It indeed is a visually appealing Mario movie. Absolutely decent for what it is, even though the animation style of Illumination sometimes really bleeds through. It tries nothing ambitious and plays it relatively safe. It was fun pointing out all the references and geeking out about them. But that's about it. I didn't like, that they used pop-songs (like Mr Blue Sky) for some passages, it was a little out of place and the pacing was wayy to fast, it almost felt like I've seen everything in the trailers and TV Promos.
All in all an enjoyable movie with surprisingly good voice acting and a testament to my childhood.
