Still, I hope this is an excuse to ramp up the terrible lack of difficulty in most Nintendo games.

How exactly do you change the difficulty of a platformer like Mario without completely changing the levels?  You can't just give the enemies more or less health and call it a day like some other genres.  Even the amount of enemies usually isn't the problem for Mario games.
