I agree about the ending and the feedback, but the rest is a toss up. I think DK’s world mechanics mesh better with the universal design language instead of replacing it like Odyssey does. But because the destructive core of DK can be so dominant that it overwhelms the world design at times, so Mario’s feel more unique. I think the final vocal track for DK is far better than that of Mario, but Jump Up Superstar is still good, and tracks like Wooded Kingdom trade blows with Lagoon Layer to have them about even in OST. And the DK movement is almost never incentivized because of its mechanics. Mario’s can be over centralized around cappy, but things like the koopa races get you using a variety in a way that DK never really asks you to
I think they come out about even and offer a nice contrast of flavor
