Course clear. I'll obviously give Super Mario Odyssey a chance, but this should have been a Donkey Kong game, not Mario. Mario should never be sandbox - that goes against the origins of the franchise. Mario is the linear platformer and Zelda is the explorative action game. Metroid is the best of two worlds. To focus on exploration instead of pure, objective-based platforming in a Mario game is extremely franchise inauthentic.
