They identical pretty much aside from a gravity gimmick.

No they're not the whole approach is different, M64 is an open exploration in not only the hub but also the levels, SMG has better design in the levels but they're more of a closed linear approach, the latter was straight forward in dealing with the level's task while SM64 required exploration and puzzle solving. The only similarities are that they're 3d mario games.

Hahahahahaha.  No.

You can explore the levels, they are (mostly) completely non-linear and you can explore the castle grounds (secrets everywhere). What about that could not be considered exploration?
