Revolutionary for its time, definitely, but looking back at it, it's clear how the poor NES wasn't ready for a game like this. Ambition can only do so much when you need to spam bombs/lamps to find that one specific tile to destroy or have to deal with extremely short and vague hints or "hints". At least the instruction manual is an excellent resource on what to do, if you have enough patience to go through the game legitimately ofc.
Surprisingly, the game is enjoyable with just touch controls, as long as you play on real hardware. My only major sour point would be the obvious Temple of the Ocean King.
I mean, what else do you expect from a licensed game that was made as cheaply as possible?
It's not all bad tho. There was some thought behind the level design. Woody's story, which is the main portion of the game, doesn't overwhelm you with gimmicks. It's just a short, but solid and decently challenging series of 3D platforming with some 2D segments added here and there. You'd be done with it in an hour or two. And if it was just that I could have maybe recommended that game for those into PS2 era B-tier games.
And then they made these two kids playable, and the experience gets much more miserable. Their stories are even shorter, and half of these levels reuse Woody's ones. But boy do they make up for it with half of them being a nasty reminder of Battletoads' "Turbo Tunnel". I'm not joking. These stories are a pure exercise of patience, and the bonus minigame you unlock after going through it all is an insult. Oh and obligatory YouTuber remark, these cutscenes and voiceovers are completely unhinged.
Overall, play Woody's story, play the rest only if you're really curious.
