Do people care about cutscenes in SMBX Mario games?

I am frankly amazed that they are possible to do, and I've never really figured them out so I am always impressed by them.
I died in one once, in 2P mode. We wrote it off as ending the game on a high note of comedy and never played that one again. It was during some custom credits too so I don't think we missed anything.
If done well, why not? The argument that "mario games shouldn't have cutscenes" is pretty silly to me.

It's a pain in the ass with this editor, especially if you want to go beyond just littering the screen with text boxes.

It's also the only thing stopping me from releasing Neo Retro Super Mario Bros. :x

People definitely care. Because the editor is so obtuse the first question that pops up is "how anyone could possibly even." Plus cutscenes are super cute ways of introducing the game in an editor that usually plops you right in. Acts as a great signifier that your project is a quality one and worth playing through.

The interesting thing is it wouldn't be that hard to make Ninja Gaiden-esque cutscenes with the background objects and your own art assets. The events and layers in place don't make it too difficult to do, mechanically. You just have to have...y'know...drawing talent.

That talent is something I have! I've been thinking of going down this route even before you mentioned it. I just need to quit being lazy.

As long as the levels are well-designed and are fun to play, then I really couldn’t care less if the game had any cutscenes or not. Although having cutscenes DO help, if it’s completely redundant as a whole, then it really doesn’t matter that much in the end of things for me. I play Mario games mostly for the high platforming action. The story? Not so much.

Besides, Super RMN World didn’t have that many cutscenes in it and I still love to this day. So it doesn’t really matter to me that much.
