In an interview with Gamekult, Super Mario 3D World producer Yoshiaki Koizumi revealed their plan, or lack thereof, to include DLC in the latest 3D Mario action-adventure game, Super Mario 3D World. Potentially sad news for some fans who were looking forward to add on content, though Koizumi revealed some encouraging news about future 3D Mario releases as well.

Yoshiaki Koizumi: \”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.\”

He continued: \”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.\”

So for all you 3D Mario fans who were looking the next Super Mario 64, Sunshine, or Galaxy, it would be wise of you to start speaking your mind.
