Typo, 30. Most people have no problem playing Mario on Switch, 3DS, Wii U today. You are entitled to you opinion, but it does not represent the majority. My suspension is that you aren't holding the controller the right way. The two lowest, most outward buttons on the right (O and X) are best for the most frequent actions, because you can't press the other two buttons by mistake with your thumb that way.
I realize that for instance in Symphony of the Night you use X the jump, while square represents your left hand and circle your right. In that specific instance, it makes sense to put the jump button in "the middle", because otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach both attack buttons at the same speed.
