Overall

 * 1) The music is great, and it has a lots of good songs as well, like the opening theme.
 * 2) Great character roster. There are very good picks like Yoshi, Peach, Eggman, and more.
 * 3) Great graphics for a late Wii/early 3DS game.
 * 4) The intro is really awesome. The music and CGI is outstanding.

Wii

 * 1) Many events have been improved from the original. Many of them now aren't mindless waggle-fests.
 * 2) The dream events are extremely fun. They're also quite creative, too, like soaring through the Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy in the Dream Spacewalk, swinging on Uneven Bars in Grand Metropolis, and even racing in balls in Bingo Highway.

3DS

 * 1) Many events have been simplified to work on the go.
 * 2) The playlist feature is very nice, especially considering this is a portable game.



Overall

 * 1) The lackluster single player content is disappointing.

Wii

 * 1) London Party is very confusing on your first go.
 * 2) The playlist feature on the 3DS version would've been nice for this version.
 * 3) No story mode from the 3DS Version, or even the mission mode from the first game.

3DS

 * 1) This version sometimes requires the touchscreen, motion controls, and the mic. This can be very annoying on the go.
 * 2) *This is even worse when some of the minigames were simplified for this version, and some could easily work with buttons.
 * 3) *Some minigames require you to shout to get a better score.
 * 4) *This game doesn't require the 3D effect, but some minigames pretty much need it for a good score.
 * 5) The story mode is very simplistic and somewhat shoehorned in.
 * 6) No Dream Events for some odd reason.
 * 7) Many of the minigames are downgraded for the worse, making some games just plain uninteresting.
 * 8) *The Hurdles event was reduced to a memory game.
 * 9) *The 1500M is very easy.
 * 10) The event select UI is afwul. It has very small buttons for an already small screen.
 * 11) *This is somewhat negated on the larger 3DS models.
 * 12) You can only pick from 4 characters, depending on the event.

Tips

 * In the 3DS version, you can just blow in mic to simulate shouting. If you also put your mouth on the mic and blow, it produces a stronger effect.
