This isn't Mario 128. This is Banjo Threeie.And I'm okay with that.
Lol huge levels. Watch that part from treehouse where they are on top of the building. You can see the entire level. It is small as fuck.

You can't see the entire underground area and sewer system though
Or the high-up platforming sections in the clouds
The difference is that Mario has actual platforming and more complex controls.
