Giant chore from start to finish. Whenever I wasn't thoroughly underwhelmed by the total lack of atmosphere, I was actively mad at the infuriating gameplay. The worst part of this game by far is the camera/dual screen implementation. Not only is there a huge gap between the two screens where you can't see anything, there is also screen crunch for some reason...on a game that was specifically made for the DS. I don't think I've ever been hit by something flying in unreactably from off screen in any other game this much. It is maddening. Sometimes it seems very intentional too, like the fake flower in the insanely long cave level (fucking terrible idea btw). Additionally, the visuals and particularly the soundtrack are really bad. Pretty much the only good looking assets in this game are ripped straight from Yoshi's Island on the SNES. The rest ranges from ehh to horrible (the "kangaroo", Bowser, the bull enemies). The music is bland and utterly unfitting. Just compare the cave or castle themes to those of SNES Yoshi's Island and you'll get exactly what I mean. So yeah...I'm just glad it's finally over.
