroom Kingdom and rescue Princess Peach all before the wedding takes place.

The game will be set up like Grand Theft Auto 3.  You will be able to steal go-karts (the ones from Mario Kart) and of course several types of Yoshi.  There will be other unique vehicles as well such as the big shoe thing from Super Mario Bro. 3, the Nimbus Bus from Mario RPG, the airplane from the first Mario game for Gameboy and the submarine from that game as well.  Also will be the unique arsenal of weapons you can get throughout the game such as:  Lazy Shell Grenade Launcher,  Hammers, Geno's Star Cannon thingy, various Chomps, Molotov Fireflowers, Frying Pans,  Bullet Bill Rocket Launcher, Bo-Bombs(what kind of game would it be without Bo-Bombs) and many more.

The game will also feature a cast of characters that spans throughout the many games that Mario has been apart of such as:  Wario, Waluigi, Birdo, Magikoopa, Goomba, Hammer Bros., Princess Daisy, Toad, Bowser, Bowser Jr., King Boo, Raphael Raven (he's awesome), the numerous Koopa kids, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Smithy, the really big sword from Mario RPG, Belome( thinks that's the name to the boss in the Kero Sewers of Mario RPG), Johnny (the shark dude on the sunken boat in Mario RPG), the Stork, Croco, the Axem Rangers and a plethera of others.

Hopefully this game would appease those who long for a GTA on Nintendo's system.  If I were to guess, it would have to be until the next-generation consoles come out before a game like this could be made.  However, it would be fun, and also help discredit the rumor that Nintendo is just a corporation going for the kiddy look.  This game would add a twisted chapter to the famed Mario collection of titles that already exist and I would sure enjoy playing a game like this.  Maybe a game like this could even spawn into other hits from Nintendo.  Yes, I can see it now; Grand Theft Auto: Hyrule and Grand Theft Auto: Dreamland anybody.
