So thats why it is a good game, but not a good Mario game (in my opinion of course).

You are right about the Lost Levels of Super Mario Bros. Though, I am not sure it was because they were too hard, or because they thought TLL simply wasn't new and different enough. I believe I have heard both stories over time.
I have always wished they'd make a sequel in spirit to SMB2. I guess we'll never see one, though.
