The NY stage seems odd in a Mario Game, but the game itself looks great.

Could be a proper successor to Mario 64. Looking great.

The Ny stage is odd, felt like Sonic Adventure and that would be bad

Stylistically it looks a bit of a mess, but an open world Mario game? That's gonna sell a shit-ton.

I've seen some great new ideas (the hat used as a platform), some good ideas (both realistic and Marioesque stages) and some bad ideas(realistic NPCs in NY)
