This was my first time playing this game to completion & I think its a pretty great 2d platformer!! Weirdly enough the graphics and music are my favorite thing about it more than the platforming and collecting, though, thats not to say I didnt like Playing the game.. the opposite rlly. What started as relatively easy got progressively more challenging and demanding of the mechanics to get the most out of the game, and i really liked Yoshi's kit! Its fun! I enjoy how this game uses that one fancy chip to make pseudo-3d looking objects and things in the background as well, this truly is a really special game and Im so glad I picked it up to play it.
h ow e v e r.. my most major criticisms for this lay in certain aspects of the game design with (ofc) baby mario. The crying aside, (theres a patch to mute him anyways) I think the most frustration i got out of this game was when Id be platforming and he'd be somewhere totally out of my reach due to lack of eggs, or enemies dogpiling the fuck out of my asshole all at once to the point where i couldnt even get up to do anything to retrieve baby mario BECAUSE YOSHIS HIT STUN ANIMATION JUST KEEPS HAPPENINGGGG
and i also hated the slippery portions of world 5 though i do think its a pretty world... i just... EAUGHN
Also F U C K kamek
ever since i was a little girl ive thought kamek gave off the vibes of a fucking asshole. This game also has levels harder than the bosses and I hated the more labyrinth/figure-it-out puzzles more than anything else in the levels you'd encounter.

But at the end of the day im still giving it a 4/5 because this was a genuinely good game and it was really satisfying beating it

fuck you kamek
