That battle mode was fucking pathetic and the lack of block fort even in the Deluxe Switch version is a fucking crime on top of making MORE DLC after releasing the Deluxe version which was supposedly the completist of complete. Excessive DLC killed both Mario Kart and CTR for me.
I never really cared for Mario Maker, because the whole basis of it is reducing mario to a series of assets when there hasn't really been a true sequel on par with the original 4 games yet. In general it made mario feel soulless this was especially true after they bumrushed 3 NSMB games within a few years time and none of them are really fondly remembered.
Tropical Freeze makes me wonder why they were able to make 3 classics during the SNES era but struggled to crap out a single DKC game within the same amount of time. More work was involved with the SNES games because while everything was 3d rendered they had to convert shit into sprites and early texturing and modeling software was not as easy to use as today. Like they could have done two new DKC games for the wii-u at least.
