Pros:
+ Some great additions to the original game's, including an entirely new (if a bit restrictive) game theme in Super Mario 3D World
+ Most of all the new, cool stuff you'd expect from a newer Mario Maker
+ A genuinely pretty solid singleplayer mode this time!
+ Better ways to find new stages, and even a world editor (though it's quite restrictive too)
Cons:
- Somehow just doesn't really carry the same joy or "feel" as the original game
- The experience of making levels is dampened by not having the Wii U Gamepad (I know, technically not the game's fault, but it still does affect the enjoyment)
- While new ways of completing random levels were added, the original moode where you play through 10 different ones with limited lives was removed which greatly hampered the game's watchability on Twitch
- As mentioned above, many of the new features are too limiting to fully utilize them properly despite new objects
- The biggest scam ever in a Nintendo game to put Mario 3D World's theme in a separate category from the others called "Extra Game Themes" (with a plural) and then never adding more game themes
- Really lackluster updates in general
- Removed the cool amiibo support from SMM1
