Topic: Miyamoto Hopes to See Super Mario 3DS Released in 2011

After all these years of Nintendo denial and misdirection, it's kind of disappointing that he doesn't even try to dance around it. I've got some kind of Stockholm Syndrome, apparently.

Actually, he specifically mentions the tanuki tail and flying in the interview. Whether it's the tail, the suit, or both is unclear since, in Japanese, both were tanuki powers, not "raccoon."

Really? That's not the quotation I saw; nonetheless they were two very different yet similar power ups. But that's pretty much what I said, it's not specified which, if not both, will appear in the new game, just that the familiar tail makes a return.

As long as KURIBO'S MOTHERFUCKING SHOE also returns, I support this.

Just take all the Power Ups from Super Mario 3.  Then make Luigi, Mario, Daisy, Peach, and Toad playable in there unique ways.  I don't know what to do with poor Yoshi...

A part of me would like a return to more consistent power-ups as opposed to the timing based ones, but one advantage of the timed powers is that, when it only appears at very specific points, the level can be designed to utilise it to a greater extent. If the player is allowed to take their power-ups into every level, they have to be slightly more generic, because you have to be able to complete the level as regular Mario.

I suppose it's okay to have little secrets in levels that can only be found by using powers. But you couldn't have a level where you NEED to use the Raccoon Suit to finish it, as you might arrive there without it, and then you'd to have to back out to find it elsewhere. Not really a good idea.

Yeah, different interview.

YES PLEASE. In most cases, the specialized power-ups just lead to lazy level design, in my opinion.

I'm with Megabyte on this one.  Going back to a more Super Mario Bros 3 everything would be preferable.

Make him into a powerup that the other characters can ride.

As a power up Yoshi replaces to many Power ups.  Though he be an interesting playable through Super Mario 3.

Well, not every powerup is going to be available on every level, so whatever powerups conflict with him can be omitted from the levels he is in and vice versa.
