Especially when playing on the go
Content is both short and easy
Stationary camera

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

Minor
Infrequent framerate drops in select situations
Some of Cappy's minor actions require the use of motion controls
