Yeah, can't say it does anything for me, either. I don't even like the graphical style; the characters look like stickers, some parts of the world look like paper crafts, other sections look like crude 3D models, it's just a mush of different, vaguely related aesthetics. Even with gimmicks like the rotating combat arenas and stretchy arms, it all just looks very bland somehow. Lots of empty space, generic environments, identical characters. As with games like Mario Tennis and Mario Party, it's just become an "also ran" series for Nintendo; something they have a lesser developer knock out every few years to fill a gap in the schedules.
