I think they were going for Game Cube level “child-friendliness” with the 64 but didn’t have the fidelity for it until the Game Cube. I don’t think Mario Kart 64 or Super Smash Bros was any more or less cutesy than Double Dash or Melee.
Wind Waker was definitely more light-hearted than Ocarina or Majora’s Mask, though.
Yeah but the main line games like Mario were way more childish.

Mario Sunshine is more childish than Mario 64? 🤨
The only Mario game that has a political message is more childish than the one entirely about getting some pie?
I will give you that Wind Waker got slammed for the graphic style being too childish.
