The short of my thoughts on this game is it has a lot going for it but its also sitting on a lot of wasted potential. I.E. its multiplayer which is a laggy mess that let's you only play with strangers. You can't even stick with the same group after one level. You can't label courses as co-op but can label them as versus. You can't spin jump and grab things mid air now, you can do the unintended kaizo moves but it's clear Nintendo tried their best to remove them so now their timings are way different. The game does have a lot improvements over the first overall and if you're not in it for the lacking multiplayer mode, it's a worthy successor otherwise. Just be warned. Multiplayer dedicated courses are currently unable to be a thing.
