What? Thats literally how ot works in mario. You don't go immediatly into small mario. You go super and then small. Redigit was just lazy to do that.
SMBX's power-up mechanics are designed after Super Mario World, where you
do go back to being small Mario when you're hit, no matter what power-up you're using. I agree that having both an item box and the SMB3 power-up mechanics would be slightly too easy.
edit: Also, in both SMW and SMBX, you get a mushroom in your item box if you go from big Mario to a higher power-up, which accomplishes essentially the same effect as going from Fire Mario to big Mario or whatever.
