Games are saved, and Data dances. When will he stop dancing? When will it stop? Data won't stop dancing - not until memory cards are gone.

Seems like the main dividing factor of this game is whether you like this "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to 3D platformer design or not. For me, this definitely feels like it leans too hard into its minigames and side modes compared to the other entries, taking away from the simple satisfaction of classic Spyro exploration and gameplay. It's a very "cool sounding bullet points on the back of the box" philosophy, the same thing that motivated DK64's whole deal. Obviously this game handles itself much better than that, but something is definitely lost in all of these new features and minigames (the lack of supercharge stages is SAD). Still pretty good because its Spyro though.

Incredible presentation here, definitely feels maybe a little more like a yoshi game than a Kirby game but who cares, its a really solid 2D platformer where every level sets out to delight you moreso than challenge you. I don't understand how so much of the conversation around when this game came out was how you can't die, because seeing hundreds of beads drop out of you every second you're getting lifted out of a pit is way more devastating than just losing a life.
