It's not like Nintendo to fail at these things, and yet here we are. Where the first Mario movie reached a chef's kiss level of finesse, its sequel is an empty shell in comparison.
It's hard to say what's missing. And it could be that nothing is. The plot is okay, the jokes okay. The fan-service is... well quite fantastic actually and possibly the only reason to watch this movie.
So perhaps the failure is it's own fault, and the movie just doesn't reach the heights that we know such a franchise should - a theory proven once already at least. As it stands we are left with a very plain film that you should probably labour to watch at home.
