Good read!
I love 2D Super Mario — in fact I think New Super Mario Bros. U is a great game and a top 20 launch title — so I’ve never subscribed to the idea that the series is stale. There are some really smart, engaging gameplay mechanics and level designs in modern 2D Mario platform games, recycled assets notwithstanding.
That said, I wouldn’t turn my nose up at a new aesthetic or a new gameplay hook. I certainly don’t want the sub-series to end, as it’s produced some amazing games over the last 30+ years.
