Might just have the strangest pacing I've ever seen in a video game. "Save the Elder! Defeat the Great Evil! ...go play minigames or mindlessly kill some random enemies, I dunno man. It's required content!" Imagine saving every sage in Ocarina of Time but then Zelda yells at you that you're not allowed to fight Ganondorf until you've played at least 6 combined hours of the shooting gallery and the chest minigame. Just absolutely bizarre, the only "compelling" content is the first two levels of every world and everything after is weird filler nonsense that would actually make sense to do if it happened before you already defeated the boss of the world, but it doesn't. Just a really weird game, at times I had fun but mostly it's just kinda badly designed and very clunky.
