The editors didn't like
Using motion controls isn't always fun or intuitive
Especially when playing on the go
Content is both short and easy
Stationary camera
Visually doesn't look great
The size and scope of each world and the game itself aren't clear
Co-op isn't that great or necessary
The storyline is basic. but it's Mario
Camera isn't tight enough

If not impossible
To use in handheld mode
Two player mode is disappointing
Minor
Infrequent framerate drops in select situations
Some of Cappy's minor actions require the use of motion controls
