What game genres hasn't the Mario series tried?

Real life simulator such as Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon/Sims etc.
 
fps

I'd love a game with Smash Bros. level of fanservice but purely Mario. Though, Smash is the only fighting game that I enjoy the gameplay of so they would need to take cues from it there too, or make something that feels like a Mario game in both the characters and how it plays.

I'd like a full game that's a bigger version of the minigame collections in SM64DS and NSMBDS. Those were so fun but were still a side thing. If they focused a full game on it, things could get interesting. And of course we'd have Casino Luigi in HD.

I get that Smash is really popular for it's huge amount of characters but I think he was referring to a more traditional type of fighting game such as Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.

Which suddenly sounds amazing. I'd love to see things like idk Yoshi eating off someone's head like Reptile or Mario turning into a dragon to chomp someone in half like Liu Kang but that will probably never happen.
 
Of course there's a true Mario fighting game. It's called Kart Fighter.

I know what this is supposed to mean, but I can't help think of the other kind of fanservice.
 
Real time-strategy. Think Starcraft. Would be freaking amazing.

Then again, there's also a Mario FPS which I would want.
 
A hack-and=slash RPG heavily influence by Diablo.

First-person zombie action shooter. A Borderlands-style FPS, you know, with RPG elements.

A Mario Civilization-styled turn-based game.

A Mario rock band game, though we DO have DDR.

I will embrace any of those.
 
Bowser's Minions sorta???

Yoshi's Safari is more of a rail shooter than an FPS IMO.
 
Call of Bowser: The Mushroom War

The mushroom kingdom vs the koopa troop in a bloody, call of duty style war game
 
A rap game. Rap the plumber rap and watch as your audience gets hooked on the brothers!
 
Mario dating simulator.

Yeah, that's not really an FPS. Even if it was, it was an old osbcure one that no one really knows about.
 
It's also not all that great.

It's not terrible but as far as rail shooters go it's pretty lacking.
 
Yoshi's Safari was also the first game released in the Western market to refer to the princess by her Japanese name "Peach" as opposed to the usual "Princess Toadstool" name at the time. It failed to succeed because there was nothing in the game that called her Toadstool and proved to be unpopular and not that major of a game. Sonic did try to do the same with "Robotnik by having Sonic Drift 2 refer to Dr. Ivo Robotnik as Eggman for the first time in the west and it failed because it was on the Game Gear and the Game Gear only sold like 10 or so million units. It wasn't until Super Mario 64 and Sonic Adventure that made Peach and Eggman stick respectively. Mario 64 was a major mainstream Mario game and the N64's launch title. Sonic Adventure was a mainstream Sonic game and was the Dreamcast's launch title and it sold a lot during the Dreamcast's relatively short lifespan and was the Dreamcast's best selling title.
 
A combined hidden object and puzzle game. One where you have scenes full of objects and have to find certain ones, and the scenes are linked by puzzles using objects you previously found.
 
I just thought of visual novel. Not sure anyone'd want that, though.

Pretty sure the name changes aren't why those games didn't do all that well.
