Three is definitely a big turning point for a series. Either it goes out with a blaze of glory, everyone hates it and it is shunned forever, or it paves the way to the future. We humans appreciate the number very much. It can provide the tipping argument, and concretes this or that. Three also ruins our sense of deal making, (esp 11:09-14:10). After all that, it is the make or break entry. Go big, or start a new series. Which was the feel that series like SMB3 and others did. Find what sold, and continue with that. Finish the story, or take the type of character and scare them with something else. If you can do that, your golden.
