How many boxes do you see in that level? I counted 2. 3 if you count the inacessible green one in the beginning. There really haven't been an overabudance of blocks in Mario games since the SNES days. What it does have though is varied terrain, tricky gaps to be traversed, and platforming in general. Mario games are always about getting from A to point B, with the terrain and obstacles being designed to prevent that.
In Knack, from what I see, there is not much stopping you from running across the stage aside from the enemies. The combat is seemingly the only obstacle to knack. The end of the footage shows some conveyor belt stuff and machinery, which is a start. As for what it needs, I don't know. I'm not a game developer, so I really can't say. All I could say is that as of right now, it doesn't look all that interesting.

How many Coins did you see? ;)
and that wasn't really a real level. You shouldve used the 1st stage in Mario 64
Either way if you took away the coins and blocks in that stage you linked, You would have a run, enemy, run, enemy stage
You helped prove my point ;)

Except you'd also have slopes, teetering platforms, difficult jumps, platform carosel, narrow bridges, flamethrowers, electric balls orbiting crystals for some reason, etc etc. With or without the coins, the level would be interesting.
Traversing the actual levels is fun and interesting. I don't see that in knack. You can feel free to check how many boxes there are. Not that many.

All of that stuff can easily be in knack. We already have slopes, electric ball enemies(NOT orbiting a crystal), arrow traps(just like flame throwers but just with arrows). You and i were actually able to play the retail version of Mario 64 so of course you or i would know about the different obstacles in the game
I think you should wait for the final retail version to release before passing judgement
Also, Mario has had multiple years to develop and establish itself so i dont think its fair to expect Knack to come out and be on par with something like Mario in all aspects
