Still one of the greatest 3D platformers of all time. Both Galaxy 1 and 2 are great, but what I think puts this one over the edge of its sequel is the more exploratory design in its galaxies.

Freezeflame, Sea Slide, and Melty Molten are my personal favorite galaxies. And the Purple Coin missions are my favorite part of the game, especially the ones where you have to explore across the whole level to find all 100.

Peak Mario.

Half a star off because they denied us the Pearlina wedding ending we all wanted.

No but seriously, this might genuinely be the most fun story campaign in a Splatoon game yet! Side Order is surprisingly addicting. As you attain more hacks and learn the best Color Chip combos, each run at the tower becomes more and more fun!

It was really cool going into each run with different Palettes and learning what the best ways to maximize every weapon was. The missions are fun and simple without feeling repetitive for the most part, the boss fights are all extremely creative, and wow! What an amazing final battle!
