It's still very good, even after all these years. I don't give a toss about its camera, its expansion on the DS or even the fact that I had to play it in French when it came out. It's still a very good game that is able to do a lot more with 3D platforming than half the titles of today. Maybe because it sat at the verge of a paradigm shift, it feels like this game is figuring out everything as it's going, and in the process it's trying all sorts of things. Still, it does not feel as polished or presentable as many titles that would come later, which maybe gives it a more experimental vibe than most Mario titles.
