Platformers from this era are so numerous and largely the same. Cartoony characters, collectathon platforming, and insufferable mini-games. That said, I liked this game a lot.

The platforming levels are all pretty enjoyable and the game feels nice to control. Although, there is the occasional jank with swinging and climbing. The aforementioned insufferable mini-games aren't great, but they're not obnoxious enough to ruin the experience. It comes close at the end of the game though. I didn't use most of the bonus upgrades, but they're fun rewards for collecting all the clues in each level. I know a lot of people who grew up with this game and still love it. I'd say it mostly holds up. Excited to check out the sequels.
