Don't get me wrong, Odyssey was good, but Mario 3D World is just better. I found 3D World more creative and just plain old more fun. If I were to rank Mario 3D games:

1) Galaxy 1/2
2) 3D World
3) Mario 64
4) Odyssey
5) Sunshine

The problem with Odyssey is many of the moons feel lazy, as opposed to intentional.  Half the moons are just sitting around in plain sight with little thought to placement within the level.  Odyssey has a ton of outfits for Mario, but they don't have any gameplay implications, so the outfits feel arbitrary and serve only as a means to make the game appear deeper/longer than it is.  Again, I like Odyssey, a solid 8/10 (maybe 9/10).  But for me Galaxy and 3D World are the best 3D Mario games.
