So the new Mario shows a mini-Mario, which is the first time he's shown up in a 3D game.   There's also no health bar in sight.  I'm wondering, does this mean the game will have the two-hit life system of the 2D games?  And if so, does that imply that the games will feature the smaller, but more tight, levels of the 2D games, but in a 3D environment?  I'm imagining something along the lines of the challenge levels of Sunshine.  That'd be cool...
