Music needs to be more themed and not so...boring... Same goes with the visuals.
And I miss the over-world from SMW. NSMB has overworlds just for the sake of combining level themes, but SMW had one continuous over-world that changed and wasn't necessarily grouping only similar level types together. It felt more dynamic and more like an adventure traveling through that world.
I feel like Nintendo blatantly puts no work into their 2D Mario games anymore. = Then again... I feel like a lot of their 3D properties have been overcooked recently (Skyward Sword). Now that I think about it, I've been disappointed with almost all of Nintendo's offerings for the last number of years. Oh well..
