No, they hate open world where it doesn't belong. Look at Zelda. That's where open world belongs. Mario is a linear, objective based platformer. That's what it was always intended to be. That what it was initially designed to be. It's not an adventure. It's a set of short and straight forward challenges. It doesn't matter how well open world games are selling. Mario won't be one of them.
