The New Super Mario Bros. series featured the moveset off the 3d games, from the triple jump to the wall jump to the butt stomp. It can be seen as taking the 3d Mario and putting him in a 2d game. That could be what he means here.
In general Miyamoto has been far less involved in game development the last 10 years, and the last few years in particular he's been more involved in the Universal Nintendo World than anything else.
Miyamoto is the greatest videogame designer of all time. It isn't close. Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros 1-3, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario World, A Link to the Past, F-Zero, Super Mario 64, Star Fix 64, Ocarina of Time, Pikmin, Luigi's Mansion, Nintendogs. He was very involved in the development and success of the original Pokemon games, he's responsible for Samus swapping visors in Metroid Prime. He was involved in the development of Wii Sports, Nintendogs, the Galaxy games and pretty much all Zeldas through the early 2010s. The man has made his share of mistakes, from his dismissal of the importance of stories in games like Paper Mario to his dismissal of the original Donkey Kong Country as being graphics over gameplay, but no one can come close to his influence and impact on how games are made or sheer number of games that would be on any 'greatest games of all time' list.
