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.

To be completely fair, not all Mario 64 levles were "open", several were not, and on the flip side of that, Mario Galaxy had a few levels that were quite a lot bigger than those found in Mario 64. But yes, in general I think the games are different, aside from the core Mario mechanics.
