2D Mario and 3D Mario don't need to be mixed though; 3D Mario was great on its own terms, the addition of 2D Mario conventions is unnecessary and doesn't improve it.

Its not mixing it, its classic Mario in a 3D environment. The 3D titles on N64/GC/Wii are essentially spin off since they are nothing at all like traditional Mario.

Classic Mario doesn't need 3D either. What works in 2D doesn't look like it works so well in 3D, in my view.

Have you played Super Mario 3D land?  The game is excellent, and contains one of the most difficult platforming challenges (the last secret level) I have ever experienced, rivaling even some of the most notoriously difficult games of the NES era.
