Except that, again, these new possibilities go unexplored outside of the optional Star Coin stuff. Nintendo may feel it can't use these mechanics outside the optional challenge areas, or it risks alienating large segments of the population. I would argue there is some merit to that concern, although I concede they have not made any concerted effort to even test that theory.
