2D Mario games should ditch wall sliding and wall jumping

more important than removing something is adding something.

They should add old moves like upward kick etc.

Refresh my memory: upward kick?

It's really your choice to do it or not, you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

Fully conceded, save for the portions where it's mandatory to get a Star Coin. I hope though that its removal will lead to tighter level design down the road, as the player no longer has this potential crutch at his disposal.

In SMW you could take a turtle shell and kick it upwards to hit 1UP blocks being way above you. Same was possible with those blocks that started to blink once you grabbed them.

Just being able to throw/kick them horizontally feels outdated. I also always juggled with these things  while running to the finish "line"  it was fun.
