I also recently took a chance on Legends, since I had nothing else to do until Titanfall. I'd never played a Rayman game before, and always assumed that they were like Diet Coke versions of Mario games. Man was I wrong! Rayman Legends has consumed me for the past week. I absolutely love it, and am enjoying it far more than any 2D Mario game I ever played.
I think the thing that puts it over the Mario 2D platformers is the level of difficulty and the amount of content. I found most of the recent Mario games to be short and easy. Legends doesn't have that problem.
