I'm very at ends with how I feel about this game. The back axle controls make the game constantly feel like ice physics, which sucks, and I feel like the AI uses traps in some insanely sadistic ways, but something about this just... works. The heavy focus on items, the synergy you can make with character combos, the maps being more experimental and ambitious with their layouts, it just feels good, even when the controls are tricky. Some maps here are absolute stinkers (Sherbet Land is bad), but some are my favorites in the series (Baby Park rep fr). Pretty good, and I feel like if I played it more and got used to the controls and maps, I'd like it more.
