the past decade? Really? Lol the hyperbole some of you post is just as embarrassing as the omission of not allowing gamepad multiplayer functionality.The fact that you can't use the gamepad to actually play when playing multiplayer might just be the dumbest decision in game design of the past decade. Whoever decided on that deserves a really hard slap across the face, followed by getting booted out of the Nintendo offices.
Also the slight pause/hitch whenever a player dies or picks up a power up in multiplayer is ridiculously annoying. In single player it's fine. In mulitplayer it fucks you up because you are not the one causing it.
