In my personal opinion I enjoy this game the same amount as sm64 but I still love it. There really was nothing like it back in the day it's just brimming with so much character and love that you just didn't see back then. Everything from the characters to the levels to even the textures are just so memorable and each level is just a blast to go through. The controls are just perfect and just makes sense which was pretty uncommon back then and the moveset is just fun to use. The soundtrack also is killer.
