Haven't played 3D World, I'm sure it's fun, but it looked like it wants to be a 2d Mario game but probably isn't as good as them. Odyssey is great, though I'm not quite sure it reaches the level of iconic game like 64 and the Galaxy games did. I've put probably around 40 hours into Odyssey so far trying to get close to 100% right now, and will probably put another 15 or so in before I stop playing. Very good game, but not quite awe inspiring.
I'd probably put Galaxy or 64 as the best, then Galaxy, then Odyssey, then Sunshine. And I haven't played 3D World.
Some huge levels like the sand level just don't work that well for a platformer because it's mostly flat land which doesn't make sense in a platformer. There's no level that i disliked though, maybe the wooded forest level was my least favorite main level. Mushroom Kingdom was a very cool surprise but turned out to mostly just be a way to get Yoshi and refight all the bosses, still a nice addition though. I liked the final boss fight and the ending, not sure why some people didn't. The 8-bit 2D sections are so cool haha I always love finding a new one. Obviously there are plenty of moons that you don't have to do much for, but that was kind of the point. Instead of having only a few stars the game has a ton of moons that makes you have to really explore the levels and while some are easy and just kinda sitting around some are very well hidden and some are gotten by accomplishing main challenges of the level.
I really enjoyed Odyssey - great levels, costumes are hilarious, 2d sections are great, boss fights are nice, bigger game than i expected with nice surprises, plenty of platforming and exploring, cappy was a cool tool to use, New Donk City was awesome.
