Well, most of the gimmicky levels are easy to explain People have a chance to easily play around with stuff that was just not normal now. Flying around with the clowncopter and shooting things for a whole level is not what you really get in normal mario Same goes for the autoplay levels - just watching something that's crafted to complete itself in (sometimes) astonishing and carefully crafted ways is nice to watch.

I suspect this is gonna die down quite a lot as people get used to it though - it's fun now cause it's new and unusual. It is going to get boring at some point though

Not to mention good level design as you'd see in mario games is hard for people who've never done it
