Coming from a Verge interview with Shigeru Miyamoto...

"Over the years in our own experiments on our own platforms, we had come up with some ideas for how to make Mario simple for people who don’t play Mario games. One of the ideas we were working on we felt was too simple for a home console device, and ultimately that was the one we decided to bring to smartphones. (I hope people are) going to want to play a much more in-depth and a more challenging Mario experience … it’s going to increase the population of people interested in coming to our platforms, which is of course is our main focus."
