Anyone who claims there should be more mature themes in a Mario game needs to get their head checked.  Next they'll be asking for Wind in the Willows to be sexed up.  It's just plain ridiculous.

she never really said she wanted mature themes just a change in the formula.

Mature theme or appearance (which is implied by the claim that it's 'too cartoony') amounts to the same thing.  Furthermore, if Mario hasn't changed formula over the years then I don't know what game has.  

There is nothing stopping Nintendo creating another platforming franchise with a significantly different formula to Mario, but they don't want to mess with Mario too much. There is no point in them changing the formula beyond recognition, it just doesn't make business sense to potentially alienate a ridiculously large fan base.  Stating it should change makes as much sense as saying Mickey Mouse is too cartoony and should change.  No it shouldn't!  If a particular individual feels they have outgrown Mickey Mouse, they should just watch something else.
