I'm not sure if I wouldn't call Paper Mario a better successor to Super Mario RPG than the Mario & Luigi series, but it's just nitpicking at that point. It's true that Geno's most recent appearance was in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, even if I don't recall seeing Mallow or the Nimbus people anywhere since the SNES.
I never looked into AlphaDream before, so that was interesting information to know. You're saying that they had exclusive rights to the characters from Super Mario RPG? Square Enix doesn't have them? If so, then it sounds like they should be basically up for grabs. That'd be one major headache less.
Still, I don't know what they could do in a sequel. Smithy's dead. We've already explored Super Mario RPG's Mushroom Kingdom, as well as multiple other versions of the land in other games. Did we ever get an answer as to where Exor and the Smithy gang came from? That sword literally had an alternate dimension inside its mouth.
