No, they'll change up the gameplay, same as always. Each 2D Mario has gotten its own set of powerups, enabling them to come up with new level designs.

What we *might* see is future powerups, enemies, and level features becoming DLC in some way for SMM.

 Plus, recent 2D Mario games have gotten multiplayer functionality, and that's unlikely to stop any time soon, while SMM is purely single-player (in the sense of actual play). And there are some powerups that, to our knowledge, are not present in SMM that have been in 2D Mario games. Tanooki Suit, Frog Suit, Hammer Suit, Penguin Suit, Ice Flower, Mini Mushroom, Power Balloon, Super Acorn, and Yoshi's Wings, to be specific. EDIT: Missed Carrot, Super Flower, Blue Koopa Shell, Mega Mushroom, Gold Flower, Boost Star, and P-Acorn.
