Great game, with fun level designs, good humor and dialogue, and a memorable cast of characters. Gotta love Grunty's constant insults. Mumbo's transformations are fun, if a bit underutilized. Doesn't hold up as well as some of the other collectathon games from the N64, especially with how collecting notes resets upon dying/leaving the world. That combined with insta-kills on certain levels (Rusty Bucket Bay) is extremely annoying for a completionist. Playing with a control stick for the c buttons also makes using the moves difficult, especially on the final Grunty fight.

Xbox 360 version keeps the notes upon death/leaving, in case you didn't know.

Didn't remember that, huh. I've played the 360 version too.
