A true step forward in what?

Indeed, in everything: controls, physics, maps size and detail, graphics (actually the last time Nintendo achieved state of the art).

The graphics were not state of the art even for 2002. Games like Rogue Squadron II and Halo had already achieved far better.

And the controls weren't any better than Mario 64.

And Gran Turismo 3 had also achieved more impressive results, but ... in a different genre. Sunshine was the state of the art in platformers and had some physics and graphical effects that those racing games or a shooters did not have.

About the controls, they were more complex and with more evolved physics. If they were better, that's subjective. But I guess any objective parameter points towards that (it was better).
