While smaller than its well-known sequel, there is still a place for this game.
The number of unlockables and characters is much lower, however, I do prefer the way you unlock the cast, giving us a world map to explore and play through individual missions that unlock pieces of each character that you then put together like a puzzle. On top of that, having a world map instead of a general planet to travel to makes each local more exciting.
Unfortunately, unlike its sequel, when you fully complete the main story campaign you are just left with the local multiplayer. If it had more replayability then I would say this is just as good as its successor.
Regardless, you should still play this game. There are aspects this game does better than Jump Ultimate Stars, and even if it didn't, it is still an incredible Smash-like experience.
