By being a quirky low budget minigame collection, this game is destined to be a very uneven experience. Some of these minigames are dreadful (weighing groceries to swap for a golden treasure with an impossible amount of items to weigh up with and barely any time, snowboarding away from snowmobiles by having to constantly, rapidly tap left and right on the D-pad, pedaling on a bike by alternatingly, rapidly pressing triangle and X while dodging objects for a few minutes) and the occasional instance of minigame repeats really sticks out in a bad way (did we really have to do that get water out of a boat with a bucket minigame THREE times?) AND the game peaks in its first quarter with Taneo. But this game charmed the pants off me and I love revisiting it every so often, especially when I’ve got an unsuspecting friend over who has no idea what they’re in for.
