I'm really surprised how much I enjoyed this. I never played it originally because I'd played 3D World on the WiiU in the past so wasn't that excited for the Switch port but this REALLY switches things up a lot.

Bowser's Fury feels the most like a modern sequel to Mario 64. Individual levels with multiple objectives built into one larger hub. It's nice and small scale to the point it just feels cozy to play for a couple of hours.

Mario feels strangely Sonic-like in his animations in the few cutscenes of the game as well, not just because he goes Super Saiyan for the boss fights, but the way his face expresses and his arm movements felt really Sonic-y to me, idk.
