I see your point but, until we get our hands on the game we cannot say what the player will be doing most of the time. I am pretty sure you will not be flying for most of the game.
The point I am trying to make is that it is like Marble Blast Ultra. You are just a simple ball, but you are getting around to different platforms by usage of a jump mechanism that is not legs. Mario would still be Mario if you do not have a visual que for him jumping. Legs are just another means of transportation.
