You can argue 3D World is the evolution of Galaxy 2 level design since Galaxy 2 had less open worlds than Galaxy 1 and 3D world just expanded on being restrictive. Didn't play much of either of them much but Galaxy 2 still felt like Galaxy and 3D world just felt like a nicer 3D Land, and I don't consider 3D Land a 3D Mario game.

That's why Odyssey felt so fresh, it had been a decade since the last real 3D Mario, even more if you don't consider Galaxy 2 a 3D Mario. 3D Land is a nice game but it feels like a handheld Mario game, not quite the console experience but fun. I know people say 3D World gets really good near the end but those first few levels didn't make me feel the need to play again.
