Pick Super Mario Bros Wonder if you are playing with others.
Four-player local, badges that change how you move, and levels that keep breaking their own rules. Short, and the best few hours of the two.
Pick Super Mario Odyssey if you are playing alone.
Far more to do, a much deeper moveset, and worlds you will return to.
