Games take inspiration all the time from eachother, especially in the same genre. Some of those mechanics are present in other games as well, maybe even before mario did it. Like Infamous had the hanging floating thing already, but without the lines underneath it.
Also so many more mechanics in astro bot like the mouse shrinking thing that are new not being mentioned here. Ofcourse if you make a video showing them one after the other its gonna look like everything was copy pasted. But they made adjustments and made it their own.
Also things like the splatoon thing, things like that have been done with water forever. Was Mario copying that? Or just inspired? I mean come on, this just seems like some nintendo fans scared of a little competition
