3D World has as much in common with the Galaxy games as it does with 3D Land. The second half of the game is basically Galaxy 3 as far as I'm concerned. 

To be honest too the "upside-down gravity" sections of the Galaxy games weren't all that fun. More disorienting than anything else. 

3D World is easily up there with Galaxy 1/2 as the three best Nintendo made games of the last 10 years. 

3D gravity physics were one of the central mechanics of Mario Galaxy. Add its spared-no-expense presentation and epic vibe, and it captivated people.

As great as 3D World was, it was nowhere near as impactful; in concept it was a HD sequel to a 3DS game.

The Wii's install base is not the only reason Galaxy trounces 3D World is sales; we can see that with Galaxy 2's lower sales despite releasing on a bigger base. Fans are more attracted to fresh, epic, impressive games than modest ones.
