They put lots of love into this one, and only made a few baffling downgrades: 30 FPS, no dialogue skip for most text, and having to wait for star power to get absorbed before one's turn advances. The upsides? Banjo-Kazooie-mumble-voices for everyone! More sprites for everyone! More dialogue for everyone! Extra enemies?? QoL in the Glitz Pit. Vivian is canonically trans and experiences gender euphoria on screen. Even faster partner switching (it was already quite fast on GCN). Ooo pretty gwafix. Redone OST is mostly great, and when it's not, switching to the GCN OST is a snap. This is a perfectly valid way to play one of the top-two best Mario JRPGs out there. I'd say it's expensive, but so is the GCN one. Something about Dolphins. Basically, TTYD is a cute, funny adventure game with fun combat and creative settings and scenarios. I love my DeviantArt OC ensemble cast. It's a comfy game, and I played it when I was nine, and I thought the game was over after I beat Hooktail, and it blew my nine-year-old mind that there was more game afterward. Yoshi is the cutest.
