I thought 2.5D was "isometric" stuff, like Flickie's Island and Equinox. So now it's all about 3D tricks in 2D games such as late 90's Capcom / SNK fighters?

Oh how times have changed.

That is what 2.5D is, 2D sprites and 2D background used in a way to give the impression of a 3D world (generally done with an isometric view).

I would call NSMBW a sidescroller using 3D models.
