    I think I'd give it to Super Mario Odyssey. It's super mainstream but goddamn is it good. Level design is fire, game rewards the hell out of exploration, and you can just like...do anything. Cappy is pretty cool too.

    Mario Sunshine has the best character control and movement options of any platformer I've ever seen but the level design is mediocre and the amount of content is half that of its predecessor. SMS is the definition of a "what if" game, because goddamn FLUDD is the most entertaining shit I've ever seen in a platformer.
