I'd say it's a time between 64 or Odyssey.
Galaxy games are overrated tbh

Odyssey is painfully overrated. The world count is tiny, and it's simply not difficult enough. There are hardly any bosses outside of the Broodles, which I hate. Mario Galaxy kept hammering you with unique boss after boss, galaxy after galaxy. The two games combined had around 90 galaxies, plus the hub world, prankster comets, and it was a blast to play. It became one my favorite games ever back before I read reviews or anything. Once I visit a world, I have no incentive to go back - I spent enough time poking around during my first visit. I finished the basic ending and feel no reason to go back.
