Mario Galaxy is based on free-movement and camera, and it's gameplay consists of levels with multiple end-points (the Stars) accessible from a single hub-world. Exactly like 64 and Sunshine. Mario 3D World on the other hand is based on 8-way movement and fixed camera, with gameplay elements like linear one-time visits to levels with single-start/single-endpoint (the Flagpole) and based on time, accessible from linearly progressing 'worlds'. Like the 2D games. Galaxy's base-game design is reminiscent of 64 and Sunshine, 3D World is of the 2D games. Saying Galaxy is discounted because it's less open and therefore fits more with 3D World is like saying Skyward Sword isn't a real Zelda game because there's no Hyrule Field.

Expect that all those end-points in Mario Galaxy are linear, and there no exploration like you have in SM64 and SMS. From that point Mario Galaxy and SM3DS are more similar compared to SM64 and SMS, thats why Nintendo make this picture literally saying that Odyssey will be SM64/SMS like game, open sandbox world with exploration, and not like Galaxy and Land/3DWorld.

It is what it is man.
