How come there is no LEGO Super Mario video game?

Or like even Lego Nintendo, throw all the iconic characters and maps in there, it just looks to me like such a missed opportunity, there is DC/Marvel/WB stuff, but no Nintendo at all? I know LEGO City Undercover was published by Nintendo on Wii U, so Nintendo and Travelers Tales worked together in the past and while it was pretty cool, I would love to see a LEGO game that uses Nintendo IPs.
Any thoughts why it didn't happen yet?

My guess is that Nintendo is picky with the IP - how things should look and work. Also wouldn’t surprise me if they want it to be something unique i.e. not just a platformer with a LEGO esthetic.

Looking at the Mario LEGO set the characters are unlike the regular LEGO style and they’ve gone for their own thing with a more interactive flare.
