What do you think Nintendo will do for Mario’s 40th Anniversary?

Maybe one of those wacky multiplayer games like the Tetris or F-Zero one. I'd love to get a Mario Bros (the arcade) one but with many people at the same time, shit would be crazy fun.
Yeah, something along these lines. A downloadable game for Nintendo Online subscribers, maybe relaunch SMB 35 as SMB 40 and don't turn off the servers after 6 months this time.
There's gotta be some plastic tat too, so maybe a new updated NES mini.
 
Leaker claims New Super Mario Bros Collection coming for 40th Anniversary

The collection will apparently contain New Super Mario Bros. (DS), New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. 2 (3DS).

Nintendo went pretty hard for Mario's 35th, releasing Mario 3D All-Stars, Mario 35, Bowser's Fury, a Mario Game & Watch, Mario Lego sets, and a bunch of different in-game tie-ins.

What do you think they'll do for the 40th this September? It's a far more important milestone than 35, so the hope is that they'll go all-out. But aside from rereleasing Mario 35 as Mario 40, I'm not sure what they would do. We likely won't see a new mainline Mario game, since that team just released DK. And I don't think we'll get Galaxy 2 (mostly because of the Yoshi controls). So what do you think they'll do?
I think they'll announce:
  • Next new mainline 3D Mario
  • Mario Kart DLC
  • Reburbished stuff:
    • Mario Galaxy 1 Remastered
    • Mario Odyssey Switch 2 Edition
    • Super Mario 3D World Switch 2 Edition
  • Non-gaming stuff:
    • Second Mario animated movie
    • Merchandising
    • Amiibo of Mario for the new game

Mario odyssey already got a hefty Switch 2 patch so doubt we'll see a remaster tbh

I don't think they'll make a game because of an anniversary. If any games comes out around that time, it was going to be made regardless.
 
Mario 3D Allstars will be "unvaulted" and it will now include Mario Galaxy 2 exclusively for Switch 2. It will be added to the game as DLC. It'll cost $30 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version that includes SMG2, or $70 for all the games if you don't already own it.
I was thinking a $20 upgrade and a Switch 2 version for $80 like we've already seen.
