Of course Mario's human. He's just proportioned differently from typical humans. Art style and all, you know.

It'd be weird if Mario was proportioned realistically.

Apparently so. It's a really trivial thing to bring up.

It certainly wouldn't lend itself well to the art style, that's for sure.

Of course Mario is human. He just sports a unique appearance that makes him special from the norm.

Question is, why can't they scale the humans down to his size? Or would that of been more jarring?

I suspect this is all a deliberate act of misinformation, designed to conceal revelations not suitable for Nintendo to publicly disclose.
In fact, it would not surprise me if the game designer responsible for these comments was donning a suspicious moustache and red cap during the interview...

Unless it's some big plot twist or something, it just looks like an entirely different game mashed together with Mario. New Donk City residents should at least be proportioned like Peach/Daisy/Rosalina, and it's weird that the T-rex looks so realistic in the same game as other reptiles like Bowser or Yoshi.

Just like Bob Hoskins.

It's Mario. It's not meant to be taken seriously.

Just cartoony in a realistic-type world, no biggie. I treat it like Roger Rabbit and other media of that type.

He just hasn't eaten any of Donkey Kong's bananas. But hey, that's just a theory. A Game Theory. Thanks for watching.

I've always taken it that Mario is really short to begin with.
I never even batted an eye at people in New Donk City being so much taller than him.

Well said. It's like putting Mario next to Lightning from FFXIII and expecting that to somehow look normal when it's not actually a big deal.
