One thing though is that if it's 2D it has to have like over 50 levels like SMB3 or SMW. 10 levels is acceptable in a full 3D platformer where each area has multiple objectives but in a one goal per level based game there has to be a lot of levels.
A 2D game though certainly doesn't sound like the "true followup to Super Mario 64" that Mario 128 is often heralded as.

The only people I've heard herald it as the true followup to SM64 (implying SMS wasn't) are people who, for whatever reason, hated SMS. Often for the most silly reasons too, like it not having a GREEN Yoshi and being too tropical. Miyamoto himself has commented that he felt SMS was too similar to SM64 and that Mario 128 will be very different. So people expecting the game to be the more traditional, straigh-forward SM64 sequel they wanted but didn't get from SMS are bound to be dissapointed again.

It's the context that counts. When Miyamoto said it would be the true successor he meant it would be different than SM64 because he feels the true successor to a Mario game should be different and not just an update on the same exact formula like he feels SMS was.
When most of the anti-SMS types say it will be a true successor they mean it WILL be just an update on the same formula of Mario 64 unlike SMS which they don't believe is a true successor to it because they felt it was too different with the tropical setting, water-pack, etc...
It's confusing, I know, but Miyamoto did elaborate on the comment and make his feelings about the games VERY clear in the interview.

i think it could work out easilly- the overworlds could be in 3d and the levels in 2d (with 3d graphics)
if you come accross something that seems interesting then you can switch the camera from the side 2d view to a 3d behind you view to find diffent paths and special items
i just hope this is true- and if it is- the return of 2 player mario games!!!!

Sounds like a plausible explanation, I was having trouble visualizing it. But, yah you could have a path going off in the background of the 2D world so you would switch to 3D to take it. And maybe some bosses and enemies have to be beat in 3D.
Knowing Miyamoto, it is going to be revolutionary on a universal scale.
Bring it.
