Nintendo hasn't made a new 2d Mario platformer since 1992 (Super Mario Land 2 for GB. After that, Yoshi's Island/Story have Yoshi, and Wario Land 1-4 have Wario, and Donkey Kong ('94, for GB) did star Mario, but really was mostly a puzzle game so I don't know if it really counts as a platformer...), so maybe they forget how... :) After all its been 11 years since a real new Mario 2d platformer!
