This game is at its heart an exploration of both Mario's personal and cultural themes, exposing our exploitative relationship with our environment on a personal level and, by extension, as a society or species. The platforming in this sense is a symbol of the by-products of our capitalist consumerism, with Mario reflecting the role of the media; alerting us, ridiculing us, perhaps even judging us - the media becomes a collective conscience that binds us to our own environmental mortality. The refrain of titchmarsh is answered by our inability as a global society to take a truly global responsibilty; as we continue to go therough the stage at such high speeds we are nevertheless reminded that the platforming is in fact very much situated in our own Mushroom Village.
