Could the endless runner angle be the "change" in the Mario series Miyamoto was talking about for NX?

I'd like to think that when he said drastic change he meant the Mario equivalent of Breath of the Wild........... more or less.

As a platformer, the world(s) would have to be segmented into parts like alaxy. It doesn't work really as a complete open world.
