Coming from Yoshiaki Koizumi…

“I can’t reveal the actual number of power-ups in the game right now, but suffice to say that we do try to include enough so that people can enjoy a variety of different kinds of play experiences in the title.”

“Also, I should point out that we don’t necessarily decide on what number of famous Mario suits will appear in the game and proceed from there – we try to find interesting gameplay ideas and then try to settle on what to do in different places.”

“But I can say that we will definitely have some more familiar suits than just the Tanooki Suit.”

All I want to see is the Frog suit….
