I haven't played the Switch version yet, but yeah Mario characters existed in the original. Goombas, Pirahna plants, Wart, Kirby, the Picture of Peach, the frog dude (Richard was his name I believe?), Bow Wow all were in the original GB and GBC versions.

Yes they were all there lol.

I dont know exactly why (other than just goofing off) but apparently in an interview it was stated that, at the time, they felt like they were making a parody of Zelda lol.

Most of them that arent Chain Chomp only show up in the 2D segments, so it could have just been easier to use pre-existing enemies.

It was also a pretty ambitious game relative to the hardware at the time, so maybe they didnt mind goofing off a little with the cameos.

If Yamcha would have brought his bat along he'd have blasted Jiren out of the ring like Ness in smash brothers. - Gids_goft

This touched on that. But the whole video and story is rather interesting and worth a watch.

Also Tarin being based on Mario including a reference to the Leaf power up (raccoon suit), the yoshi doll, and the guy on Tal Tal heights in the shack looks a lot like Luigi were other references to Mario games.
