One of the only N64 games where the performance actively hurts my enjoyment of the game. Tetrisphere's gameplay loop isn't bad at all, but the game chugs like a CAVE shmup with too many bullets on screen. The difference being, instead of a helpful hardware exploit to make difficult sections manageable, the puzzle flow comes to a halt.

There's been late 90s/early 2000s D&B/Jungle reassessment, and while I do like a lot of soundtracks that fit into that genre, a lot are hookless, boring and repetitive. Tetrisphere's soundtrack is closer to the average than we'd like to admit.
