I think I'd have to go with SMW

Personal preference, but if you asked me "of all Mario games", it would also come down to a decision between these two.

    I realize it's comparing apples to oranges but Paper Mario and Odyssey have to be in the discussion.

    Is no one in this thread going to mention Sunshine? Clearly the best SM game without a doubt

    Sunshine had some cool ideas and introduced Bowser Jr. but I wouldn't put it over Galaxy or Odyssey as a 3D platformer.

    Why would you rank those two as better platformers? I reckon FLUDD introduced a lot of fun ways to solve the level puzzles and the hub world is the best designed next to Mario 64.

    FLUDD is pretty well done but, pun unintended, they still hadn't nailed the fluidity of movement that the later titles have. (The existence of a hub world is pretty neutral for me, they mostly serve as a way to soft tutorial the controls.)

    I think you're right with odyssey, that game played beautifully but galaxy (the first one at least) felt as jank if not more jank than sunshine. The wiimote never felt good for platforming and the switch adaptation also struggles with awkward camera angles.
