I think the biggest loss of subspace being the last mode of its kind wasn't the cutscenes, but the 2D platforming

It definitely wasn't done the best, but they could have improved on it in later games... if they bothered to try in the first place

I just miss smash doing platforming segments where you can explore around with your character at all. It's sad that both SSB4s and SSBU increasingly dialed back to the point they're almost gone.

Ult itself just has that fuckass classic mode bonus stage and WoL's final battle now. Smash 4 3DS has Smash Run of course, but Smash 4 Wii U? You have to beat a hard ass Master Quest which I'm not doing, just to have the only platforming segment in that game.
