This is a misunderstanding of what Mario Club is - QA company spun off from the old Seal of Approval. It's on the side of technical testing than design.[0]
The idea you're exploring might be more akin to the Mario Cram School[1] which involved getting staff across all of Nintendo, not just designers, creatively exploring Mario development. But straight up assuming that Nintendo's approach towards design makes it a thumbs-up dismisses notions people have that newer Nintendo games overuse tutorials to the point of infantilising the audience.
