Don't you think people just mean that it feels like a Mario game at the same time as feeling fresh? That's certainly how I felt. It's "innovative" in the sense that there are things that you didn't expect, and that's fun and exciting. I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody means "innovative" in that it's ground-breaking in the larger gaming world or even in the platforming genre.
You're right. I think this person is just anti-Mario.
"Innovative" isn't the term I'd use to describe that, but it makes enough sense.
Said another way: the game is innovative (for a Mario game), NOT the game is innovative (for a platformer)
