I haven't beaten Galaxy yet, but I'm close enough to pretty much think that the Koopa kids aren't in it. I do love the return of the airships, though, even if Bowser Jr. is piloting them about.
One of the interesting things I took from that interview apart from the story elements is how Miyamoto teaches. It seems like Nintendo in general is great at fostering creativity, which can be an incredibly difficult thing to do. As a teacher I see this all the time from kids who can't stand open-ended directions and it takes me quite some time to eek creativity out of some of the kids. The fact that Nintendo seems to do this from the top down explains why their games always generally seem to break the mold.
