I adore the aesthetic and I think some parts of this game are really really creative and fun but as for the game itself...I just couldn't completely get into it. First of all, I don't really like how Yoshi feels all that much. It's a little slippery. Secondly, a lot of the level design was really frustrating and stressful, not being helped by the weird checkpoint placement. Enemies also sometimes fly straight in your face from off screen, which is quite annoying. Speaking of, getting hit in this game is insanely annoying. Not only does Baby Mario immediately start shouting the most ear-destroying horrible cry known to man (yes it IS as bad as everyone says), he also seems to always fly straight up to a point where Yoshi can't physically reach him. Unless there is an even more annoying spot (like immediately above lava or spikes), in which case he will of course make a beeline there instead. Maybe I'll like it more on an eventual replay, but for now, since giving it an average score would feel weird, I'll rate it "I liked it".
