Bowser's Fury the game is great. I have mixed feelings about Bowser's fury the mechanic, but I think it's mostly okay because the game is so short. It would probably be intolerable in a full-length Mario, but you can do all kinds of stuff in short games before they have time to wear out their welcome (though I suspect even here it'll get annoying before I can 100% it).
Anyway, a big open-world Mario is awesome and I'm excited for the next iteration of that idea
3D World is still great too. They changed it so that dying doesn't reset the green stars you've collected so far in the level, and also sped you up significantly; the combination of those things made it feel way easier to me. I got to 👑-👑 with barely any trouble this time. (Champion's Road is still rough, but I got decently far into it within my first couple tries so I feel confident I could polish it off given a bit more time.)
