I was absolutely hyped for this game upon release, and I was NOT disappointed. The music. The visuals, the super fun Capture & extra jump mechanics with Cappy. The absolute silliness of a GIANT REALISTIC DRAGON. God, I loved this game.

Kinda wish I could forget about it so I could play it all again..but not really.

Only problem was that the Mushroom Kingdom postgame was a liiiittle lame. I was expecting some super-cool SM64 area remakes or something, not gonna lie. And I also wanted more to do after beating the game (sort of one-and-done)

But that feels like more of a me problem than the game.
