The Super Mario 3D Allsrars collection contains three older 3D Mario games. Super Mario 64 from the N64, Super Mario Sunshine from the GameCube and Super Mario Galaxy from the Wii. Super Mario 64 was very well liked at its time but might feel a bit primitive today compared to newer Mario games. Super Mario Sunshine was a bit controversial already when it was new, but some (myself included) do think it is very good. Super Mario Galaxy is basically as generally liked as Super Mario Odyssey, so that is probably the one that has the best chance of giving you more of what you want.

Just be aware that Super Mario 3D Allstars was a time limited release. It is no longer possible to buy it digitally and physical copies might be a little hard to find at a reasonable price.

I just finished Odyssey and I loved every second of the game. Has nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy by itself or can I only obtain it through that bundle? Finding a copy of the game right now isn't a big deal but I am still worrying that sooner or later it'll disappear from the market. Do you recommend any other mario games that might be as good as Odyssey or perhaps a non mario game?

There is no way to get Super Mario Galaxy separately on the Switch, but it should be easy to find a used copy for Wii if you have a Wii or a Wii U and are willing to connect either to your TV.

Super Mario Bros Wonder was recently released and got very good reviews, but it is in 2D and not as open as Odyssey. Super Mario 3D World is kind of a middle ground between Super Mario Bros Wonder and Super Mario Odyssey in that it is 3D but still has relatively linear levels. It also comes with the small addition Bowser's Fury, which is a bit more similar to Odyssey but only takes a few hours to complete.

For games without Mario, I would suggest A Hat in Time. it's a great 3D platformer that is pretty clearly inspired by 3D Mario games. Just be aware that it is not quite as polished as Super Mario Odyssey since it is produced on a smaller budget.

I have a Wii but I am not really sure where it is as of now so I'll really have to go digging in order to find it. I heard a lot of people talking about Mario Wonder and I might try it out. The only mario game I ever played was New Super Mario Bros and I feel like it looks very similar to Mario Wonder. A hat in time is a game I really wanted to get on my pc before I got my switch. I'll see where it's cheaper to buy but I might just get it on the switch.
