There are two likely explanations.
1. Nintendo would have put more into it if they knew how high the demand would be.
2. Malstrom is right, and Nintendo doesn't see 2D Mario as worth the effort (because they like making 3D Mario more), which is why Galaxy 2 got all the polish over this game and NSMBWii.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
