Newfound appreciation for this after playing the games before it. Having an escape option for minimal backtracking is nice. Sigma stages being easier when you don't really need to worry about weapon ammo. My 1st run I didn't use the dash nearly as often as I should have been. Probably played it 3 or 4 times now and still enjoying myself.

Dash and wall jumps are such a huge advancement that going back to just sliding and I think even MM9/10 removing that is going to feel awful.
