Cons
Con Starts out too easy
The first four worlds are pretty easy for anyone who has played a Mario game in the past. This makes for a pretty boring segment of the game, though it does get more difficult after that.
Con Not easy to find friends
There is no in game way to message friends to set up a match. This is inconvenient as outside methods of communication will have to be used for those that want to get a group of friends together at the same time.
