That looks so weird. The aesthetics between Mario and the environment clashes too much, there's a great dissonance there. The kingdom/castle exterior area looks slightly better with Mario, but it actually pushes too far into cartoony, almost 2d looking. It seems like they just dropped a Mario model into some prebuilt environments.
They should've done one of two things: 1. make the Mario model more detailed, such as the one used in Smash Bros. 2. make the environments better match the Mario model.
I'd prefer number 2, though that'd take a lot more work.
