It's a wonderful game. Don't let the same complainers convince you otherwise. In 20 years, it will still be a blast, unlike Mario 64. Yes, 64 was hugely influential, but its design is extremely repetitive, it has awful bosses (spinning bowser by his tail in 3 battles...wow, so awesome), going through the same level 6 times gets really old, etc. It is still a great game and has a wonderful central hub and some good tunes, but all of the other 3D mario games (except maybe sunshine) are massively improved and better.
I don't think 3D World is as good as the galaxies (arguably the best games ever, imo), but if I were to replay any of them, it would be 3D World. it is just a fun, well-designed, highly enjoyable game. not every game needs to be genre-defining.
