The second half of Mario 3D World is basically Mario Galaxy 3. It even has quite a few space themed levels.
I think people take the title as throwing them too literally ... EAD Tokyo should've just called it Super Mario Kingdom or something. It has as much in common with the Galaxy games as it does with 3D Land.
Super Mario Sunshine is really the odd ball of the 3D Mario games.
And blaming the Wii U's crappy sales on Mario 3D World is really unfair ... the system was a lost cause conceptually, Nintendo was so out of touch when making this system, that pinning it on one game (that was one of the best games Nintendo's ever made) is silly. In hindsight even trying to make a successor to the "Wii" (a casual gaming fad) was a big mistake.
Mario Kart 8 is a great game and it's failed to keep the Wii U even selling above 100k a month in the US (not even GameCube level). Why not blame MK8 while you're at it?
