Basically the upper management was getting mad that Paper Mario was taking on too much of its own identity compared to the broader Mario brand. It's why Origami King is mostly just Toads all over the place.
If that's the case, I guess we have to thank...the Mario movie? For strengthening the core brand more than Paper Mario supposedly weakens it?
