The freedom of customization without filters.
Excellent in representing the characters' identities based on their personality.

He thrives on surprise. Once the situations are seen, when they repeat, he loses some of his strength.
Expanding the management of the island itself is the next step that the saga must take. For now, it is too basic.

There is no filter, you are free to put or create whatever you want. Walls, furniture, floors, objects...
The island is your own sandbox. You have plenty of space for your drawings.
You will laugh more than once. Or even get angry with them. It's overflowing with emotions.

No understandable conversations between Miis outside of short generic cutscenes in many cases.
The phrases spoken by the Miis are repeated too quickly.
Rather eclectic news programs or moments of "What's happening over there", instead of mini-stories with characters.
