Cons
Con Difficult
Even playing on easy is pretty challenging, which may be frustrating for players.
Con Online discovery can be difficult
One can spend hours making a level, to then upload it only to see almost no one play it. The reverse of that is also an issue as browsing for levels is not that intuitive, which makes finding good user made levels to download and play difficult.
Con Levels can be randomly deleted
nintendo has stated that any level that is uploaded online may face deletion if found to be "unpopular" after an amount of time. How much time this is or what specifically "unpopular" means has never been defined by Nintendo, leaving users to see their content deleted at random.
