One of the most polished sidescrolling experiences of the original PlayStation, and maybe even the whole gen.
It's a short game that's also Yoshi's Story levels of babby tier easy. But still feels satisfying enough to beat, and the game makes the most of it's simple mechanics such as using enemies to jump higher, in order to create plenty of engaging platforming sections, specially on latter levels and Balue's Tower.
Admittedly, a lot of it is carried by it's story. It's hard for me to describe it but it has the same charm as something like the original Dragon Ball or Digimon Adventure 02. Whimsical yet not afraid to take a serious turn or have stakes. This game is like a rainbow of soul after the deluge of 'tude mascot slop from the SNES and Genesis era.
Only rating this 3.5 because i want to try Klonoa 2 (and a few of the handheld games to top it off) and see how it compares.
