Okay, I'll admit I had to look up a Youtube longplay of this and compare it to Game Builder Garage in order to refresh my memory. Giving it a full 5 stars and calling it "Nintendo's own LittleBigPlanet 2" was too generous of me.
But it gives you much more freedom than the Super Mario Maker series, so it's still really good.

It's a disaster compared to Yoshi's Island, but it also has some of the most charming presentation of any Nintendo game ever made, and strongly encourages replayability like Star Fox 64 does.

I know that the original Yoshi's Island is something of a gold standard for 2D platformers, but I think the vitriol against this game is overblown.
Compared to other Yoshi games, this is an acceptable sequel which retains such a high difficulty curve that I quit playing by the end of the fourth world.
