Unlike most franchises I think Nintendo should stay away from 2D Mario games. Every attempt they've made since 2006 has felt vanilla and pedestrian.Meanwhile their 3D Mario games have generally been superior experiences in virtually every category.
2d mario = cheap development for a cheap company3d mario = a gamble in sales and a bone throw for nintendies to eat it upsimple as business model
Unfortunately Wonder focused on bizarre spectacle while its idea of changing up the gameplay formula was to have fewer boss fights. Except for the last few bonus levels the game just isn't challenging, so you look back on your experience with the game and you whizzed through it so fast you struggle to remember parts of it.
They've only made five 2D Mario games in 20 years.
