We'll have a better idea after seeing DK's credits and seeing the amount of overlap with the Odyssey team and what support studios were involved.There is zero chance a 3D Mario is out by 2027.
Bananza is a full effort by the studio, development of the next 3D Mario game starts after.
For example, the 2D Mario team put out Mario Wonder and Pikmin 4 within 3 months of each other.
Another possibility is that Donkey Kong has mostly been finished for a while, but Nintendo sat on it until the Switch 2 launched.
