World of Nintendo's line has taken an unfortunate turn away from encompassing all of Nintendo to essentially just being a bunch of Mario characters, with a grand shift towards different variations of Mario himself. While I'm still sad we won't be getting any of Nintendo characters int he foreseeable future, I'm trying to make the best of the situation and am thinking about which Mario renditions I would like to see in the line. So here are the top 5 version of Mario I want to see in the World of Nintendo line.

5. Dr Mario
Starting at number five I'm going with Doctor Mario. We got him in the 2 inch line a long time ago, but so far this highly popular version of Mario still has not made an appearance in the 4 inch line in any capacity. I think it would make for a very unique and well sought after figure with a pill for a perfect accessory. If we can get a full remold in order to make Explorer Mario, we can get this version.

4. Super Mario Sunshine
I love Super Mario Sunshine and it remains one of my favorite Mario games of all time, and one of my favorite games period. I love the whole premise of the game, and Mario's subsequent relationship with FLUDD was a part of the game I found very endearing. So I would really like to get a version of Mario wearing the water backpack, though it might be unlikely since I heard Jakks Pacific considers the game "too old" to warrant interest.

3. Boxers Mario
This is the one Odyssey outfit that made it onto the list and it is mostly because I think it is funny. Mario in boxers isn't one of the most heroic outfits for the hero and him running around in trunks is a funny sight. With so many Odyssey outfits being made it seems like getting this outfit is more likely than not, and I could fudge it being from Super Mario Sunshine as Mario enjoying the beaches since it also looks like a bathing suit!

2. Little Mario
This is a version of Mario I hadn't really thought about getting into the line before. It is a version of him that appears in almost every game though and it is the slightly shorter, squat version of Mario before he obtains a mushroom in order to grow to full size. I think it could be a very fun figure for Jakks to do, and highlight one of Mario's lesser realized versions.

1. Baby Mario
This has got to be one of the more popular Mario variations that hasn't gotten into the line yet. Nearly every party game, and especially every Mario Kart game includes the baby version of Mario with his giant nose and tiny eyes. He also payed a main role in the old Yoshi Island games, so the presence of Baby Mario in the games is definitely there for Jakks to take advantage of, and it would open the door to other Baby versions of characters like Luigi as well!
