The only recent games I've seen with lives are Mario games, and it's kind of hard to imagine Mario without them. Other than that, they don't really fit in with most games.

Mario Odyssey doesn't have lives.

I think he was talking about 2d Mario maker. And yeah, something like that is a good use of the mechanic but in most games like 3d Mario, it's outdated
