That's oddly a staple of the 3D Mario games even years later: Super Mario Sunshine had an annoying miniboss and a ton of cutscenes before entering the first world, and Super Mario Galaxy had cutscenes and a very long intro level before getting to the main game. Galaxy 2, Odyssey, and Bowser's Fury toned the tutorials down a bit.

The latest Mario game, Super Mario Wonder, still does it. Especially the stuff that pops up after you finish a level.

  Wonder is a more modern balance, but it still does have quick tutorials for new mechanics which is fair. The more traditional tutorials are replaced by the Talking Flowers.

    The flowers have a good sense of humor, I thought that was their main purpose :)
