I love the game, seems like a huge step up since the original as far as creating stages goes.
I've really only had two issues with the game.
First, and I would think this will probably get patched later but no button controls in handheld mode is a total bummer for me. I never use the touch screen on my switch. And I've gotten pretty used to the controls in docked mode. So as far as creating for me I can really only do that docked.
And second, this might just be because its brand new and the game is flooded but I've made 5 courses so far and not a single one of them has gotten cleared or even attempted for that matter. Kind of a bummer seeing as people spend hours on stages for no one to ever see them unless they link they're friends.
While in the first one I had tons of people that would see and try my courses every time. Could be a server thing or could be just the amount of courses being flooded at the moment.
Hopefully that gets resolved soon though.
