Everyone is allowed their own opinion. So I’m not going to say you are wrong for disliking it, but I completely disagree.
I consider Super Mario World to be the best in the franchise, and Wonder was probably better. I loved the game. I found most of the “New Super Mario” (The 2D series) games bad, or at least missing the magic of the first games with tight controls and well thought out levels. Wonder was a return to that.
I consider the best “New” to be Wii by far. Good challenge, good level diversity, the right kind of chaotic fun in multiplayer.
The first NSMB was still very basic, and U was boring and uninspired. New Super Luigi U was the best part of U, at least it tried something, but too little too late.
NSMB2 felt like the worst example of “we need a Mario game now, pile up random shit until we have one”. I mean, they tried to have a gimmick in this one, putting it everywhere in theming and it’s… Collecting more coins than usual? And even then they don’t do anything with it.
By the way, of course everyone is allowed their opinion, but… 30 years later, still team SMB3.
