While aged in some ways (namely in camera control) it is still mostly a joy to play and something everyone should experience at least once. However, the final few stages, namely Tiny-Huge Island, Snowman's Land, Tall Tall Mountain and especially Rainbow Ride, feel almost unfinished with poor level design and questionable collision, with Rainbow Ride being painful with how awful it is. Also, the final boss sucks. But still, the rest is near flawless and having one of the best soundtracks in the whole franchise.
