No wonder.

The GCN version, I hear, is much better.
 
When it comes to disappointments Sticker Star is without doubt the biggest it's had. No point expalining the story of the situation as it's pretty clear you know by now.

Other disappointments in the series include Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Party 9 and most recently Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. Can't really see more recent games as disappointments because I don't consider myself much of a Mario fan anymore.
 
Some Mario games I had expectations but disappointed me:

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
I was hoping it would surpass Power Tennis, but the game's content is abysmal. Quite ridiculous when you hear Miyamoto saying: "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

Mario Party 10
I loved Mario Party 9, but this game is just an downgrade version. Well except graphics...

Mario Kart 8
I want to love this game, but I just can't. Physics are very weird, one collision to a wall and you make a 90° angle turn. The heavyweight are blatantly overpowered, to make it worse there are still acceleration tiers for no fucking reason. But the main problem is the atrocious item distribution, based on how far you are from the first and not your ranking anymore. Not to mention the terrible coin item. It is impossible to make a comeback. It leads to frustrating races which are decided in the first set of item boxes. I thought it would change with 200cc, but it's still the same. How to ruin a game which looked to be the best Mario Kart.

Ah, another person who likes Mario Party 9 and was willing to give Mario Party 10 a chance, only to be disapointed. I feel your pain. ^^;
 
I have Wii New Play Control Power Tennis and the controls are fine, they just take a bit to get used to.

My personal disappointments are as follows:

Paper Mario: Sticker Star- As my first Paper Mario game, this game ruined my opinion on the Paper Mario series for a long time. It wasn't until I heard how good TTYD was or downloaded Paper Mario 64 that I realised the series is actually good,

Mario Party 9- I got this for my birthday one year, played it once and then returned it to the shelf and played MPDS. The car just made the game less fun, and I much prefer traditional Mario Party. The minigames are pretty meh compared to MPDS too.

Super Mario Galaxy 2- It simply didn't feel as grand and adventurous as the original did. They also shoehorned Yoshi in for no reason.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash- This game had potential but they decided to rush it for the holidays and it really shows. There is very little content, and questionable choices for new characters. (Sprixie Princess?). The game also feels lifeless and bland compared to Power Tennis despite the gorgeous graphics. I loved the opening cutscene and the victory cutscenes of Pwer Tennis.

I think Sprixie Princess is a decent choice. It's really the omissions rather than who's there that boggles my mind.

I think this is pretty much consequence of the law of conservation of momentum, Mario Kart Wii didn't seem to follow that law very much when collisions with walls or course objects were involved...

Yeah, I think it's more realistic that way, and it doesn't punish you as hard for drifting too tightly.
