Super Mario Odyssey is a game I'm conflicted on because there's a lot of potential in it but it just really falls flat to me due to the overabundance of shines in it. The cap gimmick is a great idea that feels like an expanded version of Kirby's, and all the forms you can take are neat; but the problem is that you barely have to do much with it. A lot of the shines are just gotten through a single action, such as ground pounding something that's sparkling, and it just leads to a very bloated game with less actual gameplay.

Overall, probably my second least favorite 3D Mario, with only 64 coming beneath it.
