Mario and his games are considered one of the best games of all time, and if you look at them all togther theres a lot of them! So do you think the franchise will ever die out or do you think it will keep going forever. If you think it will die what do you think the last game will be?

As long as it´ll make money it won´t. That´s capitalism for you.

If Sonic is still going, then obviously Mario still legs left in him.

Yes. You've got to think that after the human race gets wiped out for one reason or another, or the Universe decides to not exist, the Mario franchise will end. Done. Problem solved.

I'm gonna say that Mario will die when Apple finally releases a dominant home console.

I don't think it will, but maybe it should. Once Miyamoto is gone, maybe it'd be best to leave the series alone so they don't screw up his masterpiece franchise. I'm not saying to bury the character completely, but perhaps end the main Super Mario games.

Really hope not. Seriously doubt it.

I'm hoping they wrap up each spin off with dignity, then make one more Mario platformer that takes him across his past, ending with him killing Bowser
