I hated the slippery controls for NSMB when compared to BattleBlock. It also suffers from the contra style 2 player death by screen scroll, where BattleBlock lets both players play no matter how far they are apart. Plus Mario suffers from Nintendo's need to put motion controls in every Wii game. "Who can do the best jerk off motion" Drives me crazy. Aside from nostalgia, I find a lot of indie platformers more fun.
I love the humor and soundtrack of Battleblock as well. My wife and I have about 7 hours into Battleblock.
