@ OP - Whilst it is good to consider all possibilities, this one is a bit of a stretch
1) People have played it, and liked it. Several of those people post on VGChartz
2) Shigeru Miyamoto is the designer, Ninty EAD are the developers.
@ davidd_err18 - welcome to VGChartz, it's always good to have fans of old school mario. But why must 2d mario be developed INSTEAD of other mario games? They are for the most part made by different people. EAD 4 makes 2d platformers, EAD5 makes 3d platformers, EAD1 to make mario Kart, Hudson make mario Party, Camelot for the mario sports games
