I think that a younger team (well, less experient with 2D Mario anyways) would have come up with some new, fresh ideas for the series. They could really have tried something new!

It was a younger, different team that made NSMB2. The veterans are working on NSMBU.

Yes, I know, and that's why I think they had a great opportunity to make something new and fresh. They wouldn't have been held back by their old experiences with developing the game and could have gone a different way with it.
