First off, I'm super excited by this. However, is it just me or is it a little disturbing to see Mario and his crew greatly out of proportion with the other "humans" in the world of Mario Odyssey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ti9rFafwTw&t=65m49s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ti9rFafwTw&t=65m49s)?

The two elder people at the end that play with Mario are about the same proportion as Mario. So what do you mean? But for a second you see that the New York level is really just a few city blocks. And all the skyscrappers are just a background skybox. So the city level is Mario level kind of small, not a complete city like in Lego City Undercover. Overall the new Super Mario finally returns to the Mario 64 and Galaxy kind of real 3D gameplay. I personally did't like the isometric 2.5D style simplified 3DS and WiiU Mario World games.

  Did you play Mario 3D World on Wii U? That wasn't simplified isometric 2.5D!

    The camera is fixed in an isometric view, sometimes called 2.5D, it's more targeted to causual people. The older Mario 64 had a third person perspective, the camera follows the character. It allows a lot more immersion and more complex level design.

      I work in games and I am still not sure I understand the difference. I found the camera in 3D World to be a bit more free than in Mario 64 (if I am recalling the camera rotation limitations correctly).

  There are a few scenes throughout the trailer. In this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ti9rFafwTw&t=67m14s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ti9rFafwTw&t=67m14s, notice how the people around Mario are proportioned like the ones in this world, while Mario, himself, likes like a, ahem... cartoon character.

I found the whole "Mario in the real world" disturbing overall. A bit nightmarish.

  Then definitely do not watch the 1993 Hollywood Super Mario Bros. movie, which is Mario in the real world complimented with really weird and distributing makeup/prosthetics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMZKYnLg5c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMZKYnLg5c

  It reminded me of Super Mario Sunshine, which is not a good thing.
