This might bump up to a 3.5 when the game is actually finished but right now this is the worst offender of the Switch Era Mario Sports games' "just add the content later" approach. Next Level games does an amazing job bringing personality to these characters yet again and the core gameplay is extremely solid but there is just nothing here to really keep you coming back. Also, they made the pitch a bit too small for my liking. Feels like having some variety in field sizes would go a long way towards mixing things up with the gameplay, and if they scrapped that idea because it wouldn't fit with their weird "every stage is a mash-up of two different stages" gimmick then that was an extremely bad call.
