Battle system? Has little to no depth or strategy and is insultingly easy, way more than the other games in the series.
Incentive for battling? literally the only thing you get for battling is coins (and the occasional sticker), you spend them on single use stickers which you need to do anything in battle so any non-required battle is a literal waste of time.
Story and characters? Non-existent for the former and very, very scarce for the latter, charm? Also very, very scarce.
worlds and creativity? new super mario bros.
positives? music and visual presentation is pleasant, mostly unremarkable but pleasant + the snifit or whiffit bit and the boo's mansion levels were pretty alright, little diamonds in the septic tank but it's something,
hotel? trivago.
