I honestly don't feel like it would be that good of an experience. Between the screen being too small, and the controls being difficult to emulate (without making the screen even smaller), I feel like it would push away from the usual experience that Mario provides, and actually provide a false picture that Mario isn't as fun as it used to be.

Actually, I think if they make something for tablets that might work quite well - there are platforming games on tablets that work really well with standard controls, even if it's touch screen.

For example, I'm currently playing Leo's Fortune, and honestly, I don't think game would be any better if I had real controller in hands:

 

Of course, bigger question is would it be profitable to do it, given that they would have trouble selling it for more than 1/6-1/5 of usual console price.

With tablet games like this, I would agree you can provide the proper experience. But can you release a game to only tablets? My understanding is phones could (and would) still download the game. The reality is...Super Mario Maker (for instance), can, and is played on a tablet (granted it is more a modified tablet/controller), but I really don't think I would enjoy it on a phone.
