Super Mario Sunshine. I think the only 3D Mario game that could be considered more of a black sheep is 3D Land due to it being the smallest in scale of a 3D Mario game and its few puzzles that are awkward without 3D turned on. 3D Land is great and along with Mario Kart 7 it was a much-needed boost of life (along with a price cut) to 3DS.
Sunshine has awkward moments in the physics (that darn boat ride) and has been surpassed by the Galaxy games and Odyssey, but the atmosphere is amazing. And the gameplay itself? Great at worst.
