The latest Super Mario Bros. games added DLC to the picture, but that doesn’t mean Nintendo is going to stick to that trend with every upcoming game of the series. As part of an interview with the French site Gamekult, Producer Yoshiaki Koizumi was very clear in stating that “there’s no plan” to create additional downloadable content for the upcoming Super Mario 3D World.
I don’t know if we can consider Super Mario 64 as an open world game, but I think Super Mario Sunshine is more consistent with that definition because of the city and entire worlds to explore. Our main standpoint with Super Mario is to ensure that players always know where to go.
It’s for this reason that we have given great importance on the placement and visibility of the flags, particularly in Super Mario 3D World . Again, as creators, we want a large number of people to be able to play and enjoy the game, so it’s sort of our duty to ensure that the objectives are clear to everyone. However, if a very large number of players expressed the desire for a more open Mario, we would take that request very seriously.
